How to Clean Canon Printhead
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ม.ค. 2019
- This will work for almost all Canon Printheads. Usually Canon printer heads are easy to remove and clean. Just soaking it may not always do the trick. Also, make sure you have ink in the cartrudges. This fix does not apply to printers with 2 ink cartridge system (Tri-Color and Black).
Link to a video on how I made a hose that I use in this video:
• Homemade hose for clea...
Cleaning Solution Recipe Suggestion:
Mix 40% windex, 20% ammonia, 40% hot water. Cold water is fine too, but hot water makes the solution warm and is more effective.
Another good solution for cleaning printheads is LA's totally Awesome" brand cleaner from dollar tree or dollar general. Mix 50% Cleaner /50% water (50/50)

Thanks for the tutorial. My takeaway was that you can really get it all wet and it will still work. I replaced my 2 ink cartridges and nada, so while I was shopping for a new print head, I came across this video and it allowed me to experiment. I ran it under warm water from both side and saw the ink and various "clots" coming out of the print head. Kept it up for about 5-10 minutes, then blew off the excess water, let it sit for a while to dry, put it back in with fresh ink and viola'. Worked like a charm. Thanks for saving me $45 for a new print head.
So helpful thanks- you have to see someone do this to understand how to remove the print head . No amount of manuals could ever illustrate it as well as this guy. Top man!
Good video. I appreciate it. I'd like to suggest one last step before drying the printhead. Rinse it in distilled water. Tap water contains a lot of dissolved minerals that will calcify when water dries away. By rinsing it with distilled water those contaminants will be removed.
Thank you very much for the suggestion. I think you are right about rinsing with distilled water.. Have a great day!
I tried this last week and wanted to thank you for this. You saved me from having to buy another printer. I dipped the printhead in boiling water multiple times and opened the hot water on just a bit to get it to fall as wide as a straw to clean each color and after 30-40 minutes it was all back to normal.
THANK YOU! You help fix my Canon Pixma 9000 that would act like its printing but not output any ink. I microwaved a dish of DISTILLED water to a boil with 1/2 tsp of dish soap and soaked for 20 minutes. Then I used a dollar store plastic ketchup bottle and placed the tip over the ink wells and pushed pressurized distilled water through them. It never made a stream like your video but had a nice flow of water droplets bleed through the print head (like dew on a rose pedal). Dried it with a lint free towel, installed it, and now works like a new! Thanks again! GOD bless you!
Many thanks for your video. It gave me confidence to apply a lot more warm water and soaking time to fully clean a very clogged print head (extended storage). The yellow nozzles had a thick carpet of spikes and the black nozzles were just a ribbon of black. Printer just gave a B200 error on startup attempts. After a day of cleaning and soaking the water finally stayed clean. I reinstalled the print head and fresh ink. It needed the reset procedure of leaving the cover open until the head moved left (to clear the B200 error). First print test was perfect and it has been working well since the cleaning. Thank you.
Thank you so much for making this VDO, it’s helped a lot. We are using off market inks also, first we thought the inks were bad. I was going to test all the ink that we have to see which one is bad but it is printing out the correct color again now 😊👍
This worked for me! I have a 6-year old Canon MX922. I was away from home & ended up buying an Canon TS6220. One day after I got back I had the dreaded B200 error on the MX922. Followed your instructions & at first it did not work. Then the next day I had the bright idea of taking the print head out of the 4-day old TS6220. Well when I turned on the MX922 to get the print head to move so I could take it out, the B200 error was gone. I put a fan on it after I took it out of the cleaning solution, but I guess it was not totally dry. Kudos & thanks.
You saved my sanity today! Three trips to Target and 10 hours to get this dumb thing sorted. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! It worked for my MX882 which kept showing the B200 error msg.. after following your steps it seems to be working perfectly. Test page, regularly printing and all. More importantly, that error isn't popping up, even after printing👍👍👏👏 BRAVO SIR AND THX AGAIN!!
Thank you so, so much for this! My Canon MX922 stopped printing just black ink (colors worked fine) a few weeks ago. No error message, no indication of what was wrong with it, just no black ink being printed despite brand new cartridges being in there. I followed this tutorial/walk through and I'm delighted that it worked!!!
Mine did the same exact thing! I was ready to buy a new one and then I found this video!! So thankful for some really smart people on youtube that take the time to share their knowledge!! Thank you 303 Electronics!!
thank you, these videos are more helpful than anything canon itself puts out!
