Hello list, This is just a word of caution regarding Amanda's solution from Marrutt to re-establish the yellow ink flow in her Epson printer. I had a similar experience a couple of months ago when in the hot spell, the adhesive on my CIS support bar failed allowing the ink lines to drop and subsequently (why I don't know) partially drain the ink from the cartridges. I re-primed the system, did a nozzle check and all appeared fine for a couple of prints; at this point, the yellow started printing intermittently, so once more after re-priming the yellow I thought I would give the yellow nozzle a good work out as Amanda did. I left it printing pages of yellow bars and blocks over lunch, only to find an hour later that the yellow had petered out after a couple of pages. After re-priming again, the yellow nozzle refuses to print at all and I feel certain that firing the nozzle with no ink present means damaged nozzles and a head replacement - that is unless someone out there knows otherwise! I recently bought an Epson 2100 and although tempted to go down the CIS route using Lyson Fotonic inks, would like to hear any comments before committing to these inks - their samples and literature look promising but does anyone have practical experience yet! On a different note, (and if this is against list rules I apologize in advance) I am an Authorized Nikon Dealer and will be happy to offer members of PRODIG very good deals on any Nikon equipment if they contact me off list through my web site.
