• You need a syringe and ink cartage clean solution.
• Remove the ink cartages from your printer.
• Ensure the printer is powered off.
• You may need to add a small plastic pipe to the syringe to ensure that it can be connected to the print head nozzle. The print head nozzle is the part of the printer that connects to the print cartage.
• Fill the syringe with the cartage cleaning solution and inject the solution into each nozzle.
• Repeat the process after 10 minutes.
• Allow the solution 60 minutes to dissolve the blockage.
• Insert your print cartages and run the printhead cleaning program twice.
• Now do a printer test and see if the printer prints correctly.

On printers that were badly blocked I have repeated this process several times before I was successful. I have heard that many people have used window cleaning solution to clear there blocked heads. Remember you do this process at your own risk, if this process goes wrong your Epson warranty will not cover the repairs of your printer.

Most Epson A4 printers allow you to customise the page size to much longer than the standard size. The width is limited to a maximum of 210mm, but the length can be up to 3 meters.

A 300dpi image from 6 megapixels camera is only designed to print at a size of A4. The printing of a larger picture at high quality is possible by printing at a lower resolution, this is subject to the fact that the cameras produced a good quality image. Most image from digital cameras using a low ISO will be of high quality.

You need to calibrate your monitor and your printer. Firstly, the most important element is that you calibrate your monitor to ensure that it is displaying each colour accurately. Once you have calibrated your monitor you need to do a test print and compare the image to your screen image, if both do not match then you will need to calibrate your printer. To calibrate your monitor and screen you need a calibration tool.

Two common types of inks are dye and pigment inks.

• Dry inks are water based. This is the most common ink used in desktop printers.
• Dry inks can break down and fade overtime
• Dry inks are cheaper than pigment inks.
• Dry inks are absorbed by your printer paper.
• Pigment ink is not absorbed into the printer paper; instead it sits on the surface of the paper.
• It is believed that the prints with pigment inks may last for hundreds of years.
• Some pigment inks don’t print well on glossy paper; this is because the ink normally creates a matte finish.
