The ink cartridge may be unsuitable:<\/strong> Things that don\u2019t suit a device hardly work well with it. That may explain why your printer isn\u2019t printing color. Black may be the most popular color for printer users, but printing in color is the real deal. If your ink cartridge is a remanufactured one, you may have made a big mistake.<\/p>\nEpson printers are made to work well with only genuine Epson ink cartridges. Their high price is a major income stream for the company, the same as it is for other printer makers. That’s why the more you update the printer software, the tighter the security features preventing you from using unapproved ink cartridges becomes. It\u2019s a game you can hardly win.<\/p>\n
The nozzles could be blocked:\u00a0<\/strong>Those tiny cone-shaped indents beneath the ink cartridges in your printer are what take ink to the printhead. They may be clogged. I\u2019m sure you can guess what they might be clogged with. If you picked dried ink, you\u2019re correct. Ink residue stays in the nozzles each time you finish printing. After many printing cycles, they dry and pile up in and sometimes on the nozzle. This ends up blocking the ink flow. There\u2019s nothing anyone can do to prevent it. But there is a thing or two you can do to remove it from the nozzle. Let\u2019s save that for later.<\/p>\nYour ink may be dried up:\u00a0<\/strong>If you haven\u2019t used your printer in a long while or you only use it occasionally, the ink in the cartridge may have dried up. Time and weather conditions affect the good old ink and cause it to dry up when you let it sit for too long. Many people have little or no patience. The same thing goes for your precious cyan, magenta, and yellow ink. You may also have opened the covering protecting the ink cartridge without inserting it into the printer. That can let air get into it and dry it out. Ink cartridges should either be in sealed bags or closed printers. Anything outside of that is trouble.<\/p>\nLow levels of ink:\u00a0<\/strong>Normally, your Epson printer will alert you to low ink levels. You\u2019ll get a warning on your computer that you\u2019re about to run out of ink in one cartridge or another. That gives you a heads up and allows you to fetch a new ink cartridge. But for some reason, that warning doesn\u2019t always work. When there is little or no colored ink available, your printer will not print colored documents and pictures. There\u2019s nothing to do but fix that situation. How do you do that in a way that addresses all the possible causes of the problem?<\/p>\n<\/span>Epson ET 2750 Not Printing Color: How to Fix It<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/span>1. Get new ink cartridges<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nBuying new ink cartridges can solve the problem unsuitable ones bring. No need to worry about whether you have good quality ink cartridge in your printer, so long as you get it from Epson. Remanufactured ink cartridges have no place in this step.<\/p>\n
Getting new, genuine ink cartridges also solves the problem of dried ink cartridges. We would expect that the ones you buy will be fresh, new, and sealed. Still, you\u2019ll need to be careful to keep them that way and not store any extra ink supplies for too long.<\/p>\n
<\/span>2. Turn off the printer and turn it on again<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nAnother thing you could try is to restart your printer. It may have only had a glitch that made it stop printing color. In that case, simply switching off and on again can resolve the issue. Think of it as a way of resetting your device and making it forget any mistakes it has made and how miserable it made you feel. Having a printer that doesn\u2019t print color can be annoying. But this one tip can get you out of that sad space in a heartbeat. Go ahead and try it.<\/p>\n
<\/span>3. Change your printer settings<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nPrinter settings are a big deal. They tell the printer what to print and how to print it. A quick look into your printer settings can change everything.<\/p>\n
Start by opening the printer software on your computer. Find the print dialog box and choose \u201cPrinter Settings\u201d. Click on the \u201cBasic settings\u201d tab. Under that section, you will see \u201cColor\u201d on the left and \u201cBlack\u201d on the right. The \u201cColor\u201d option should be selected if you want to print in color.<\/p>\n
Click on \u201cPrint\u201d at the bottom of the dialog box. That will start the test printing process and also save your settings. You should start getting the color pictures and documents at this point. If you don\u2019t, try the next step.<\/p>\n
<\/span>4. Clean the nozzles and ink cartridge<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTake out the ink cartridges and poke a pin into the tiny holes on them. Do it in a way that you remove any dried ink or other debris that may be in there. You are clearing the way for ink to flow out of the ink cartridges and into the nozzle, which will take it to the printhead. You may have to do it many times to get it all out.<\/p>\n
You should also clean the nozzles.\u00a0<\/strong>Do this: Take a little distilled water or cleaning liquid and pour it into a plastic syringe. Squeeze a few drops of it into the nozzles one after the other. This will wash away dried ink from them. Wipe any liquid that gets spilled in the process. Next, switch on the printer and reinsert the ink cartridges. The printer will prepare to accept the ink cartridges. As soon as it does that, test print 6-8 pages of any document. Your printer should begin printing normally.<\/p>\nIf for some reason none of this works, the best thing to do is contact your service center. They will give you further instructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

This is why we choose printers that can print in color. But all of that means nothing if your printer for some reason stops printing in color. This article will focus on how to solve that problem.
