Replacing Ink Cartridges If the Check ink light stays lit and the icon appears above an ink cartridge on the LCD screen, the cartridge is expended. When an ink cartridge is expended, you need to replace it. You may also need to replace a cartridge that is more than six months old, or if your printouts do not look their best, even after cleaning and aligning the print head. Note: Please dispose of your used Epson branded ink cartridges responsibly and in accordance with local requirements. If you would like to return your used ink cartridges to Epson for proper disposal, please go to epson.com/recycle for more information.
