Epson did this wonderful naming thing where they called the C88, the D88 in the UK.. Hence you probably missed this little gem:

Cleaning the waste ink pads or replacing them is nigh on impossible though as the printer case is essentially tuned to hold the printer together, if you get to the bottom of the pads you'd need a rig to then re-tune or calibrate it again and that's just crazy.

Much better to fit an external waste ink tank of some description and then use the SSC utility to reset it... You may find that it doesn't work as I know it had problems in the past but if that happens then this may help..
