Hi
I have this problem where the colour prints fine but the black doesn't print or prints very faintly.
I have an xp-412 printer and the only way I found to get round this was to go to the properties page(after selecting print) and selecting the advanced tab and unticking the box marked 'High Speed'.
The document prints slower but at least it prints the whole thing including any black ink. I don't know why this happens. It may be that the high speed setting is not good for compatible black cartridges.
Maybe an expert can enlighten us.
Anyhow give it a try.
incidentally, I use the same cartridges in my epson xp-215 with no print issues at all - weird isn't it.