I want to thank you so much for this! I had one page ONE PAGE left to print lol and got the 200 error. Cleaning the printhead worked like a charm! I
Between this video and the removal of the head video, you saved my printer. Thank you for some very simple and direct instruction. MX922
Great! Thanks for sharing! Glad I could help!
I'd like to thank you a lot for this DIY. It helps myself !
Thank you this worked. I ended up having a tube like yours and kinda used my hand to hold the other end over my regular faucet tightly and it was enough pressure to fix it!
Yay! This solution finally worked for me. I had just printed over 400 pages and then it started printing blank pages. Tried all the cleaning and wasted so much ink and still blank pages. I used a little dish liquid and water in a bowl and shook the printhead and did it several times until the water was clear. I ended the final rinse with distilled water as TBNTX suggested, dried it off and the nozzle head print sheet printed!! I will use this as a regular maintenance item.
I'm glad you got it fixed! Thank you very much for sharing. Have a great day!
Couldn't believe it was going back in without a night to dry out in a warm place.
I shook the water off hard, and put it straight back in.
Remember. It already was printing badly! So I wasn't going to loose out.
Major result. Perfect printing again.
Excellent.
Thank you.
The "squirt" method worked perfectly with my Canon Pro-100. The M and Y channels were completely clogged and this solved the problem after the first try. Thanks!
I'm happy for your success! I know that feeling! 🙂🙂🙂. Great printer you have!
It worked. Thank you thank you thank you!
Initially I replaced all the ink tanks, didn't work. Then I used cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to clean the printhead, didn't work. Repeated the alcohol trick several times, still no luck. I didn't want to throw the printer out cause I have a lot of ink cartridges......but this worked. I'm printing again!
Thank you so much for this video! I did not want to buy a new printer and all the automatic 'cleaning' options were not doing the trick. You literally saved me time and money!
That was the plan. Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you fixed it. Have a great weekend!
Very good video - easily understood, etc. Thanks
Dude, you are the best, I bought a second-hand one and yellow didn't come up, but I followed your recommendations and now it works perfectly. You are the best
Hey! Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you got it working properly. Have a great weekend!
Thanks mate. Saved my printer and now I can pass on the knowledge you passed onto me.
Thank you. Glad I could help. Have a great weekend!
Just done this and it worked out perfect, self cleaning by printer would not do it so thanks for this video
I bought a great printer from canon in 2019 for $63. And after the original canon cartridges ran out I bought generic ones. Whiting a month my printer started having issues where the PGBK ink wouldn't come out, just the colors. I called canon a few times. Tried all the different test I could do over the phone with one of their technicians. Until the guy told me my printer couldn't get fixed and I had to discard it and buy a new one. Hence my printer is now is $300 because of the pandemic. But then I came acros your video. And it saved my printer. THANK YOU!!!!
I don't have a tube like yours so I used my water pick. And now it's working beautifully. Except that the printer's screen is saying that my one week old cartridges are very low. almost ending. But thats fine.
Thanks again.
Thank you very much for sharing! Have a great weekend!
Thank you so much for this video and your other one about why a printer isn't printing one color! Have tried everything to fix my printer and this is the only thing that fixed it. I was about to take it to a repair shop or get a new printer.
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you got your printer fixed with the help of our videos. Have a great day!
worked like a charm! thanks!
OMG, YOU SAVED ME!! NONE OF THE OTHER TH-cam VIDEOS WERE HELPFUL BUT YOURS!!!!!!! I FOLLOWED YOUR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!! THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!!! 💙
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad i could help. Have a great day!
@@303electronics I almost gave up until I saw your video. Amazing!! You're so awesome!!!! Have a great day also. Thank you again immensely!
THANK YOU thank you thank you! Here I thought I was going to have to buy a new printer. The only tricky part was getting the print head out and back again. But a little finesse turned the trick. I soaked my head (people have been suggesting I do that for years!) and then used the faucet flow to flush out the ink channels.
My Pixma MX922 is happy now, thanks to you.
That's great to hear! Thank you very much for sharing! Have a great day!
Thank you so much for posting! I have restored my print head and printing color again!
VerY helpful and thank you a lot!
Thank you so much for your videos, I was just about to buy a new printer. Printer is perfect now after following your instructions on how to take it out and clean it.
