Very strange!

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with colour printing, I recently replaced the
colour cartridge, continued printing everything was fine, after about a week
of general printing, it stopped printing colour again, there was no way it
could be empty.
I thought I would put another new cartridge in and now nothing will print at
all, incidentally the black is fine
Printer is an Epson 440 cartridges are Jet-tec which I've used for some
time.
Any thoughts?

Regards

beautiful portrait of my dog, and two days later the printer went
throught the motions and sounds of printing, but only blank paper came
out. I mixed up some ammonia water, 10 percent ammonia, I moved the
cartirdges out as if to replace them, but I pulled them out and
dripped some ammonia water into each cartridge. You'll need a little
pin the depress the valve where the ink comes out of and hold it while
you pour the water in. When you get a little into the cartridges
shake, shake, and shake them. Put them back in and run the head
cleaning utility. Then try printing. I had to add ammonia water 3
times before my printer finally started printing beautifully again. Of
course my printer is out of warranty now . If you still have a
warranty...LET THEM FIX IT!
