install a brand new set of Aftermarket cartridges or a set of Epson
carts that still have life (ink) in them. The Aftermarket carts have
to be un-punctured, new ones. If you use your Epson carts, they can
not be a refill of the originals. Brand new Epson carts work the best.
This step is very important, do not skip this step.
 
2. 	Use the new cartridges to bring your printer nozzles back. Run
cleaning cycles in groups of 3. Check nozzles before and after each
cleaning. Stop if you get a perfect nozzle pattern. After 3 cleanings,
print a copy of the PURGE4 or PURGE6 image. Then, you can do 3 more if
needed. If after 9 or 12 cleaning cycles, and your printer is still
not working properly, give it an overnight rest. Many times, the
nozzles will recover on their own after an overnight waiting period.

Above is a cut & paste from the MIS site. Do it, it almost always
works. One section is worth repeating: Brand new Epson carts work the
best. This step is very important, do not skip this step.

If only the black is clogged, just put an Epson cart in there and
leave the others with UT2. 

If above doesn't work, THEN put a little bit of windex on the waste
ink pad and let it sit overnight. "a little" is enough to moisten it,
not overflow it.
