Hi Yes you can try clean.

Ok it got to be the heads blockage
There is fluid cleaner for this but I can never find any in the shops the only ones I seen is when they sell them in Tesco but they come in with the ink refill bottles so I just use worm water by it self on a cloth and dabbing on the heads to clean them, it will not harm the heads but not to much water.

Some heads are on the inks them self but some have them inside the printer so I not know your printer so if the heads are inside you need to get them out you may find that some heads will just clip out put some need to be unscrewed so you got to know how they come out so be careful and not push to hard on them, if the heads are on the ink then it is a easy job to clean them,
It worth a try it worked for me more than ones.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on Helping.

SOURCE: I have put new inks

Please forgive me for suggesting the most simple of solutions, but.....many times, people forget to remove the tape that covers the ink ports on a new cartridge. If you have already done that, forgive me for thinking in such a simple manner.

SOURCE: My Epson Stylus C88+ printer won't print

Sounds like there's a problem with the print head. I'd recommend doing a nozzle check, if any colours are missing from the print out then try some head cleans. You can find the nozzle check and head clean options in the maintenance/utility tab of your printer driver.

5) Separate cleaning of color and black heads for all Epson inkjet printers, powerful cleaning mode.

Hello i changed the ink in my epson stylus dx4450 however the ink light is still on and it still wont print. i tried turning it off at the plug but still wont work

It seems that the connection on the cartridge and the printer are not proper. Remove the cartridge and clean the connectors on the cartridge and the printer. Also remove the tape on the print head.
