Hi, I don't know if this works with all Epsons, but this works with alot of them. Turn the printer on and let it start up properly. Then, you might see a button which looks like a few sheets of paper piled up, hold that down for a few seconds, (usually about 3 seconds). The cartridges should move over to the other side, or at least be out of the way for long enough to do something positive.) When you've finished, hold the same button down until it goes back to its original location. Hope this helps, this has worked on all the Epsons I've tried so far.

Print quality is declining even with new cartridges. My question though is, how do you get the cartridge to move from its parked position and get it to stay there long enough to clean the parking position?
