I have got no blue coming through at all at the moment on this printer, which i use pigment ink in, i have done a couple of cleans, but now think i need to clean the blue bit individually as i am wasting a lot of other colour ink when i dont need to.
how do you clean the actual head, manually ? do i need anything special ? is there a guide to cleaning them.
thanks in advance
Don't think it's possible to clean a single head on that printer unless there is some 3rd party system out there.

ok, i have tried putting a new cartridge in but still nothing, im a bit stuck now, as if its head clean function does not clear it - what does ??

Bugger, it looks like its the chip box that is at fault, i now cant even nozzle check or print clean, as the epson wont recognise the cartridges, looks like a call to continuous ink systems

Hi Laura! you can clean your head with this 3rd party cleaning system (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Inkjet-Printer-Print-Head-Printhead-Unblock-Epson-Canon-/140500608827?pt=UK_Computing_Printer_Paper_Accesso ries_ET&hash=item20b67d273b#ht_2290wt_1139). you can clean whatever had you want. or all of them. I just bought this for my R285.

I thought they never blocked ;0)
i did not used my R285 for ver a year. I had ciss hooked up with pigment ink. Now i just converted it to back up sublimation printer. Menaged to get about 98% nozzlr patern but i want 100%. And who said they never block?
