Cleaning the Print Head
If print quality has declined and the nozzle check indicates

If you do not use your all-in-one often, it is a good idea to print a few
pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

cartridge is low or expended by displaying a message on its
display screen or your computer.

Replacing Ink Cartridges
Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You
must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old
ones. Use the following part numbers when you order or
purchase new ink cartridges:
Ink color Part number
Black 69 or 68 (High Capacity)
Cyan 69
Magenta 69
Yellow 69
Note:
We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not
refill them. The use of other products may affect your print quality
and could result in printer damage.
Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings,
paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a
small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “replace
cartridge” indicator comes on. The printer ships with full cartridges
and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for charging the
printer.
For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of
opening the package.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If you bring them inside
from out in the cold, allow them to warm up to room temperature
for at least 3 hours before using them.
Caution:
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the
ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
Leave the expended cartridge(s) installed until you have obtained a
replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry
out.
