  • Wasn't printing and you can see a few faint ink spots but no full color.
    after installing new ink and trying again it still doesn't work, what to try next is to clean the part that the ink cartridges are installed into.

    Someone threw out their Epson xp320. I picked it up and it was in good shape. Didn't understand why they threw it out. I tried to print something and found out why. Found this video. Cleaned it up and now works like brand new. Thank you for doing this video.

    Thank you so much. We thought our printer had died. We replaced the ink, which didn't work. Then I watched you video in desperation and it worked. I had to run the 'clean ink heads' a few times before it worked. Thank you!

    Even when the ink cartridge was full, my Epson printer would frequently fail to print. I would change the cartridge and followed the cleaning recommendations, but the issue would still exist. I was ready to buy a new printer, when I found your video. The solution was so simple and it actually works. My printer is now working. Thank you for making this video.

    If you don't have the alcohol cleaner, just take out all the cartridges and fill the tray with disinfectant gel as has it in and get some kitchen towels then dab it all out. That's even easier. Cleans the whole thing out and you'll grab all the dry ink trust me.

    Epson like HP are crooks, the printers are cheap to buy but they make their profit on the ink, it's a con. Non genuine ink cartridges are very hit and miss. You can have a full non genuine cartridge, yet the printer tells you to replace it thanks to their little electronic chips on the cartridge, it's daylight robbery. If your printer jet is blocked and you keep trying to print and your not using any ink or very little, the clever printer cant tell how much ink is in the cartridge, it senses how many times you've requested a print and alters your ink levels accordingly, so you can have a full cartridge yet the damn printer will say the cartridge is empty.
