ERROR MESSAGE from picture mate deluxe viewer edition **the internal pad that absorbs ink during head cleaning has become saturated.(T557) The genuine photo cartrige listed above is recommended for replacement. ** But when i shake the cartrige it looks at least half empty !!! I have downloaded the epson SSC service utility version 4.3 ? to reset the printer ink but doing so i get error messages from the main screen.( i do see the picturemate printer in the utility selection and choose that one...with no result ) So the printer is on with the message on the display all the time connected or not to the COMPUTER. ( I have all the drivers needed for that printer in WIN 7) ... ... but the printer stays on that message ???? PLS What to do I"m at a lost ps I have 2 of these printer one picturemate deluxe, and one picture mate ( with a similar message )

I had to change the ink cartrige , for both printers and It did solve the problem ( 89.00$) witch is better then servicing the printers when it does not need any servicing. ( at a premium cost I hate epson for their END OF LIFE of printers ) ****
I am a data processing veteran of 35 yrs ( my age 57 )
Although, from what i think this sponge absorber is within the ink cassette inside, because i would still get the same message after putting new ink cassette.
THE INK CASSETTE that is 50% full is garbage ( i hate epson ) and i have 4 epson printers
one r280, one r2400 (professional use 13 x 49 prints ) and 2 picMate
EPSON AS NOW CONVICE ME NEVER AGAIN I WILL BUY EPSON PRODUCT
FELL FREE TO PASS THIS ALONG!
ONE FREE ADVICE FOR OTHER PEOPLE when prints degrade donot clean heads many times in a row ( this is what augment their shitty counter or whatever, clean once and better to print 2-3 times it might clean the head after 2-3 shot of printing , even if the prints are no good )
if they are still no good( the prints ) clean again, but never like 10 times in a row like I did .
You can print head nozzel chek after that BUT NEVER CLEAN NOZEL LIKE 10 TIME, BASING YOURSELF ON THE PRINT HEAD NOZZEL CHECK ( wich is good for epson sales of ink cartrige I HATE EPSON ) and their mentality.
