hi was wondering how many print heads in epson dx4000 (3 in 1) printer? is there a separate one for each colour? my printer can print in colour at minute but barely any black ink comes out when i try to print on page just a slight smudge at the top is all.
I shake the cartridges to make sure if the ink isn't dried out and can hear the liquid flowing freely around the cartridge.
It can smudge my finger. they are inkjet compatible cartridges.
I made sure it wasn't on draft mode and was on text mode.
my fear is that perhaps a black print head could be gone.
any ideas/tips?

Didn't know myself but I looked around:

The black cartridge has 90 nozzle heads. The colour cartridges each have 29 nozzle heads.

So they are separate (?!)
Hope it points you in a right direction.
