Epson 3800 Refurbs Printers - Ink Charging Problem


If you are having problems setting up a refurbished Epson 3800 printer, read the following about the experience I had.

Upon opening the printer and putting all the inks in, and powering the printer up, the normal ink charging cycles did not start (I've set up a few of these printers brand new). The front of the 3800 will say that the printer has 100% of ink (all the ink bars will be full). When you charge a new Epson Stylus 3800, it leaves you with about 70% in the cartridges (the remainder mostly goes in the lines between the cartridges and the printer head.

Epson tests all the refurbished 3800's before they send them out, so they already charged the lines (think of this a gift of about $100 of ink).

The first print you should do once you open the printer is a nozzle check. If they are all full and there is 8 different colors of them (see above image) then you have passed the first test. You should change black inks on the front of the Epson 3800 at this point. If you were on Photo Black, switch it to Matte Black Ink, or vice-versa. Now run the nozzle check again. If it looks good, you should be good to go.

I had to do 2 power cleans (one on both black settings) before the nozzles all began firing. It took one last one and it has worked perfectly since. Any questions or need help? Contact me or leave a comment below.
