Cleaning The Print Head - Epson Stylus C41 Series User Manual

The printer prints an operation check page that includes your
printer's ROM version information, the ink counter code, and a
nozzle check pattern. Below are sample printouts.
Good sample
Print head needs to be cleaned
The above sample is in black and white, but the actual test prints in color
(CMYK).
If the nozzle check page does not print satisfactorily, there is a
problem with the printer. This could be a clogged ink nozzle or a
misaligned print head. See the next section for details on cleaning
the print head. For information on aligning the print head, see
"Aligning the Print Head" on page 135.

Cleaning the Print Head

If you find that the printed image is unexpectedly faint or dots in
the printed image are missing, you may be able to solve these
problems by cleaning the print head, which ensures that the
nozzles are delivering ink properly.
