Any suggestions? Thank you and thank you for this forum! Not sure if I want to repair ($400 overhaul according to my epson tech) get another one these models or go one size up. Hope this info might help you figure this out.
I have reset ink counter using an inkreset software, and also I noticed when checking ink info it said status was fatal and my inks were unavailable. I put all ink carts back in and still same message. Just now, I removed all ink cartridges, started it up and same error message and blinking lights as before. i was hoping that would take care of it it but no such luck. I replaced all new Epson ink cartridges since the initial error popped up. I removed all the ink pads from under the printer too-yuck! I was hoping that would reset an ink sensor or something but no. Nothing else on LCD panel except the error message. Red x on top of LCD “Error”, below that it says Printer error. I was excited.īut during the third cleaning, printer stopped, something popped up for a second from my Epson utilities screen saying something about incompatible or unrecognizable inks or something? I don’t remember exactly.Īnd now after power up, it begins it’s start up like usual, vivid magenta pops up on LCD with the dots moving to the right then…īoth (power and ink) lights begin blinking alternately. Yes, I used it the Piezoflush kit as instructed and it worked fine I believe.Īfter the cleaning, I was able to print off a few test sheets and ran two head cleaning cycles which got it almost perfect. Thank you very much for replying to my post. If the printer still gives an “ink” error, and isn’t indicating a specific cart is low/empty, then try shutting down the printer like you did before, but this time instal the set of fresh carts after turning it back on. At this time, reinstall the set of carts to see how the printer responds. After plugging in the power cord and turning it back on, the printer will indicate no carts are installed. Remove all carts, and turn the printer off for a few minutes (unplug all cables).
I would try the following things before bringing the printer to a repair center: Other than the lights, what is displayed on the printer’s LCD panel? Does it show cartridge positions? If so, are any flashing or have a line thru them? Have you made sure all carts are installed snugly, and opened/closed the cartridge chamber lid, to make sure it’s closed tightly? I looked thru the R3000 printer manual, and unfortunately it doesn’t give any more info about the light sequence you’re getting… Are both the ink and power lights blinking? If so, are they blinking at the same time, or alternately? So, you used our PiezoFlush print head cleaning kit, and were able to do 2 cleaning cycles after, before the error began? How did you use our print head cleaning kit on your R3000 printer? Our instructions specify to use it directly on the print head. Epson tech support is not helpful “bring it to a tech” Anything I can I try? Thank you for the blog and all the other documentation. I’m curious what the tech would do that I am not. Are there pads on the bottom of the printer I need to clean or replace? Any help, thoughts before I bring this to an Epson technician. I’m wondering if possibly all my inks may have been low and near empty and that is why I’m receiving the message? Especially if I’m going to be bringing this to the technician. I have all new Epson ink cartridges that I can put in/ replace but not sure if I should. I have reset the ink counter, cleaned the capping station, ink pads, switched out USB cable, etc. It was almost working perfectly before the message. Now when I turn on the printer, after a few seconds, the ink icon and power button blinks and it says Error, turn off printer and restart, see documentation. On what I thought was going to be last head cleaning before it would be perfect, I noticed a message popped up on the printer utility, it said something like cannot recognize printer cartridges or something- it’s not there now. I was quite psyched I got my printer back…well almost. I almost got the photo black channel back entirely so was going to do one more head cleaning (third one) after cleaning. I purchased the flush kit and it seemed to have worked.
I had a stubborn photo black channel that kept getting clogged. I became familiar with this blog after my Epson r3000 kept getting clogged, streaks, etc.
