how can i fix epson 830?

The ink pads in the bottom tray will be full. It is very fiddly, and very messy, but you can take them out and wash them out.

The last site relates to another Epson model but I found it invaluable when taking the 830 to bits. There are 1 small and 4 large pads that need all the ink rinsing out.

Good luck.
