I have a constant problem with my inks clogging & have to perform 5 or 6 cleanings every time I want to print a transfer. Is this normal?
Chances are, you might not be using your printer regularly enough to keep the inks from drying up in the print heads. To prevent this, turn your printer on by the manual switch (as opposed to a switch on the wall or a surge suppressor) every day – even if you don’t plan to use it that day. Each time you do this, the printer performs a routine cleaning. This will help eliminate your problem.
Are the ink cartridges refillable
Epson does not recommend refilling ink cartridges. Refilled cartridges can cause print quality problems. (Not to mention, other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by Epson’s warranty).
