Bezutnik 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 Hi Guys; I did the Chipless Firmware solution for my Epson WF-C5790 and printed like 300 of the same page by the end of the last 20 pages colors start to fade. Normal: https://ibb.co/YfnN98w Broken: https://ibb.co/4tp2Lg4 I did 4 nozzle cleaning also try replacing original cartridges and did 2 more which filled my maintenance box. Nozzle Cleaning Report: https://ibb.co/MCkHC1j It used to print yellow at the end of the 4th cleaning cycle both Y and C gone... My Questions: 1- Since there is no manual way to clean nozzle is this the air bubble error mentioned in this forum post? Should i try the suggested solution? 2- Regarding Maintenance Box i read that it’s life span is about 50k prints. My printer ask it to be replaced... Is this normal? I already order spare but is there a software solution... It still seems pretty white inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bezutnik 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 Hi John; 1-) Should i purchase and use the inkcharge function: https://www.2manuals.com/product_info.php?products_id=1909 on WF-C5790 Print Head is closed there are no cartridges. So i don’t know how to apply above solution. How can i make sure it’s air bubble problem to printhead? 2-) For Waste Ink i maybe did 10 nozzle cleaning is this normal? Seems like the only way is to replace it right? WIC software won’t work for my model of WF-C5790 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John_Admin 390 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 1. Yes you can use WF-C5790 Adjustment Program for unclogging printhead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bezutnik 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 Thanks John; I am going to purchase the software now, i do have few more questions. 1- Can you confirm that my problem can be identified as the air bubble to printhead. If not based on your expertise what might be my solution on this brand new printer. 2- Maintenance Box needs to be replaced right? There is no workaround? Because even with the software to fix the ink problem i can’t use the printer without replacing the box due to touch screen error.

Bezutnik 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 @John_Admin; Purchase the software getting this error Other I/F is selected. Is this related to maintenance box... As per my previous question is there a way to fix this without replacing the part? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wic.support 31 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 Good day. Please, post screenshot with the error and selected function clearly visible. I/F stands for interface, check that USB connection is actually enabled in the printer settings (see User Manual for details). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bezutnik 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2020 Hi @wic.support; Solved the errors after inserting a new maintenance box. But it right away filled up %70 of the box on the ink charge. Y is partially back printing C still blackish color. I will get another box tomorrow the one i have is full now after cleaning on the top of the ink charge. I hope this will be a solution. Any tips or should i just do the ink charge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
