Printer does not print in color even after cleaning

Hello,

I have an Epson L3110 and for some weeks the color printing was getting weaker and weaker.

I followed youtube and cleaned the print head using isopropanol and warm distilled water. After cleaning, there was no blockage to water flowing through the printhead ... everything seemed great. After putting the printhead back in, I did nozzle cleaning 4x to make sure the printhead was loaded with color ... and the color printing was OK!

I turned the printed off for the night and the next day, printing in color resulted in nothing being printed, only black printing worked! I cleaned the head again, did 5x nozzle cleaning to fill the printhead with color, I made sure there is no air in the tubes and when printing in color .. nothing happenned, I still cannot print anything in color.

What am I doing wrong?

Best,

Daniel

Hi There - I had to go one beyond the Nozzle Cleaning and do a Power Cleaning to get mine sorted.

You can access it by right clicking your printer in control panel/devices and printers and selecting Printing Preferences, then Maintenance tab at the top and then Power Cleaning.

You can only do this once every 12 hours and it uses a lot of ink and also puts that ink into the ink pads, but if you are only doing it once in a blue moon, you should be good to go.

Anyway, worked for me - good luck.

Hi!

I did that twice unfortunately without effect. I ordered a bunch of cleaning fluid, will unclog the whole thing again making sure there are no hardened clumps in the tubing, cartidges and tank system and if that doesnt help, Im gonna say goodbye to my printer:)

Thanks for responding, I appreciate it.

Just for info, for this printer type.

Beware when you use cleaner fluid/injecting your tank manually, sometimes it goes to the flexy cable that point to the head and guess what happened.

  1. It could make your printer regulator death (death printer)
  2. It could make your printer controller defect (some only can print in black and some none of the colour were printed)
