Epson maintenance boxes are waste ink pad holders with a chip that end-users (ie: you) can take out and replace as/when you need to.

Installation: CX3200
The Epson CX3200 is surprisingly like the R300 with a minor change in the way the trapdoor is mounted. Instead of the screw securing it being to the bottom of the trap door, it’s located perpendicular and at the top of the trap door. Not exactly rocket science. Inside things are a little different as […]

Installation: RX640 (archived)
The Epson RX640 is built in the same way as the RX560, RX580, RX585, RX590, RX595 and RX610 models from Epson so this guide will apply equally to those models as well. Note: A more comprehensive guide for the RX560 is now available and the overall design of the printer is very similar, if […]
Installation: Epson D120, C110, C120
Note: This printer is physically, exactly the same as the following Epson printer models: C110 C120 D120 The Epson D120 follows on from the earlier C84 to D88 models and their tradition of no trapdoor or access hatch. While this does mean you have to release the top of the printer case to get […]

Installation: RX680, RX685, RX690
This guide is equally applicable to the following models: RX680 RX685 RX690 I’ll use the model number RX685 for ease throughout.

Installation: Epson Photo 1400, 1390, 1410
This modification covers the Epson Stylus Photo models: 1390 1400 1410 The Epson 1400 printer seems to be incredibly similar to the R2400 and R1800, in terms of case and waste ink design but with one important difference. Instead of utilising two waste tubes this printer has only one. This guide provides greater detail on […]
Installation: C84 – D88
This modification is equally applicable to to the Epson models: C84, C86, C88, D88 C64, C66, C68, D68 The C86 printer and similar models (there’s a slew of them!) do not have the trapdoor built into their designs so the instructions for fitting a waste ink tube on these printers is more complex and requires […]
