Epson C58 Waste Ink Counter Reset
If your Epson C58 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 C58 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson C58 waste counter reset in minutes.
Common Symptoms
- ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
