New Ink Cart. now Won't Print Black

I have an Epson Stylus C80. The black ink ran out and my
son replaced it with a new Epson T0321 cartridge. The
printer printed a few more pages then stopped any black
printing. Color still works fine. I have removed and
reseated the black cartridge and the the printer seems to
go through a "charging period" but still no black
printer. I have tried letting it print many pages hoping
it will clear up. The printer operates just like it
thinks all is well. The ink monitor also shows full. Can
new cartridges be bad or did my son's possibly incorrect
replacement technique affect it? Help, Ray

Did you run an alignment cycle after the installation?

Yes, it sure can. Not often, but it does happen.

I replaced the black ink cartridge and now have black
text printing. Guess I had that one rare defective
cartridge. Of course,now my color ink is low from all the
messing around. Thanks for your inputs, Ray.

Excellent news Ray! Hope you remember to send the defective cartridge back
to the manufacturers... you deserve a free replacement one!
