Hey guys,

I have been given a Epson Photo R800 for free.

It only has one problem, it has been stood in the corner of a room for a couple of months and it has dried out. I have the cleaning kit and new inks but I heard they are hard to get working again.

Anyone got any first hand experience with them?

depends on the cleaning kit. InkRepublic by far has the best cleaning kit called, i-Remove.

if you get good result, next time, you should setup some auto-printing program that at least print a nozzle check once 3 days while it's idle.
