The Epson WorkForce 435 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

A waste ink counter in the Epson WorkForce 435 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Why Does the Epson WorkForce 435 Show ‘Service Required’?

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson WorkForce 435 waste counter reset in minutes.
