## **2. Common Causes of No Color Printing**

When your Epson ET-2760 stops printing color, it’s usually due to one or more of the following:

### ✔ **Empty or Low Color Ink Levels**

Even if one color is low, color printing can fail.

### ✔ **Clogged Printhead Nozzles**

Ink can dry and block the nozzles, especially if not used regularly.

### ✔ **Incorrect Printer Settings**

Your computer or printer may be set to print in grayscale/black-only mode.

### ✔ **Driver or Software Issues**

Corrupt drivers or outdated software can interfere with color printing.

### ✔ **Printhead Misalignment**

Improper alignment can affect color accuracy and output.

### ✔ **Air Bubbles in Ink Lines**

Refilling without proper technique can introduce air.

### ✔ **Hardware Damage**

In rare cases, the printhead or circuitry may be damaged.

## **3. Step-by-Step Troubleshooting**

Follow these steps in order until color printing is restored.

**Call Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571 for Expert Help**

### **A. Check Ink Levels**

The most common reason for missing color printing is low or empty color ink.

#### **How to Check Ink Levels on Epson ET-2760**

1. Turn on the printer and check the **EcoTank ink tanks** on the front.
2. Look at the **ink level windows**:

* **Yellow**
* **Magenta**
* **Cyan**

#### **What to Do**

* If **any tank is low or empty**, refill with **genuine Epson ink**.
* Avoid mixing brands or non-OEM inks — they can cause clogging.

> **Pro Tip:** Use the ink bottles designed for ET-2760 — they’re keyed to prevent incorrect placement.

**Call Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571 for Expert Help**

### **B. Run the Printer’s Head Cleaning Utility**

Even with ink in the tanks, dried ink can clog the printhead.

#### **Windows**

1. Open the **Control Panel** > **Devices and Printers**
2. Right-click your Epson printer > **Printing Preferences**
3. Go to the **Maintenance** tab
4. Click **Head Cleaning**

#### **Mac**

1. Go to **System Preferences**
2. Select **Printers & Scanners**
3. Choose your Epson printer
4. Click **Options & Supplies** > **Utility**
5. Select **Head Cleaning**

Let the cleaning finish, then **print a test page**.

**Call Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571 for Expert Help**

### **C. Print a Nozzle Check Pattern**

This helps you see which colors are missing or distorted.

#### **How It Works**

The printer prints a pattern with color bars. Each should be solid and unbroken.

#### **What to Look For**

* Broken lines or missing segments mean a clog.
* Missing colors indicate specific color issues (e.g., Yellow bar missing = yellow clog).

If the pattern is bad, repeat head cleaning — but no more than **three times** in one session (excessive cleaning wastes ink).

### **D. Manual Printhead Cleaning (If Needed)**

If software cleaning fails, manual cleaning may help.

⚠ **Warning:** Manual cleaning is delicate and should be done carefully.

#### **Steps**

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the printer cover.
3. Identify the printhead carriage.
4. Remove ink cartridges (if applicable).
5. Dampen a lint-free cloth with **distilled water**.
6. Gently wipe the printhead surface.
7. Reinstall and run a test print.

## **5. Common Questions (FAQs)**

### **Q: Why is only one color missing?**

If just one color is missing (e.g., yellow), the nozzle for that ink is likely clogged or the ink tank is empty.

**Call Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571 for Expert Help**

### **Q: Does color printing use more ink?**

Yes. Color documents use a mix of cyan, magenta, and yellow. Even small color areas can consume ink.

**Call Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571 for Expert Help**

### **Q: Is third-party ink a problem?**

Non-genuine inks can clog printheads and cause inconsistent output. We recommend genuine Epson ink for reliability.

**Call Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571 for Expert Help**

### **Q: My prints look faded — is that a color issue?**

Faded prints can come from low ink, clogs, or incorrect print settings (e.g., “Draft Mode”).

**Call Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571 for Expert Help**

### **Q: How often should I print to avoid clogs?**

Print something in color at least once a week to keep ink flowing.
