Epson Photo 1430 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson Photo 1430 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson Photo 1430 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.
