Re: Clogged Yellow Cartridge in the Epson 3000

["Jerry Olson" <jerryols@badlands.nodak.edu>]

Halp!

My epson 3000 has a clogged yellow head. The nozzle check doesn't show
any yellow.

I've cleaned the nozzles 7 times, and still no yellow. It was printing
just fine, using MIS OEM inks. (Supposedly Epson OEM clone inks), not
archival. About half the cartridges are used up and I haven't had any
trouble til now. In fact I just finished 30 glossy 8x10 prints, and was
going for the 31st when I noticed that all the leaves were pure blue, no
green at all in a closeup of a single flower against a ferny background.

I do have a set of flushing cartridges that I got for when I switch to
the Fotonic inks next week. Would running this through in place of the
yellow cartridge be adviseable? How much of the solution would be used
up?  Or should I try and clean the printer heads a few more times?
