Printer problem

[Greg Vincent]

Hi Folks,

My Epson R220 is spewing out ink at a great rate and leaving a layer of ink on the print that just won't dry in days, it's that thick.  I'm using genuine Epson cartridges and paper.  I'd put it through a cleaning cycle, but I'm afraid it might pour more ink into the machine than I care to clean up.

Any thoughts as to my problem?  I tried searching for troubleshooting info but nothing comes up about too much ink, just when there's not enough :-(

Or, is this a sign from Epson Heaven that I'm about ready for that R1400?

Regards,

Greg

   There's probably a Yahoo "printer" group that knows exactly  what the
problem is.

Thanks KK,

I've looked everywhere I can think of but haven't had any luck on the Internet.

I did however have a look at the back of one of the overly-wet prints and couldn't find the Epson logo, but it was smooth and glossy back there :-) :-)  I printed the next couple of images on the glossy side (with the logo on the back) and everything seems to be normal again. Duh.

I think there is a term for this in the computer support world: PEBKAS
 
    Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Seat
 
Can you post an image of your red face?
 
All kidding aside, we've all been there!  Glad it turned out to be a simple
fix.

Thanks KK,

I've looked everywhere I can think of but haven't had any luck on the
Internet.

I did however have a look at the back of one of the overly-wet prints and
couldn't find the Epson logo, but it was smooth and glossy back there :-)
:-) I printed the next couple of images on the glossy side (with the logo on
the back) and everything seems to be normal again. Duh.

   NEVER have one of those third party ink maker's refill your cartridges.
Never!

Not for now anyway.  Perhaps after I learn how to load paper in the printer :-) :-)

My particular shade of red might be hard to reproduce :-)

Almost sounds like the paper is in backwards.

Bill, you are quite right.  Adding further to my embarrassment is the fact that this happened more than once :-( :-(

Greg
