Ink won't come through!

[artgeek]

Hi,llian i have the same printer wf7110 and had some problems fitting the ciss which is conected to a block of fillable empty carts by a long(not long enough) hose.As i understand you did not buy a ciss,just the refillable cartridge type.And this is what your having problems with?A11kns is correct you have to clear all the air out and make sure they click into place firmly.In the menu screen select nozel check,this prints test page(which shows ink flow)If your getting no ink (or error mesages)then you have to do head clean.The printer will not print if it shows any error messages,which usualy are carts not reconised,click in again,or air in system ,head clean.Have a look on youtube after a bit of searching there is one on refilling this model.I know its a Pain,hope this helps.

Hi

Well the curtain has closed we have been defeated before we even start!

We purchased yet another set of cartridges - from the link A11kns gave. Guess what? Don't work.

Yes we have cleaned the heads
Yes we have primed the carts
Yes we have followed instructions for clearing air out
No we are not getting any error messages

Hubby has had enough. We have spent far too much money in trying to get this all to work and he is fed up with getting covered in ink; he has had enough

We know the heat presses work, but we simply can't get the printer to print!!! argh!

I guess we've now got to try and sell the heat presses and the sub products. I don't expect we'll get out money back, which, tbh, we can ill afford as I am disabled and we have no income. So much for an enjoyable hobby

Depending on where you bought it, you may be able to send it back for a refund. I did this with the same printer as you and got a refund - no quibble.

I bought another and have had exactly the same issues! That's going back as well.

If you go this route just pop the original cartridges back and don't mention the sub ink. I understand that Epson don't even look at them! With the number they must have returned to them they won't have the time!

I have got a couple of Brother printers that work like a dream. One I bought as a back up cost £22.00 on eBay and is great.

I'm so sorry you have reached this state and do blame Epson for producing what, for many people, is a piece of garbage. Having said that, I am aware that some have used this same printer without problems.

Best wishes,

Ray

Thanks Ray.

Unfortunately, hubby has just told me he didn't keep the original cartridges as they were purely for setup - and didn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH! So I guess as we don't have those we are well and truely screwed
