Question posted by beajillette on February 20th, 2013

Dried Ink

What can I do -- most of the inkjets have dried up on my Epson 3800 printer. Cleaning and power cleanings do not solve the problem. I bought this so long ago that I no longer have the sales slip. Should I can it? Trade it? Give up?

I suggest that you replace the ink cartridges of your Epson 3800 printer with a brand new one. You can purchase compatible ink cartridges for this printer online. I provided the links below for your easy purchase.

Read the user's manual to learn how to properly install the ink cartridges.