I'm glad you found videos helpful. Thank you so much! Have a great day!
Thanks for this video. My TS9020 printer was missing the yellow and BK bands in the nozzle check pattern. Tried the windex and paper towel method and then soaking in warm distilled water and even blowing on the cartridge inlets to the printhead using a tubing. No difference. ..... Then with nothing to lose I tried your method. It worked beautifully and the nozzle check pattern is 100% good. ... Thanks again.
I'm glad you tried it and got it fixed! Thank you very much for sharing! Have a great day!
Thank you so much, I had no idea I could clean them. I had two colours blocked after not having used it in a long time. This worked perfectly. I used dishwashing liquid and rinsed it very well, under very warm water. Didn't have a tube but the medium water pressure on both sides of the device cleaned very well. I needed to deep clean a few times too on the printer.
useful to know you used washing up liquid. Thank you
I appreciate people making tutorials and hot to fix it videos on youtube. I follow them quite often and most of the time are quite helpful. Unfortunately I followed your directions to a T and it destroyed my print head. I have a Canon IP6700D. Prior to watching this video I followed another video which suggested GENTLY pouring distilled water from a spoon onto the nozzels. I followed that and it worked pretty well. However there were still some dead lines in the magenta. VERY FEW LINES after printing a test pattern. But it was FAR better than before. So I then tried this approach you detailed in the video, (I got a faucet attachment and clear hose) watched your video TWICE to make sure I did it properly and cleaned it until no more ink ran through. I don't think I used any more water pressure that what you demonstrated. I made special note of that, for you said too much could destroy the print head. Then I let it dry overnight. I put the printer back together, installed brand new ink and printed a test pattern...and pretty much EVERY LINE IS BAD! Its beyond BAD. Its a total NIGHTMARE. Far worse than any of my initial issues with the clogged heads. Needless to say I couldn't use the printer for my intended purpose today to meet a deadline and print an important label. I think I'm going to have to replace the print head. This might also be my first ever response to a youtube video (after using youtube for some 16 years). So beware, this hose approach seems very unpredictable in terms of destroying a print head, especially for someone without much experience. (I'm a pretty technically savy person too.) So I would encourage anybody to try a gentler approach (or approaches) first.
THANK YOU for a very detailed and step by step instruction!!!
Thanks for the feedback. Have a great day!
OMG you just saved me money I just bought brother printer today because i thought my canon mx922 was done but now I cleaned up the clog it's been clogged for 3 yrs a lot of colors still coming out so I am soaking it now with warm water over night still releasing lots of color residual. I am going to return the brother printer i bought because i dont need it anymore thanks to you!!
That's great! Thank you for sharing. Have a great day!
@@303electronics yea after the initial unclogging the one u showed on the video the color went back to good quality and i print 5 pages of 8x10 photo and it went back to clogging again so now i am soaking it over night still coming out lots of color residuals. The head has not been clean for 3yrs so it's been clogged a lot.
Ah watching those clogs getting washed away is so satisfying thanks this helps a lot
Thanks for the good video. I wish I know this much earlier. I bought another a new Canon 892 after my 870 failed on me. I also threw away my daughter's 892 since she did not use for a while. I will keep this in mind.
Thank you! Have a great day!
Thank you very much for this tutorial.
Nice video I'll have to give this a try, our canon is leaving black ink streaks on cards and envelopes. I hope this fixes the problem.
Another good solution for cleaning printheads is LA's totally Awesome" brand cleaner from dollar tree or dollar general.
Excellent video, thank you!
This fixed my b200 error code on my Canon MG7120. My printer is 6 or 7 years old and I have never cleaned the printhead.....
I always thought my issues were not using the authentic Canon print cartridges, but maybe my machine needed a little TLC.
Thanks!
Great Job.Thank You.
Thank you for your help!
Thank you.... This saves me from buying a new printer... thanks again!
You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback!
I used paint remover and worked perfectly
Thanks man
Great to hear! I hope it wasn't too harsh of a chemical, but thank you for sharing!
Thank you, I was struggling to put it back after cleaning
Thanks for the help. Very informative. I cleaned the print head on my Canon MG6620, but I'm not getting even printing. I liked the part where you inspect the flow, I am going to go back and do it again paying more attention.
Glad it helped
Thank you! This worked beautifully!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! Have a great day!
