Maintenance

Ink Refilling

When an ink tank runs low, refill it promptly to avoid print quality issues. Use only genuine Epson ink bottles designed for your EcoTank model. Refer to the "Setup Guide" section for detailed ink refilling instructions.

Nozzle Check

Before performing a print head cleaning, it is recommended to run a nozzle check to diagnose which colors are affected. This also helps conserve ink.
