Diaper change: Epson Stylus models

All ink printers need to clean their print heads from time to time, or they offer the user to see that it´s done.

Do you know where an Epson printer puts the ink it uses to clean the heads? By and by lots of ink is going down the drain, and finally floats down to the printer´s bottom.

Editor Frank Frommer will show you, how to change the waste ink collector for Epson models and how to reset their respective counters.
