Why is my printer trying to print, but no ink is coming out?
Reasons and Solutions:
1. Valves are closed
**Set valves to draw ink.
2. Print head is not primed
**Prime print head by running a few head cleaning cycles using the Ink button on the control panel.
3. Damper has come loose causing a lose of pressure in the ink system
**Reseat damper.
4. Capping station has become severely dirty or clogged
**Clean the capping station.
Prevention: Follow suggested maintenance routine.
5. Print head is severely clogged

Prevention: Run head cleanings on days that the printer is not printing. For periods longer then a week, flush ink out of system using distilled water. Run cleaning solution through the system and leave the cleaning solution in the system until you need to print again.
