because its terrible off-brand ink and the seller doesnt have color profiles to correct it even though he stated he does in other asked questions. Get a refund

Do a nozzle check on your printer. Run three consecutive cleaning cylces.Change your graphic to a jpg and print in rgb.Google it.Just a couple suggestions.

I wish I had a solution for you but unfortunately I had to scrap my HP Officejet for the exact same issue. We tried changing all of the cartridges, including the black twice, just in case it was just a bad head and we even updated the software. After dealing with this ink-guzzling monster for over a year we junked it and got the Epson Workforce printer. We're having much better ink use with the new printer.

Almost certainly your printer has a dirty or clogged print head on one of the cartridges. Use the utilities to assist in diagnosing the problem. Regards, Bill

I've had this issue with numerous colors. Many times I go to "Paint" and create a solid black image. Close paint and title it "Black". Then go to a program like "Wordpad". Open wordpad and drop and drag the "Black picture onto it. Stretch the image out as much as you can.Now just keep printing this over and over until the color comes back. You may get the "Black cartage is empty" message, so hit the rest. If this fails, unplug the printer and let it sit for a while. This removes any of Epson's built in "Fake errors". These fake errors are designed to get you to buy more cartridges, even though you have plenty of ink. I've had this issue with numerous colors.

Britini, since the black is used more than the other colors, I would suggest cleaning you printer heads every time you change a cartridge. Also, make sure that the security tape that needs to be removed has been removed. If yes, and your cartridge is still not working, check the cartridge to make sure the film over the dispenser site has been punctured to allow the ink to fill the well. I hope this has been helpful. Best of luck. Rebecca Bell

Sounds like one of the Colored Ink cartridges ink nozzles is clogged. Try running the Ink Head Cleaner that your printer has under the printer properties. If after cleaning a couple times, it still is not working properly, you might want to try a Ink Solvent to clean the heads. If all else fails you might want to replace the ink cartridge completely and I believe that the clogged / bad ink cartridge would be the Cyan color.

It probably will for a short period until you replace the color cartridge but long use without all cartridges will probably damage the printer. Even when setting your preference to print only black it uses a little of the color cartridge per Epson. I recommend contracting Epson for exact information. I have not run into this situation since mine is still new. Good luck.

If you use Epson printers, ink and paper the results are incredible. Both my printers print with 6 colors. People cannot believe the quality of the pictures.Chuck

I did firmware update before installing. And the cartridges do not recognize. Which company did you purchase from? And what do the chips look like on yours that do work? Mine look like wavy pattern, while genuine Epson have 9 island pattern. Thanks for response!

I have the c3180 and had no problems with ink smearing. The transparency paper has one side that feels smooth and the other side is slightly rough. I laud out my designs to dry, just in case but was very rough after that. I used them for a home screen-printing machine.

First i would change that black ink cartouche..also consider uninstall and reinstall the HP software in your computer..and definitely not a bad idea..do calibration and the cleaning head feature..

No problem with printer printing in purple hue. Have you cleaned the printer ink heads under the maintenance menu? And only purchase the kodak ink for the printer, do not refill the cartridges. Well I hope this is helpful and I hope it works. MERRY CHRISTMAS

No, it won't print if is out of color ink. It already happen to me. Even though I was trying to pring a black copy.

It might be that the printhead is dirty. I save that blue alignment/cleaning card at the bottom of the stack of photo paper and run it through again (put it back on the bottom, with the printed side down, and it'll run through when you close the paper compartment cover). I also put it back on the bottom if it's going to be a while before I use the printer again.

I had a similar problem and the only solution that worked for me was to remove the XL cartidge and replace it with a similar one that is not XL. It seems that ink in the XL cartridge drys up and blocks the flow. I am not using any XL cartridges in the future because of this problem.
