How to Repair the Epson 7600/9600 Printer
Epson printers are well designed and have been proven to be the leading printers
for photography, display, and fine art. They are low in cost as compared to
professional printers made from Mimaki, Mutoh, and Roland and have led the field
in pigment inks. Their progress in technology this has been valuable for the
advancement in Digital Printing. However, Epson printers need to be maintained

•Epson printers are not user friendly for cleaning or maintaining. The pads of
the capping station, the wiper, the bottom of the heads and dampers are not
