I changed the three color cartridges in my Epson Stylus CX3650 Printer, afterwards it would not print color ?

It would not print color after changing those three cartridges?

1. Maybe you should check that when you print, you have it set to "Color" and not "Black & White".
2. Don´t take offense, but it has happened many different times ' Check to see if the little plastic protective sheet has been pulled off of the ink jet heads. Many people do it and I have been out to many service calls where it is something as simple or on occasion stupid, they forgot to plug it in, as that.
3. did you pull the tape of the cartriges?
4. Epsons have the print head built into the machine, so if your colors weren't working b4 then you may have a clogged print head, if this is the case then you can try to clean the print head with a little rubbing alcohol on the end of a Qtip. If that doesn't work the you can take it to someone to repair it, but it would probably be cheaper just to go out and get a new machine. Epsons have this problem all the time and so if you do end up needing to get a new one I would recommend a HP because they have far better quality then any othe manufacture, both on paper and in relability
5. And let me guess, you've had your Epson printer for around 1 year correct? It's the same story with Epson printers. They are great printers for about 1 year. Then they break down. You will be unable to fix your printer. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Once the printheads are clogged in an Epson, the printer is done for. Next time I'd buy an HP or a Canon. Their machines are a lot more reliable according to PC Magazaine.
