Replacing Ink Cartridges - Epson STYLUS CX3800 Series User Manual

4. If there are still gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint,
run another cleaning cycle and check the nozzles again.
Note:
If you don't see any improvement after cleaning the print head
four or five times, turn off the Epson Stylus CX and wait
overnight. This lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the
print head again. If quality still does not improve, one of the ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and needs to be replaced.
Tip:
If you do not use your Epson Stylus CX often, it is a good idea to
print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print
quality.
