Refilling tips for Epson cartridges:
Every Cartridge:
All Epson cartridges are basically the same: plastic shells
with foam inside, and a rubber seal (or nozzle) as the ink
exit port. Likewise, all Epson problems are basically the
same: imperfect printing or no printing. Epson cartridges
are notoriously bad for not "accepting" the ink
into the foam, and as a result the best thing you can do is
be patient. If at all possible, fill the cartridge, wait an
hour, and come back and make sure you can't get any more ink
into it. Let it sit over night if you can. After you have
let it set for long enough, the foam and ink "equalize"
the ink is properly absorbed, but it's not running out. Put
it in and run a few cleaning cycles.
The Epson ink jet cartridges are the most difficult to refill.
Epson did a good job in discouraging refillers. And, unlike
Canon, the user cannot replace the built-in printhead.
There are two issues involved:
• Air-Entrapment- especially when refilling the cartridges
• Nozzle Clogging- ink dries on the surface or debris
gets into the printhead and requires an expensive repair or
head replacement. (we can repair it!)
