Run the nozzle cleaning process again

I had this problem when I thought I would save money by using compatible cartridges. On reverting to genuine cartridges I have had no problems

I'm with Hopkirk on this one.

I've had printer problems where it has been necessary to run the head cleaning utility 6 to 8 times in order to get the colour problems sorted out. (That costs a fortune in ink, which is really annoying, but it's still a great feeling when it finally works!)

I never used refilled inks, as the shops I went to said Epsom inks were so cheap it wasn't worth their while doing them. Indeed that was the reason I bought an Epsom printer, I had been told their inks were much cheaper than my Lexmark printer. The Epsom compatible inks sold by Tesco work fine and I have never had any issues with my SX215.

Epson ink cheap? You are having a laugh.

I'm with Hopkirk on that comment!
Epson branded inks are one of the most expensive around. They are very good quality but a multi-pack(4cartridges) for mine now cost more than I paid for the printer about 15 months ago. I use compatibles from Cartridge World now.

But SpikeyBush is talking about inks compatible with a town in Surrey :)

Check your printer settings. I have an Epson Stylus Photo RX640 all-in-one machine, and I had the same problem when I copied black-and-white photo prints on to photo paper. They had a blue tint. The default setting on my printer is "Color" and "Text", so the machine was trying to print in colour from a b/w original. So I changed the "Color" setting to "B&W" and the "Text" setting to "Photo" and I got properly black-and-white copies.

i get cheap inks for £2-3 off amazon...and never have any problems. the sx125 is the best cheap printer i've ever bought! but...if you buy a cheap one for photo's etc. maybe they don't work so well?

No, I can't afford to print at home. Quality inks and paper are far too expensive and still don't get close to the quality from professional photo labs like for example http://printing-1.co.uk/ and some others.
