hello
Ive just bought new ink cartridges for my printer, ive put them in but cant get the black ink to print at all, ive cleaned the print heads loads of times but it works for a few lines of print and then fades to nothing again. Any advice greatfully recieved.

It sounds like a faulty cartridge, perhaps you need to return it?
i tried a new cartridge - still didnt work
tried everything infact
unfortunately i had to buy a new printer
Crayola im starting to get that feeling, ive tried everything i can think of (which admittedly isnt a lot lol) but i think i have to resign myself to the fact i need a new one >:(
Now can anyone recommend a good (cheap) printer? lol
never mind - its still in my loft so at least i have a spare !!!
heldaz, i just got another epson :-/
there was a lexmark one that was cheaper, but i read on this site that the ink for lexmark is really expensive ???
hope u can get your old printer to work tho
Ive just had to get a new printer and chose the Epson C84 as it uses fade resistant ink and has separate cartridges. The quality of print is far superior to the stylus 600 it replaces. So far I would not hesitate to recommend it, costs about £85. and peplacement cartridges about £7.50 each.
kind regards

Got new blue cartridge and it will not print blue when I do the nozzle check. Done the cleaning routine 6 times but still did not print blue. Got another new cartridge but still will not print blue. All other colours print fine
Any ideas anybody, such as how else to clear any blockage?
