Epson printers have the nozzles built into the carriage so what I have found is that once they plug the printer is toast. I was able to prolong the death of one of mine by a month or two by getting a refill kit that included cleaning solution. Fill an old cart with cleaner and bang away with the cleaning process. You might get lucky, but usually it'll clog again quickly. YMMV.
I switched to an HP printer after going through 3 Epsons in a year. At least w/ HP you replace the print nozzles when you replace the ink cart.
