Actually that one thing I didn't try but I did do nozzle checks and prints
of test cart
But in the end this is what happened.
I found out why Epson replaced the blue ink in the R-1900. I replaced
the blue cartridge to be sure it wasn't the ink and I blanked out an area of the
background of the image so I wouldn't use up so much black ink. I realized when
looking at the blank white area this morning that it was somewhat purple.
I reinstalled the print drivers
I started running tests on a blank file on 4 x 6" papers and they all come
out purplish.
I tried taping up the blue cart air holes and that did no good. I finally
went thru the garbage to get all the boxes of the ink carts I replace over the
last few days. All said 2012 except the blue, it said 2009. I replaced the blue
cart again with a blue cart dated 2012 and the 4 x 6" started coming out
blank with only the gloss coating. I printed the original picture again and it
had magenta instead of purplish color. I don't understand why the printer put
out blue ink at all on the blank white files. My conclusion about the blue ink
is that it is seldom used and the ink get old and doesn't get replaced and goes
bad. Why the blue nozzles fire when the file is blank makes no
sense.
