The compatible T054220 (Epson T0542) cartridge that I Refilled is leaking
If the ink flows out of the exit port when you attempt to
refill the cartridge, the exit port is not sealed properly:
- You need to clean and dry the area around the exit port before you try to seal it with the tape. I also find it helpful to keep a finger on the tape while I am refilling the cartridge just to make sure the ink doesn't leak out.

If your cartridge is leaking after you have completed all of
the refill steps, the seal is not completely air tight:
-
You will want to remove the tape that you applied.
-
Make sure that the area around the fill hole is completely clean and dry.
-
Apply a new piece of aluminum tape to the area. You can use your
fingernail to help affix the tape firmly to the area.

If your cartridge is leaking the bulk of the ink out of the cartridge after you
have completed all of the refill steps, it could be that the cartridge has been
sitting empty for too long. The internal sponge may not
be able to soak up the ink.
- If the sponge is no longer viable, there is no repair for this and you will need a new cartridge.
