    Default Printer problem with CISS

    Hoping others will share their experiences about CISS trouble to see if I can fix my problem.

    I always use Epson printers. I've had plenty of experience with other brands and will always recommend Epson as the most reliable and for print quality.

    I had an Epson R350 for my photography prints, that I bought a CISS kit for.
    It worked perfectly until the printer died.

    I then bought an Epson 1430 A3 printer. A fantastic 6 cartridge printer highly recommended by the experts.
    When the original cartridges ran out 6 months ago, I purchase a CISS kit for it from the same supplier (different kit), but have had nothing but trouble with it.
    First off, it printed colours no where near the original image. I think I have that sorted out now that the supplier sent me a ICC profile but there's more.
    The ink keeps draining back to the tanks, which means a lot of head cleaning to get it going again.
    The supplier is not too keen to help any longer.
    I have tried sitting the tanks at many different heights relative to the printer.

    I reckon the tanks should have a tiny check valve for each colour.

    This is one reason why I gave up on Inkjets and have gone to colour Laser printers. I don't often print photos, so I cannot make any comments as to suitability for high quality photo prints.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Yes I can understand that, especially if you owned a Canon or Lexmark, however this time it's the CISS that's at fault, not the printer.
