4880 banding, clogged etc... overflowing

[shellyky]

hopefully w/ me knowing i can place some of this fluid on that pad every week or so to help keep the head moist and free flowingi can cut back on the power cleans....i found some waste tank inserts for like 5 bucks somewhere and theyve been fine thus far...then just use the chip resetter.

glad this thing is back up and running ... had me scared for a minute!  Thanks again guys.

you can stuff paper towels in there if needed...I did this with our old Brother 541.  It was easier than buying a $60 waste tank.

Our regular 4880 maintenance includes

How to Clean the Capping Station on Epson 4000 Series Printers

(about every 6 months because we do not print a lot of films).  We will also fill the maintenance tank with toilet paper after we remove cardboard roll and cut to fit.  If you have a chip resetter than this is a no brainer and will keep you from overflowing your tank.  Just make sure you set reminders to check it.
