- asked if You primed the carts. That is You suck the outlet hole with a syringe until no bubbles are seen and there is no obvious resistance. The sucked ink can be put back in the filling hole.
Just after refilling, knock the cart gently against something so unwanted air pockets may disappear. Let the cart rest for 10 minutes or until you see no foam before priming. Inspect the cart for oddities. Do not let the ink levels go low. Also check the outlet hole so there is no cellophane or protective plastic left. However take care - on some cheap carts this plastic also is there to hold the O-ring (rubber ring) so no air comes in from outside the O-ring.
Is there a capping station clean it. Is there a wiper blade - clean it.
The capping station can often be reached by pulling the wall plug when you start the printer and the print carriage is in the middle of the printing area.
That's the primary.

To many cleaning cycles may also empty some of the ink holes in the print head. Let the printer rest between cleaning cycles. YMCK-bar charts are on the net - download one of those for printing instead of doing cleaning cycles one after another.
If there is a clog - You notice that if you replace to the original OEM-carts and after a head cleaning you still have the same ink bars are missing. Always have a set of reliable carts (OEM) to help diagnose errors.

If this do not help - You most certainly got a clog from some impurities caused by yourself or non-clean cheap carts/inks. If the printer is heavily used before - there might be other things going on.

Please let me search for the refill cartridges I used on a WF-7110 some time ago, I think it's the same or a very similar model you are using. Don't get crazy about all this, Epson cannot assure you that any type of cartridge beyond their control can work with their printers directly, it is not an Epson problem in the first place.

This is a typical internal construction of a refill cartridge, you have a spring loaded valve at the exit at the bottom, the ink is passing through a little chamber - here rounded in the middle of the cartridge, and there are some channels for the air, typically through a maze on the back side of the cartridge. The ink is passing through a fine wire mesh filter to the outlet. You can remove the side cover for a better view. The little round ink chamber should be filled with ink, about half +- , and you can pull the air out via the ink outlet with a syringe , this is typically meant with 'priming' such a cartridge. Please have a look if yours are somewhat similar in this respect.

That's just a lesson, son!
Man up!
You as we others do feel that our whole life but never tells anyone.
Mostly we solve that by ourself or get hints here. From what I know this forum does not offer a psychologist or at home services with parts and inks.

I asure You everything You need is here since long ago in this forum, except from nannies if needed.
