Digital BW, The Print

Ken,

probably best to get new empty carts (or prefilled if available).

With the printer on, take each cart out, then turn power off.
After a minute turn power on, install new carts.
The printer goes through "initial fill" and charges the lines.
You may still need to print a few sheets with ink from all nozzles to
purge any remaining ink but this is less arduous.

I am writing this from memory - I hope someone can correct me
if I missed a step.

It may be a good idea for you to get not only the manual but the
service manual as well (which used to be available before Epson forbid
their circulation). Eventually the printer will need to be reset when
it thinks the drain pads are full and stops working.

Tip: what appears as a "clog" or banding may or may not be due to ink
issues alone. Anything from how each cart attaches to the ink nipple
to the dampers and the heads themselves may have something to do with
it.
