While these essentially use modified tri-color carts, the carts aren't readily available like Canon does for their modified tri-color ink tank printers (or cheap enough you can just throw it away like Canon's ~$20 "printheads"). However, this does mean cleaning these things is viable. If you can remove the "printhead" and not make a mess, soaking the color "printhead" often fixes this issue. If you can't clean it, I did find it for [link|https://encompass.com/item/11829389/HP/M0H50-30003/|$23 from Encompass].

While these essentially use modified tri-color carts as "printheads", the carts aren't as readily available as Canon's modified tri-color design (they cost something like ~$20 with Canon). However, this does mean cleaning these things is viable and relatively easy. If you can remove the "printhead" and not make a mess, soaking the color "printhead" often fixes this issue.

The Epson ET series is a disaster when this occurs; you need to take half the printer apart, remove the "ink carriers", put something like a blue shop cloth under the printhead, rub the head with cleaner (to get rid of any dry ink on the head plate) and push cleaner through and then run a light cleaning cycle to get ink back in the head if you don't want to burn your waste ink pad up on the "sealed" ET models or replace a $20 consumable item. These have the disadvantage with photo printing due to the limits of CMYK vs CMYK+GY or CMYK+LC/LM or even Ultrachrome 10 (CMYK+PK/VM/LC/VLM/GY/LG/Violet) but it doesn't matter for home users, honestly; being able to service it is probably a bigger feature.
