This is exactly what I needed. Thank you. I had very similar symptoms. We are a family of 8 here and the printer gets a lot of action. With it being as new as it is I thought the same thing. Something has to give. It was fine on the first print and then it was magenta and black on the second and so on. Cyan and yellow were completely missing on the nozzle checks, cleaning, etc. Ink levels all more than 50%. Power cleaned and less than a minute after I did several test prints and I was back in business! I understand it can take 12 hours after the fact, but it was so simple and amazing either way. I will gladly replace my waste tank when the time comes. I work in IT and printers are complicated beasts, but we need them to function regardless. This is great.

Tip to save most of your ink without draining it through the process of power cleaning is to hold the power button once you see the slightest change in ink levels. Turn the printer back on and give it some time to adjust and do a test print with color and should be fixed.

Same problem Model ET4800. Tried to clean the nozzle 3 times....no luck. I opened the ink reservoir cover and saw that each color had a cover that when you open it looks like it somehow allows air in. I took a drinking straw and blew air into the blue one, it made a sound sorta like bubbling. I then did another nozzle clean....no luck. I then did another nozzle clean but this time I GENTLY puffed on the straw while it was printing. It got looking about halfway as good as the other colors. So I did it again. PERFECT. I then printed a a color picture like yours. PERFECT.

yep I am having the exact same issues except after multiple nozzle checks and head cleaning it prints ZERO color only black. I spent hours trying to troubleshoot I even checked all my computer printer settings, drivers, software, printing from different computers and software, etc. After much googling I’ve come to the possibility of clog in the tubes and this here doing a power clean….i wasn’t exactly sure what it entailed when it said “chance to replace ink” now I know. So what I’ve learned is that this is the next step is to do the power clean and then if that still doesn’t work then opening up the printer and taking the tubes out and cleaning the tubes in warm water to clear out the clogs if that’s the case. So I REALLY REALLY hope that this fixes it. THANK YOU for this video this is the exact same printer/model I have that is giving me this problem. My other printer is an Epson ET-2800 converted to sublimation…that one is having discoloration issues and my projects colors came out nothing like the original image… so I guess that’ll be next for me to attack and figure out unless you know about that also.

Hi! :) Same issue here with my black ink and et2800 converted for sublimation. Worked just fine then quit in the middle of a job. Did head cleanings, multiple, started to clean up then other colors quit printing. I finally got it working again, all colors with multiple purge files. That was 2 weeks ago. I haven't used my printer since, while printing a sheet it quit half way through...ugh!! I really didn't want to do power clean, so i did a little more digging and someone on another site suggested changing to another print setting and I printed on glossy, and it worked just fine!! I normally use premium presentation paper matte. so after 2 print tests with glossy photo, I ran test with premium presentation paper matte, and nothing, nadda ,zip, zilch and zero. I tried it on plain paper setting and nothing. Any idea as to why I can get it to print on glossy but no other setting? This printer is practically brand new, only used a few times.

My problem is that when initializing the ink it said "fill the tank with ink" tank singular not tanks plural. I thought we were going to initialize each tank separately. Now it won't print any colors. There's no option to reinitialize the ink and every method of resetting this printer is not giving me a second chance to initialize the ink.

I have never heard of that. Have you found anything online that addresses the issue? I don't know if a factory reset would do the job and let you start over - I assume so but not sure - but here is an article that tells you how to do it www.techsolutions.support.com/how-to/how-to-factory-reset-an-epson-printer-10257

My yellow prints super light? What could it be or is that normal? Yours yellow looks nice and bright.

When you print something with yellow in it, does it match the yellow in your image?

I have a printer that the original owner tossed out because it doesn't print yellow at all. Ill try this out as soon as i get more ink and a maintenance cartridge, since the tanks are empty and the cartridge is full

What do you recommend to fix my red from coming out magenta 😩
@MakingwithMarilyn6 ай бұрын
So when you try to print red it comes out magenta? What have you tried so far, if anything?

Hi Marilyn. I have an Epson 2720 eco tank printer that isn’t printing the right colors. I found the last page I printed after doing a nozzle clean and a head clean. Would you believe it’s also my blue that isn’t printing. I wasn’t getting the blue to print after doing another head cleaning. I did 3 more head cleanings and it still wasn’t printing the blue. The next step like you said was the power clean. My tanks are between 1/3 and 1/2 full. The blue being half. Thank you for your advice. I don’t know if I’m going to do the power clean. I have to think about it. I’ll let you know!

I can’t initiate power cleaning. Just says go to website like you said. Can’t hold down print button for 5 seconds or do anything to initiate power cleaning.
@MakingwithMarilyn5 ай бұрын
Did your power cleaning end up helping your printer out?
@julius.2003Ай бұрын
In this case, you have to turn it off and then hold the power button + questionmark at the same time to initialize the power cleaning
