There are 2 screws below the ink cartridges(where the ink goes into the print head). I removed them and the head did not come out. There must be something else to do?You must mean below the ink cartridges?

If you are experiencing low print quality with horizontal strips on your Epson R300 printer, it is possible that the problem is caused by a clogged nozzle or an issue with the printer's print head. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
Check the nozzle check pattern: Run a nozzle check to see if any of the nozzles are clogged. If you see any missing lines or gaps in the pattern, it could indicate a clogged nozzle.
Clean the print head: If the nozzle check pattern shows that one or more nozzles are clogged, try cleaning the print head. You can use the printer's built-in cleaning function or use a cleaning solution specifically designed for printer heads.
Check the ink cartridges: Make sure the ink cartridges are properly installed and that there is enough ink. If the cartridges are low on ink or not properly installed, it can affect the print quality.
Check the printer's settings: Make sure the printer is set to the correct paper type and print quality settings. If the settings are not appropriate for the type of paper you are using, it can affect the print quality.
If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the printer serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the necessary repairs.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
Nozzle Clogs This is the number one cause of banding and can happen somewhat regularly on Epson and other inkjet printers. Banding from nozzle clogging usually shows up as lighter and off color horizontal lines running through the print. ... Click the button and a test pattern will print.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Follow the steps below to clean the print head using the Head Cleaning utility. Make sure that the printer is turned on and the ink out light is off. Access the Print or Page Setup dialog box and click the Utility icon button, then click the Head Cleaning button.
To resolve this issue, you need to print a nozzle check pattern and then determine if print head cleanning is need.
To print nozzle check, follow the steps below.
Turn off the Artisan Series and your computer, if connected.
Disconnect any connected USB cables.
Load plain paper in the main tray.
Press the On button to turn the Artisan 800 Series on again.
Press Setup.
Select Maintenance.
Select Nozzle Check.
Press Start.
The Artisan Series begins printing the nozzle check pattern.
If there are no gaps, select Finish Nozzle Check. If there are gaps, select Head Cleaning.
If the nozzle check pattern page prints correctly, the problem may be with your software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
test the printer first, so that we can isolate the issue. print a nozzle check to eliminate the possibility that the nozzles are clogged by dried inks. if nozzle check prints blank page or it printedr but w/ gaps or breaks, do head cleaning
Try to print the nozzle check, and see what your out put is like. If it is not giving you a regular pattern, then have the nozzle replaced. Most times when the nozzle is clogged with ink, you get such out-puts. So follow this steps. How to print the nozzle check:
1. Press the Setup button.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Nozzle Check, then press the OK button.
3. Confirm the message on the display, then press the OK button to print the Nozzle Check. Shown below are some examples of what the nozzle check may look like.
If you do a nozzle check...do a cleaning...then do another nozzle check, you can "read" the patterns to see exactly what the problem may be. If the first nozzle check is missing half, then you do the cleaning, and the second is missing half also, check the pattern of the box to see if the missing nozzles are jumping around. If the pattern is exactly the same, you have clogs. If the pattern jumps around, you are having ink starvation issues, and may need dampers.

You must mean below the ink cartridges?
There are 2 screws below the ink cartridges(where the ink goes into the print head). I removed them and the head did not come out. There must be something else to do?
I guess I am a little confused. I removed the print cartridges and where the ink goes into the printer there is 2 screws. If I removed these screws nothing moves. Am I in the right place?
