Before you buy.
You can safely remove and re-insert the same cartridge for an
Epson EX. The only problem is that the status monitor will think
that you have just inserted a new (full) cartridge. So now you run
the risk of running the inks completely dry because according to
the status monitor, you still have inks in the cartridge.
This is probably what happened in your case (somebody re-inserted
the cartridges). You should get a new set of cartridges and try again.
