Well, I now know what a clog from hell is. On the nozzle check pattern on the 3000 printer, there is ONE little line that will NOT print. I've went through 50 cleanings, YES 50!!! and its the same damn line that won't print. Question: the black cartridge prints 2 test patterns, and the color cartridges print one each. The first of the black patterns is not clogged, nor are the color. Why are there 2 black patterns? I've put windex on the pads where the heads sit, but still can't get rid of this clog. Is there anything to do short of sending the printer into Epson? Thanks. J - Please do not include an entire message in your response.
