For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Always a difficult one this because the Epsons usually have the printhead built into the printer not the cartridge (like HP etc). There are cleaning cartridges around but maybe the RX420 is too new. Touchstone (www.printcartridge.net) do some but I can't find the RX420. However, they do have a flushing kit:-
JR Inkjet Flush 60ml
JR Inkjet Flush is a cleaning solution for print heads. Can be used on cartridges with integral print heads or print heads located in the printer. Contains instructions, no tools

Hi pad444, this is usually due to dried ink on the jet faces, if all else fails try this :- get the head to the centre of the printer where you can access it and then power off (take the plug out not switch off), take some wet cotton wool and find some way to hold it against the jets which is basically somewhere on the bottom surface of the head assembly, leave it overnight keep it wet. Next day do head cleaning etc... this sometimes works but even then you might have one or two blocked jets which will give blank streaks in the printing.
PS don't let water fall anywhere it should not be inside the printer!!
