Hi,
I've just bought an Epson B40W and Artainium CIS system and I'm having real problems getting it to work.
On the first nozzle check, the colours were perfect but the black wasn't visible. Did a head clean and the black started to come through but still very poor. Another head clean and the black was better but still very poor. A third head clean and the black was about 75% there but the magenta and cyan started to go. A fourth head clean and the magenta, cyan and yellow are almost completely gone, but the black is good. I did fifth and final head clean and the magenta, cyan and yellow were completely gone, but the black was perfect.
I left it over night because the Artainium instructions say not to do more than 5 head cleans at a time. I've tried again today and after a couple of head cleans, I've managed to get the cyan perfect but the magenta and yellow are not visible at all.
As well as this, I have been told that the cartridges are empty and need changing about 3 or 4 times (sometimes just the black one, sometimes just the colours and sometimes all the cartridges).
The Artainium website doesn't seem to have any techical support for the B40W at all.
Does anyone have any ideas as I have no idea what to do now?
Thanks in advance.
