Hello, there is still some ink in a refillable cartridge (pink one), but it can't print out, I cleaned the spray head twice, but it didn't work.

I had the same problem with my black cartridges. I couldn't get the Epson cartridges to work. Contact InkOwl technical support at 1-888-446-5695.

I purchased the same to products. You must break the printer to attach the ink system to the printer. I could not get it to work the instruction were quite poor. I then ordered empty refillable cartridges from the ink filling station and ink. these work great you just pull out a plug fill the cartridge with ink and put it back into the printer. You can use the ink in the ink system to fill the cartridges. Hope this helps.

Oh my I had the opposite problem! I was getting the ink system failure message before which made me consider a new printhead. I didn't know Amazon had them so I've ordered a new printer. Since it didn't help you maybe it wouldn't work for me. The reason for my problem-using remanufactured non OEM ink, the black cartridge was leaky. I thought it would be alright after wiping off and I did print some pgs. The problem was when I tried again about a month later..that's when I got the "ink system failure" msg and nothing I did took it away!

Sounds daft but have you pulled the tab off the new cartridge properly? Theres sometimes a clear film over where the ink comes out for stopping it drying out whilst on the shelf. Try print head alignment through the maintenence function

Very likely the print head is dried up. Sometimes a drop of water may make it work but no guarantee ... pls try on your own.

Same thing happened to us, and we had to replace the printer. We changed the ink out for first party manufactured cartridges, and it still didn't work. We were lucky they covered it under warranty, but it still doesn't make sense as to why it happened. Good luck.

The printer heads may need to be cleaned. Go to printer >>>touch the picture of the wrench >>>>tools >>>clean cartridges.

If the printer recognizes that the cartridge is installed it may be that the ink jet nozzels are clogged up. Go into the maintenance menu of your printer and do a deep-cleaning of the print heads. Also press the reset/stop button on the printer for 10-12 seconds. If this doesn't work, the cartridge may not have gotten completely refilled or the ink they used to refill it is of inferior quality and is drying out. There is no way to determine exactly what is causing the problem other than taking the cartridge apart in a lab enviroment........

Mine kept printing for awhile after I got the "replace ink" message. Also, it is my understanding that the ink cartridges that come with the printer are generally sample cartidges and do not contain as much ink as the full, replacement cartridges. While that seems kind of crummy, I think most companies that supply cartridges with the newprinter are doing that. When I was shopping for this printer, I was suprised to find that many companies have stopped including any ink with their new printers!!

try running a print head clean with a new cartridge, otherwise you may need a new print head

The clear cartridge has a two part tank with the front part holding the liquid ink and the back part filled with fiber (similar to cotton balls). The printer will stop when the liquid part is empty and this is very visible. The back part will still be filled to the top with brightly colored fiber and this seems to annoy some people.

I'm not sure . That never happen to me . Ran out of black ink and was able to still print in color. But not sure if it works the other way around.

try taking the cartridge out of the printer and wipe the edge where the ink comes out with a damp tissue to get the ink flowing again; I have this problem with the color cartridge

I received paperwork in my shipment that stated your printer will give you an "empty" notification, because the little computer chip on each cartridge will not work correctly after being remanufactured. There were also instructions on how to bypass or ignore the "ink level warning" on the printer if that warning doesn't allow the printer to print. Give it a try printing a sample page or two. My replacement cartridges have been working just fine. Good luck!

I had the same issue with one of the cartridges. I assume it's the chance one takes with super cheap ink. I did order more and if it has a problem again, I'll just pony up for the full-priced stuff.

When I bought my pen it came with a refillable cartridge. Just buy a bottle of ink and you should be good to go. Though I will say that the refillable cartridge that came with it did not hold up very long. It lost the seal and wouldn't hole any ink.
