Question: Will You Restock 8025e Print Heads or Should I Buy Used Ones?At present, your new 8025e print heads are out of stock. Should I buy a used one?

Troubleshooting Your Epson L 1800 Printer: Common Issues and Fixes
Question: How Can I Fix My Epson L 1800 Printer That Won't Print?I have followed several of your videos for testing the main board, ink lines, dampers, etc., but the printer still will not print. I've replaced both transistors (C6082, A2210), the F1 fuse, and now bought one of your print heads. I can run the head cleaning and see ink on the waste pad, as well as the ink flowing out to the waste tank.
