Epson is one of the most renowned manufacturers of printer as well as its accessories. With time, the price of printing accessories like ink and cartridges are growing up. In such a scenario, nothing can be better than replacing the old Epson ink cartridge of a printer at home.

Here are 20 easy steps to replace the existing cartridge with a new one –

1.       The printer should be switched on before the replacement process starts.

2.       Next, open the printer cover after the paper output tray is made low.

3.       Once the ink symbol button is pressed, the print head would move the ink cartridge to be replaced. There are some printers in which the power light blinks when the print head stops at the empty ink cartridge.

4.       Remember not to hold the ink button for more than 3 seconds. Otherwise, a head cleaning cycle might be initiated.

5.       The print head should never be moved manually or forced to move. This might result in permanent damage.

6.       Once the print head indicates the empty cartridge, remove it by pitching both ends gently.

7.       It would be better to dispose the empty cartridge by taking it to a nearby recycling center.

8.       Make sure that there is no ink on the hands. If there is ink on hands, wash it immediately.

9.       Open the new cartridge box, remove the ink cartridge and shake it well. Then, remove it from the bag. If it is shaken after being removed from the bag, the Epson ink cartridge might leak.

10.    Next, place the cartridge into the holder. A ‘click’ sound will indicate that it has been placed appropriately.

11.    Make sure that the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge remain unaffected.

12.    The copper chip on top of the cartridge should be taken care of. This might affect the recognition process of the cartridge.

13.    If there is no new cartridge and the current cartridge is running out of ink, it is better to leave it within the printer to save it from getting affected.

14.    The color identification is done with the help of the color mark on the cartridge.

15.    Make sure to put back the cover once the replacement process finishes.

16.    Next, the ink button should be pressed for a while to charge the ink.

17.    Experts suggest that a head cleaning process is mandatory after every replacement process.

18.    The head cleaning procedure can be done either manually or from the computer itself.

19.    As said before, the head cleaning process would start if the ink button is pressed for more than 3 seconds.

20.    Apart from that, one can follow Printers > Properties > Maintenance > Head Cleaning from the computer to execute the process automatically.

Therefore, with the whole replacement process in details, one would never need to call an expert every time to replace the ink cartridge efficiently. However, make sure to buy the Epson ink cartridge from an authentic online store to save time and money and also get the genuine product.
