You have to use a certain version of software with it, the one it came with. Atoos, I can look and see what version I have later. If you’re running the correct software, it should work. when I used the wrong software it wouldn’t print or it would be very messed up.

The P6000 required the pressure for the white ink tank. Personally I used an air pump and pressure limit switch, but you could just extend and use the OEM pump/line as well. I used an external system because I didn’t want to add extra wear and tear on the OEM Epson parts.

Sounds like you cleaned the waste ink absorbers area. what are you using your p400 for?

F2000/f2100 does not have this feature via damper. It recirculates via damper manifold. Dampers are not recirculated while it allows only ink line to recirculate, bypassing dampers.

I have one of these. Is it dual xp600?

P5000 has a waste tank. WicReset only supports printers without a user replaceable waste tank. the p5000 utility software doesn’t reset the waste tank, you need (2) waste tanks and one waste tank chip resetter. Alternate the waste tanks and you’ll be good to go. alternatively you could just purchase waste tanks as you need them.

I believe you could do this with spot color, it's entirely possible but I do not know how to do it. Cadlink may or may not be of help. I know I have done it multiple times, my problem was I wanted white though and couldn't get it under those colors.

I have went through every adjustment in the software and nothing changes enough, beyond its adjustment limit. the feed is calibrated, I can make all of the alignments perfect. When I print with it from Cadlink-It starts printing the color layer about an inch too early. what am I missing?

I have experience with the Senyang dual xp600 and hoson 4 head i3200. the hoson software is so much easier.

Replace the damper, it’s leaky.

Correct, if they are leaky it’ll do that.

Check your dampers, make sure they seal at the head well and not leaky. Leaky dampers can cause this.

Sounds like a software/artwork issue.

You just need to find the Epson P5000 adjustment program, some call it the service program.

I use USB, to the computer. You block/remove Epson software via firewall. the idea is to prevent the printer from connecting to Epson servers and pushing an update. I don’t know about the exact situation for this model at this time but when they were released and shortly after non-OEM support comes along and you require that to use it. Back then, an update could be done overnight without you knowing and it disable the machine/ make it not work with that aftermarket accessory. being an older machine, maybe they are not releasing updates for it anymore, maybe they are. anytime you use aftermarket anything, chips, waste tank, resetters, firmware, etc- you do not want an update to automatically occur without your permission, as it could cause you a huge PITA at the least, or at the most render the machine 100% unusable for you and your aftermarket use. you don’t have to, but when connected to WiFi there isn’t anything stopping it from just updating when they send it (OTA update). Via USB, and firewall blocked software, you have no concerns.
