Please have installation done by a qualified technician — improper handling may damage the printhead or mainboard.
Do not inject water or remove protective liquid before use.
Check your printer’s mainboard, data cable, and ink system before replacing.
Inspect the item upon delivery. If damaged, refuse receipt and contact the seller immediately.
Once the warranty label is removed or the printhead is disassembled, returns and exchanges are void.
⚙️ Technical Notes
If ink has leaked before the printhead failed, it may have also damaged the motherboard.
Always check and confirm the mainboard condition before installing a new printhead.
Replace F1 and F2 fuses with original parts only.
Use original model pair tubes — different types can burn out the printhead or board.
🧩 Before You Buy or Install a Printhead
Check the error source: A flashing red light may indicate a mainboard or frame issue, not the printhead.
Mainboard check: If both mainboard and printhead are damaged, replace the mainboard first.
Inspect the data cable: Look for splitting, corrosion, or burn marks.
Old or dirty machines: In many cases, replacing the whole printer may be more economical.
Use quality ink: Poor ink systems cause clogs or leaks. High-quality ink protects your new printhead.
Keep the warranty intact: Don’t tamper with the warranty seal or disassemble the printhead.
🖨️ Precautions When Replacing the Printhead
💧 Do Not Inject Water or Remove Protective Fluid: Can cause internal damage not covered by warranty.
🧤 Handle With Care: The surface is delicate. Even a small bump can ruin it.
⚡ Power Off Before Installation: Gently move the carriage by hand before turning the printer back on.
🔌 Keep Cable Clean and Dry: Ink on connectors can short-circuit and damage the printhead.
🧽 Clean Shaft with Light Lubrication: Don’t over-oil; it could drip into the head.
🩸 Check Ink & Cleaning Parts: Make sure ink is full, and cleaning blade/pump are clean.
🌬️ Release Air After Installation: Clean twice only, then rest 30 min before repeating.

I was a bit unsure at first, but it turned out to be a great purchase. Prints are clean, no broken lines, and color alignment is spot on. Performs just like the original Epson printhead.

Smooth Installation & Good Value
The printhead came well-packed and sealed. I installed it on my R390 and it calibrated with no issues. Considering the print quality, this is a great value for the price.

Excellent Print Quality
This printhead worked perfectly with my Epson 1430. The colors came out sharp and vibrant right from the first print. It restored my printer back to professional-level output.

Terrific value and excellent customer service!
The first set of ink cartridges didn't work and they worked with me to figure it out. They then sent me a second set that worked perfectly. Excellent price, excellent value and excellent service. Will definitely purchase this product again!

It fits and works.
I use this for very basic printing. Not sure how it would compare for higher printing needs.
