My Epsonwf2530 Prints But No Ink Comes On The Paper (cartridges Recently Changed

Hello. After using the starter cartridges that came with my Epson 2530, I have tried some non-Epson cartridges, that worked absolutely fine for the first 20 pages and just now, no ink touches the paper. The print job gets sent to the printer OK, page comes out (completely white)... it's like the ink is just not feeding through the heads. I know Epson doesn't reccommend anything other than their own cartridges, but i didn't think it would be so absolute. I thought the print quality might suffer a bit, kinda streaky... I could live with that. But no, it just stopped putting ink to paper after about 20 pages. I have done auto-cleaning of the heads, removed the cartridges, put them back in etc etc... no luck. Any solutions?

Obviously, it is not possible to use a different ink cartridge for your Epson WorkForce WF-2530. You may use it for sometime but in the future, it could create an error or hardware failure to your printer. I suggest that you use only a comaptible ink catridge for this device. You can buy compatible ink cartridges here:
