If repairs are needed, it is often cheaper to buy a new printer, as printer repair often costs more than what new printers cost.Sometimes it happens to us that we leave our Epson printer without using it for a while and when we want to use it again it does not work as we expect. This happens because the ink that is accumulated between the ink ducts dries , in addition to the fact that the head (responsible for throwing the ink when printing) is filled with it and the same process happens, therefore the ink that remains stored there prevents our printer from performing its activity properly. If the recommendations above do not resolve the issue, we suggest you contact your printer manufacturer. If any indication lights are flashing, refer to your printer's documentation or manufacturer's website for additional information.If you are installing an ink cartridge not authorized by your printer's manufacturer (an aftermarket cartridge), it may not be compatible.Verify no software errors are occurring and try printing a test page.Consult your printer's documentation to get instructions for your specific model or check the manufacturer's website for help. Try resetting the ink cartridge counter.Perform a head cleaning on the printer, if available.If a lever is moved from its original position to allow for installation of ink cartridges, ensure it is returned to its original position.

Some cartridges snap in place, and if they are not inserted fully, the printer won't print anything. Verify the ink cartridge(s) is inserted properly.Verify the plastic tab keeping the ink from dispersing or leaking out is not still attached to the cartridge.Below are general suggestions to help determine the cause and, in some cases, solve the problem.

This issue may occur for several reasons.
