Refill Ink kits are hard to find in my area, so the idea of playing with other ink.

If your ink light is still blinking the chip has not been properly reset.
If the printer is just flat out not printing. there are several issues that may have occurred. There will be an L-shaped vent near the bottom of the cartridge, make sure there is nothing obstructing that.
The ink may be door dense for the printer, if it was designed for an HP or Lexmark printer than it will be too think to pass through an epsons fine print head. If that is the case you need to start fresh with a new cartridge (not all ink is created equal)
Finally if you have an unobstructed vent and an ink designed for an Epson printer your problem is most likely your print head is clogged. If the printer was not printing well prior to refilling or the cartridge was absent from the printer for more than a couple days you will have a blockage. Run a number of print head cleanings to hopefully free that up.

i have no idea what kind of ink that is, but your printer is probably clogged like nuts (it happens in epsons all the time). get in there with a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol and clean off each little printhead cone until no ink comes off them anymore, then try your printing again.
this is why i dislike epson :P
also, reset your chips again just in case.

Are you SURE the chip is RESET?
Does the ink level display show as full?
