The power and ink lights flash on my Epson CX3600. Just replaced cartridges.

The flashing green light on your Epson Stylus CX3600 printer is indicating an error with the ink system. The error message you mentioned, "not to press the ink button unless the green light is on and not flashing", is likely referring to the ink button that is located on the side of the printer and is used to reset the ink levels.
To resolve the issue with the flashing green light, try the following steps:

1. Turn off the printer: Turn off the printer and disconnect it from the power source.
2. Clean the ink cartridges: Remove the ink cartridges from the printer and clean the contacts with a soft, damp cloth. Make sure not to touch the ink nozzles or the copper contacts.
3. Check for clogs: If the problem persists, check the ink cartridges for clogs and clean the print head.
4. Reinstall the ink cartridges: Reinstall the ink cartridges into the printer, making sure that they are properly seated.
5. Turn on the printer: Connect the printer to the power source and turn it on.
6. Check the green light: Observe the green light and make sure it is no longer flashing

which is your problem??

the first one or second one??

Wait for the power light to stop flashing before turning off the product. If you just replaced an ink cartridge and the power light is still flashing after 3 minutes, the cartridge may be installed incorrectly. ... Ink in a cartridge is low. You can continueprinting, or check which cartridge is low and replace it.

try unplugging from mains for a while

Power light flashing : processing. Ink light flashing : not recognizing cartridge. Replace the cartridges.

Check the following information if your printer not printing ink

Press the Ink Cartridge Replacement button and check the flash pattern of the control panel lights:
ERROR and POWER lights flash at the same speed = replace black cartridge
ERROR light flashes twice as fast as the POWER light = replace color cartridge

remove the cartridges then, the press and hold all the available buttons on your printer where it could cause a machine resetting...

you could also remove the cartridges then wipe the circuitry of the cartridge... (the gold-like connector)

then turn off your printer without putting back the cartridges... (leave it turned off for 5 minuets)

turn your printer on then it should be ok

(post back if it doesn't work)

Hi,
yes you can inject the cartridges.
