If anyone has any doubts, this video is exactly what you have to do to get the printer working again. Happened to our business printer and now it works again until the next time it happens. It’s cheaper alternative to taking into to epson for repair or buying another printer but don’t know how long it will last ❤ from 🇬🇧

Can't thank you enough for posting this video! Just completed the procedure and it was pretty simple. I found it a little difficult to find the clips to release the tank that holds the sponges. Tips for cleaning from my experience: Double glove your hands. (Read another user's comments about one set not protecting enough) Lots and lots of water is needed on low pressure otherwise the ink will splatter all over the place. Stainless steel sink is probably preferred if not make sure to wash one glover covered hand off and use that hand to spread water around so the ink is diluted and will not dry and stain. Keep the water running and you squeeze the sponge, do not rub it downward because this will rub off the outer white film. I don't know if this will affect the reuse of the same sponge. I have not tired resetting the printer yet. I will try to follow up with the reset and whether it was successful or not. Great printer and the ink lasts a really really long time!

I did this to my epson echo model 2650 and it works great. I bought a reset chip and have gotten 6 more months of printing (so far) and still going. The reset was $9.99. It was well worth it. Getting ready to clean old ones on an epson echo tank model 2550. I am sure it will work just as well. Good luck to all….well worth ten bucks to try before throwing it out that’s for sure!

Grazie mille! Simple and clear. So ridiculous that you should have to contact a service center and pay for something so simple. There should of course be an option in the software for the printer where you easily can reset the counter. (and spare pads to buy). How difficult can it be?

I wore black gloves that came with my hair color..... after washing and squeezing the pads under running water they came fairly clean. However, my right hand-once the gloves are removed is quite black, especially around the cuticles. Now I have to Google "How to get ink saturated hands clean" - what fun to go to church tomorrow and answer questions from my friends. LOL Should have double/tripled the gloves up.

I did NOT get a message saying e.g., my waste ink cartridge was full. Nevertheless, when I send paper thru I get a blank sheet. I have already done nozzle clean several times, so I took out the waste ink cartridge and cleaned the pads. Paper still comes out white. My question: do I have to buy the counter-reset software first? I hate to spend $10 if this is not the problem. Please someone: get back to me.

A blank page is not caused by the waste ink pads full. Probably the print-head is defective, if so a cleaning is useless. I think you have to change the print-head but it could be the main board too

How about, never buy an inkjet again! Ink printers really are a money pit. Buy a laserjet, preferably a black & white if you don't require color. But even a color laserjet works great. Put a laserjet in your garage for a year, take it out and it'll print just as it did a year prior. Try to do that with an inkjet for just 1 month.

In my past workplace we had mostly HP printers. Sometimes the brand new cartridges would not be recognised so we had to throw them away and occasionally we had to replace the printheads which was waste of money. When a printer broke, the company never ordered the same model probably because it was discontinued, so each office had a different model, cartridges and several additional brand new cartridges for the old model. What a mess! Fortunately for them, they replaced all the printers with Epson just before I quit. In fact, HP printers are cheaper to buy but more expensive in the long run. Epson are not perfect but generally better. My only complaint from the epson printer was the stop button which was on the touch screen instead of a independent physical one.
