I cleaned the print head three times, but my printout still has white or dark lines running through it. What should I do?

• If you still see white or dark lines or missing colors in your printouts, even after cleaning the print head several times, you can perform a Power Ink Flushing.

  Note: After a Power Ink Flushing, you must turn off the product and wait at least 12 hours before printing again.

  Caution:
  Power Ink Flushing consumes a lot of ink and should be performed only if necessary. Refill the ink tanks before performing a Power Ink Flushing. Power Ink Flushing affects the service life of the ink pads by causing them to reach their capacity sooner. When an ink pad reaches the end of its service life, the product stops printing and you must contact Epson for support.
