Ink Tube Flushing

If you still see white or dark lines or missing colors in your printouts, even after cleaning the print head several times, you can flush the ink tubes.

Flushing the ink tubes replaces all the ink inside the tubes, so flush the ink only if you cannot improve print quality by cleaning the print head several times.

Note: After flushing the ink tubes, you must turn off the product and wait at least 12 hours before printing again.

Caution:

Flushing the ink tubes consumes a lot of ink. Before flushing the ink tubes, make sure there is enough ink in the ink tanks. If necessary, refill the ink tanks before flushing the ink tubes.

Flushing the ink tubes affects the service life of the ink pads by causing them to reach their capacity sooner. When you see an error message indicating that an ink pad is nearing the end of its service life, the product stops printing and you must contact Epson for support.