You saved my life! Thank you so much!!!!
I felt this. I was losing my dang mind today.
Thanks for this bud, just finished cleaning and I am now letting the print head dry inside the enclosure of my 3D printer. It's about 60C in there so it should dry it out nicely while this print is going. I'll report back later for my results.
How did you go with this solution? it works?
@@MYRNITAX This seems to have worked like a charm. I did make a small change from the exact process. I first used lighter fluid (naptha) to break up some of the clogged ink, I just got it into the nozzles as best as I could. Then I soaked the whole thing in a manner similar to what is shown here, using hot water with a splash of Windex. Then I used some spare rubber line from my fish tank to gently force water through the jets. Let it dry at 60c for about an hour and prints are nice n crisp once again.
@@ianide2480 thank you so much for your answer
This is an awesome video! Not an ink-related question, but my Pixma MX-922 has stopped feeding paper from the lower tray. I've cleaned the rollers with alcohol, but it seems like the bottom rollers no longer spin to feed the paper into the printer. Any ideas on what I could do? I'd love to buy another 922, but Canon in their infinite wisdom no longer sells them.
Thank you so much. A life saver 😊
Thanks for the video. What brand of ink do you recommend?
wow. this fixed my problem. Thanks so much!
I'm glad it worked! Thank you very much for your feedback! Have a great weekend!
Very helpful, thanks man.......
So happy with the results. My colors are a little worse than before, but I expect that's from water dilution. But I had nothing from the large black and now it's totally good!
Also, I did forget about how much I struggled with getting the print head out. The video helped me get it out easier than the first time.
That's great! Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend!
Great video thank you! Question - What happens if the ink pads collect too much ink over time like you mentioned? Can those also be cleaned? Thanks again
thank you very much
Thanks a lot for this video
You're welcome! Have a great day!
Hi! I've washed the print head - seems to work (previously the print was a bit smudged and not with bright colours). However the black is still causing issues. Any idea how I can fix this? Can I use iso alcohol to clean the heads instead of water? Cheer!
Thank you for your help. God bless you
My pleasure! God bless you as well!!!
interesting video. I have one question ... what do you use for "cleaning solution"?
Thank you!! It worked!!!
Great! Congrats on the success! Thanknyou for sharing!
hello. In my particular case, I have used these techniques for many years. I have been a member of the defunct Epsonian forum and nowadays I uncover head injectors with running water without problems. all those who only speak for what they read and have not dared the challenge of experimenting -there is the work of a professional, not to stay with what is read or the theory but of the challenge, to go further ...- there is heads nowadays that no longer allow these tactics, such as the epson L series heads, as a contribution to this good tutorial, it only remains for me to say that the results obtained with ammonia before washing with running water are amazing, isopropyl alcohol a sometimes the results are worse. Given the type of head this technique of the hose and the tap of running water does not fit its use for Epson heads so to a lesser extent it would come to do almost the same. I immerse it in the ultrasound tray and use different trays, ultrasound times and different compositions, depending on the complexity of the obstruction, all for home use. As you can see here-what is not seen in the video is the drying technique after so much water-only for copyright, it is not shown but I know very well how it does it because I also use my own technique to dry that not It brings any kind of inconveniences like they want to do to see claiming that minerals etc etc etc. Even the lenses of laser units such as cdrom, dvd rom I have put them under water but whoever wants to believe or not is only a matter of challenges based on experience. very good video. My greetings from Mar del Plata Argentina.-
Thank you very much for the information and feedback! Have a great weekend!
Nice video. Thanks. My 5520 won't print black text. I followed your vide and still have the same problem. On the test page it's not printing anything from the PGBK cartridge. I have not tried a new cartridge (I'd rather not purchase one if that cartridge is not the problem). Thoughts? Does it sound like a printhead problem or a cartridge problem? I've done deep cleaning with no change in results. I did NOT do a cleaning after removing and cleaning the inkhead.
It’s like you live in Uzbekistan around 1994, when you have very old looking US$ you just wash with detergent, iron them and good to go!😀😀👍🏻
Where did you get the spigot adaptor, is it something I might find at Hardware? What kind of "cleaning solution" are you using? Looks like Simple Green or would common dishwashing liquid work?
Sir May I ask. My colored cartridge releases ink when Im wiping the
nozzle but during printing, it doesn't show any ink at all even when
doing deep cleaning multiple times, and only the black cartridge works.
