There is no blue ink. I suggest you buy a complete new set and put it in and only use Epson inks. And throw all the old boxes of cartridges away. If it does not work buy a new printer. I have a SX515W A4 scanner-printer (A4) which gives excellent results. It was only 80 GBP. My experience with my previous printers is that they do not tolerate messing with or refilled cartridges.

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.
