1430 Question - Print Heads

[dchristensen]

Hi, everyone.

After doing a head clean and then printing a test page, I get this:

You can see that the third head from the left doesn’t show anything.

Am I correct in assuming that the printer head has failed?

What print colour would the third nozzle be on a 1430?

Many thanks for any suggestions/help.

I believe the is the light cyan channel

I suggest this:

PiezoFlush® Cleaning Kit for Epson Desktop Printers

Thanks, Walker - yes - I did use PiezoFlush and followed the cleaning instructions on your site - to no avail. It’s strange that it just stopped working - the printer was used regularly (but not excessively) to keep the nozzles working. I’ll have a closer look at the cyan nozzle and poke around some more.
