3. **Air bubbles in the ink lines**

## Step 1: Check Ink Levels in the EcoTank
The Epson ET-2720 uses refillable ink tanks instead of cartridges. If one color tank is empty or too low, that color won’t print.
### What to Do:
1. On your computer, open **Epson Status Monitor**.
2. Check Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black ink levels.
3. If any color is low or empty:
* Refill the tank using genuine Epson ink.
* Make sure the cap is closed tightly after refilling.
⚠️ **Important Tip:**
Never let the ink tanks run completely dry. This can introduce air into the ink lines, which causes color printing problems.

## Step 2: Run a Nozzle Check
A clogged printhead is the #1 reason Epson printers stop printing color.
### How to Run a Nozzle Check:
1. On Windows:
* Go to **Control Panel > Devices and Printers**
* Right-click your Epson ET-2720 → **Printing Preferences**
* Click **Maintenance > Nozzle Check**
2. On Mac:
* Open **System Settings > Printers & Scanners**
* Select Epson ET-2720 → **Options & Supplies > Utility**
* Click **Nozzle Check**
Print the test page and examine the pattern:
* Missing lines = clogged nozzles.

If the nozzle check shows gaps or missing colors, clean the printhead.
### How to Clean Printhead:
1. Go to **Maintenance > Head Cleaning**
2. Start the cleaning cycle.
3. Wait for it to finish.
4. Print another nozzle check.
🔁 Repeat up to **2–3 times** if needed.

Set to **High** or **Standard**, not Draft.
* **Paper Type**:
