Title: Possible to charge/fill single inkline in P10,000/20,000?
Post by: narikin on February 26, 2022, 02:47:20 pm

Due to a faulty cartridge - thank you Epson $220 for poor QC - I have a dry LM inkline on my P20000.
New cart arrives tomorrow, but is there any way to re-charge that single inkline, like you do when the machine is new on all lines?

I'd rather not waste any more ink that I have already getting to the source of the problem. Sigh!

thanks!

my 'guess' is the closest you could get is putting a syringe on the line, at the printer end and pulling in through, until some ink entered the syringe.

(I didn't say it was pretty)

As for the Printer Control Panel, I wouldn't bet on it.

Maybe found an answer.

Installed the Epson service maintenance program* on my laptop, and that seems to have individual channel charge option.
haven't used it yet, new ink not here, but - hopefully this will do it.
sharing this in case others have same question.