What do you think seems to be the problem. Thank you :)
My MX922 keeps printing double lines at the PGBK grid lines section during the nozzles check print... any idea what is wrong pls? I did the cleaning as you did in this video (thank you btw for this awesome instruction and easy to follow tutorial), I ran the test after cleaning, and the same issue happened again
Super Video.Danke! ❤👍
You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback! Have a great day!
@@303electronics Super
My PGBK parts is smeared and blur in the middle section? Do you know how to fix this.
Is it possible to swap a regional print head with another region, I have a MG7540 form the UAE but now live in Spain, can't get the ink here.
Thank you. Will remove head today. Others had mention to be careful not to get the electric contact plate wet. Is this important or not. Thanks again
Good question, I want to know the same thing? Did you try?
I've gotten it wet, and it is impossible not to get it wet. I had to submerge mine gently. Just ensure it is dry. Mine is working like a charm and I wet it a 2x already
Clean it ran test page the blue was after market does not show have to get a cay an the yellow was after market it works fine will this effect the print coming up pink
Thanks. Great video! I have Canon MX722. Would love to replicate what you did to clean heads, since I've never cleaned mine and have printed 12,951+ pgs. I too use generic ink (great savings). I ran deep cleaning today - super psyched. The model in your video seems to swivel up for access to print head, MX722 doesn't do that. Any referrals or tips on how to access MX722 heads is appreciated. By the way, thanks, you just saved me several hundred dollars, as I was looking to replace my printer.
Thanks I found the answer on another of your videos. Great. Thanks!!
Thank you so mutch, I dit it !!!
it's work for canon maxify mb2120
and what liquid I used ??
I don't see Canon Pro-2000 on the list, will this solution works?
If you press the stop button for a few seconds it will automatically move the print head into the replacement position
I need to pull the print cartriage out...and follow your cleaning....I had No idea it would slip out to be cleaned...OK pull all ink cartriages then Grab the tray and gently pull it out "RIGHT" ?
It was okay to get the metal contact strip wet?
If one color stops printing but the cartridge is still half full, does that mean the print head dead for that color ? I tried your cleaning method and also also preformed a deep clean test on the head. Still nothing for that one color.
If you hold down the cancel button after you remove the ink, the head should move to the head removal position
Thank you very much for sharing this information. I found that out after making the video. Have a great weekend!
Thank you so much :-)
You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback!
thank you
You're welcome
Wonderful! REQUEST - Can you do a video on manually cleaning a Canon Refillable printer? (e.g. Canon Maxify GX7020)
I will try as soon as I get my hands on one! Thanks for your suggestion and feedback.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome! Have a great weekend!
@@303electronics I had that B200 problem with my Canon Pixma MX920 and thanks to your video I solved it easily. It was all stained with ink, a nice clean and it seems to be working fine. No, I don't use Chinese cartridges. I refill the same cartridges with canon ink. It would cost too much to change with the original canons and never reloading them. Hello
? What if I have done all that and the PBGK still does not print? Do I need a new head
Question about what you are using for cleaning fluid. I see it is green in color, are you using Simple Green?
THANKS, great video. I watched another video but they were not as clear about removing the printhead as you were! I was afraid to go by the other video, since it was not very clear on HOW TO remove and replace the printhead? but yours is clear enough I am confident I would NOT mess something up.
>>> THANKS for you reply
Hi. thank you very much! No, I do not use simple green, though it may be not a bad option. I'll try it and see. I use a window cleaning solution like windex and add ammonia about 10% of the solution.
Thank you for the time you took to make this video. My canon MX922 will print in color and black on color but if I am printing plain black ink it does not print correctly and I am unable to read.
My print head is soaking right now - I hope it works because I really like this printer and I do not want to buy a new one. Here's hoping! :)
That is what happened with my printer after I replaced the printhead. I hope this worked for you - I'm trying it next.
Im trying it to soak in water coz sone say u cant soak the printerhead chip . Cross finger it will work for me
Where do I get the faucet cap that's attached to the sink-faucet?
Good.
Okay i tried this one but still my printer says alkost out of ink but my inks are still full coz they are new. What else can i do?
Why did you not remove the screws on the back of the print head to clean the nozzles more gently?? It's so easy to do!!
What size tubing should I get?
How about soaking the whole print head in isopropyl alcohol overnight?
