My epson stylus cx8400 won't print in black, just the other 3 colors. I've tried replacing the cart, doing 3 nozzle cleaning cycles, and physically cleaning the cartridge and where it meets up with the nozzle (just what is accessable when you take out the cartridge). Is there any way to clean any more or any other reason why the printer won't print black?

Problem Solved!!!!
I bought the special cleaning cartridge as suggested and it worked very well. My RX620 is working like new!
Thanks!

remove the cartridge close the printer, then again turn on printer and put the cartridge back effectively..

Don't use nozzles clean function, besides ink consuming it can cause damages that cannot be fixed: black lines on the back side of the page that will be permanent. Instead put two photo paper together (2x260 gr) and push the two papers together into the printer while printing a motive including many colors. Do so a couple of times and the clogg usually disappears. Good luck! jonk

If you have carried out 4 to 5 head cleans, waited about 8 hours and done another 3 or head cleans doing nozzle checks after each clean (as recommended by the manual) and there is still no improvement then you will need a third party head cleaning solution such as this one:

Other makes & brands are available just google "inkjet head cleaning solution" Hope this helps.
