Epson 777 problem

[MMan]

I have an Epson 777 which has been fine for years.

Since I replaced the black cartridge a week ago, the black has been
printing badly. In fact, it's almost invisible after sitting
overnight unless I run the head-cleaning operation *twice*. At that
point it's almost good, just a little faded. But bad again the next
day.

The other colors are fine.

Is it my printer or perhaps a bad cartridge? How can I tell?

I don't have any advice-just a comment.
You must be good to your printers...I went through my 777 and C80. And
now have a R340.
I really disliked the 777...noisy and paper-feed problems.

How old is the cartridge? and what manufacturer. It sounds like it is one
that has been sitting around for years. Get a fresh one.

I agree, most possible it's the cartridge.

If you do make the request, please include the information in your
