Your Pronter Manual will tell you how to run the head cleaning routine. Try that.

With some makes of printer, when you install a new ink cartridge you also install a new head ( HP for instance), but with Epson ( for example ) cartridges you just replenish the ink reservoir trying to pass new ink through a perhaps now faulty print head.
You could download a printer manual from the manufacturers website.

Perhaps the new cartidge new a 'prime' to get it going properly. Sometime even genuine cartridges are faulty.
