    Just what do you mean by "refill tank"? Are you using one of those
    cartridge refill kits? This could be your problem - try buying a new
    cartridge now and then (remember, the apertures in the cartridges are approximately 1/300th of an inch or smaller - the tiniest fleck of dust getting into the cartridge during refill could easily clog one or more
    of them). If you are experiencing this problem with replacement
    cartridges, I would most certainly complain vigorously to Epson (they
    would at least owe you for the cost of the defective cartidges, not
    counting the time you've lost dealing with the problem).
