Printheads can't suck up ink after DAMPER change- PLEASE HELP!!

[reklamdizains]

Hi!
Having problem with ink suction on printheads after damper change! 2 printheads working properly, 2 can't suck ink- many lines missing in nozzle check..
What to do? I searched google for that, many have problems with that, but no answers at all..
BTW, I'm having Epson 9400.

PLEASE HELP!!

i'd suspect either the damper isn't seated, the manifold is cracked, or the fittings to the damper are askew and leaking vacuum.

my money is on a cracked manifold.
very easy to do so when lifting the damper off the printhead manifold- the black cap on printhead/controller chip that has the nipples the insert into the damper. If the nipple is bent too-far by "tipping" the damper, even the slightest, and it can crack and eliminate the ability to draw ink through the line/printhead.
