Hi, I have an ET4850 just over a year old and use it on a regular basis. The ink tanks looks to be half full but now when I do nozzle checks nothing is printing (started just black, but now all 3 colours aren't printing). I also performed a Power clean (purchased a new maintenance tank). It doesn't look like any ink went down during the power clean, which I understand should go down by quite a bit. Could the ink have dried out (live in a warm climate)? If so how do I replace the ink? Thank you

[@gabbadd5840]

[@gabbadd5840]

@@epsonamerica it is the same as the one that was in the box when I purchased the printer 2 years ago. I really like the printer, the last forever ink completely offset the cost of the printer. Just don’t understand what the refill problem is..I will call during the week. Thanks.

The color on my ET-3850 is great but, even though the black ink level is high and I ran the print head cleaner and power washer the black text prints as a very faint, outline of the text.

I refilled my printer after it ran out of black ink. Now, even though the tank is full, it doesn't print with black ink.

Instructions coming in the box with ET-4850 is the most confuse and incomplete thing that I have seen in my life. I bought one yesterday and there is no way that I can close the lid.

This is a really good printer kzbin.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 . The reason I gave 4 stars for tech support (which I don't think this would classify as tech support) is because once you turn the printer on, it does require a little bit of start up time which may bother some who are in a hurry to quickly print something. To offset that though the printer prints very quickly. I would definitely purchase this printer again.

Close the lid

[@mommasully2736]

I cannot get the ink lid to open as easily as all these videos show.

[@epsonamerica]

Hi! Are you able to access the ink tanks?

[@richmilligan813]

The ET-4850 has a different method to open the ink lid from most of the other ECOTANK printers. 1) Raise the COMPLETE 2-piece scanner & access lid assembly to full locking height. 2) Now can flip the ink lid BACKWARDS to open. 3) unlatch the blue ink stoppers so can position the new ink bottles onto the fill nozzles.

Bingo. This was driving me crazy. Thanks for the explanation.
