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.

If there is air in the feed tube you can bleed it like a brake line. Move the reservoir slightly above the printer. Remove the plug on the cartridge until the air moves from the tube. Replace the plug. If the air does not flow the vent on the reservoir may be clogged. If none of that fits the black jet nozzle(s) may be clogged.

I have an Artisan 710 that has used a ciss flawlessly for years. Because of that, my parents bought a 730 a few months ago and I installed a ciss on theirs. It has not had any problems. I saw a comment somewhere where someone said they did a firmware update on their 730 and now it doesn't recognize the ciss cartridges. I don't know about that, I have only seen that comment once. At any rate, if I had a 730 with 3rd party ink I wouldn't update the firmware just to be on the safe side.

Turn it off, then turn it back on. Try this a few times. It happens to my 1400 and 220. It will eventually recognize it again. The biggest problem for me is clogging print nozzles.

Artisan 810 is the same model I have. All I had to do re-seat the cyan. I screwed up and removed the film over the ink hole which I think caused my problem. I did remove the protective tab. The film is pierced by the printer and I forgot. The cartridge wouldn't seat properly (no click). After pushing firmly it clicked and off it went! Hope this helps.

It happened to me the first time because I forgot to remove the black cap , see the assembling instruction Ax1. After I removed the black cap, everything works perfect. Good luck!

Send in for a new one...really! Or you could try to fix it by buying new boards; it is not the back light or power supply.

I am experiencing the exact same problem. I bought this printer in 2012 and after a year, the black ink cartridges, no matter how often I changed them, would get sketchy and quit printing in black after about eight pages. VERY disappointing!

Best bet, send it back and ask for a new one. Mine has worked fine since day one. You deserve for yours to work also. Hope this helps bro.

Ours just went out as well after inserting a new keg... had it since Dec of 2008 without any issues. I'm hoping someone has an answer for this problem as we can't figure out what went wrong!

You don't . This printer is notorious for NOT working when printing black. I was sent new printing heads& new cartridges, neither of which solved the problem

I own an artisan 810. It works great for us, we have had for over two years (we think).

Epson artisan 730 and artisan 837, opening the top of the printer (to look inside where the ink cartridges are) is all you do to reset them. Very simple. All you do is open the printer top then close it. You'll see when your installing the CISS The Epson 837 with CISS in my opinion is the best ink/printer combo. Ive done over 10,000 prints with the same printer, thanks to those 'Ink Pad Reset keys'. :)

My printer stopped printing in black and white and will only print in color. I have never experienced anything like this. I've cleaned the printer head and run all diagnostics available and nope. It was great when it worked but this printer is only two years old. The hell.

I would contact the company...that is what I did when mine stopped working. Just google X-acto and go to "ask questions" on their website for ways to contact them. I had a great response with the customer service. I believe I called them first and talked to a person right away. Then I emailed my receipt to them to verify when I bought the sharpener. They were probably the easiest company that I have dealt with in a long time!

The available chip resetter works just fine on either these cartridges or the black OEM cartridges. The OEM variety can be refilled successfully, but it's working blind until they overflow. I can tell you how if you're stuck.
