Digital BW, The Print

It could be a few things.

In my R220, the carts don't seat right.  I have to shim them with
folded up pieces of paper wedged between the cart and the back tab to
make the chip touch the printer properly- it might take a few tries to
get enough paper for the carts to be recognized.

You can try using a chip resetter on the carts it doesn't recognize.

If that fails you can also swap out chips for new ones or swap chips
off of Epson carts on to your refillable ones.

Good luck!
