What kind of Epson do you have? I have a 3000 and this won't work on them because you can't get to the ink feeding system, but I am told that on some of the other Epsons you can inject 90% isopropyl alcohol in the ink channels and it will clear up just about anything. Luckily I have an Epson tech locally that has been very helpful. Good luck with the problem. I can relate. I still don't have my system operating the way I want on the color inks after a month...but I think I am close.
