This did it! Thank You...
That’s great 😀
where did you buy the fluid?
118ink.com
So glad I saved this very helpful video, I have used it once a year on my Epson printer and it works every time! Thank you.
That’s brilliant, great to hear of another success story.
I followed this tutorial and it really did fix my printer head. I used warmed up Mrs. Meyers instead of this solution and a syringe with the hole extended from a screw driver. Thank you so much I was almost in tears because I was so frustrated with my printer.
Hi, so you didn’t have the hose you only used a syringe? What was the screw driver for.. I’m about to lose my mind.. I want to fix my printer so bad
That’s a terrible idea and won’t work
The fluid will go everywhere and if you have resistance it will squirt everywhere.
@@Theinkrefillexperts Considering his sentence is in past tense, he already did this, and it already worked.
I don’t believe 😊
The fact he says he used a screwdriver to extend the hole is impossible.
The line are designed to be that exact size.
I am glad the cartridges will be happy in the cling film while they wait!
A happy Cartridge is a happy Printer 😀
😹😹😹👍
😂😂😂
Most impressed! Blocked head cleaned first time. Very clear instruction gives one confidence to have a go. Will be looking at cartridge purchase from you as well.
Thanks very much for the kind comments.
Excellent product. Followed isnstructions and cleaned blocked print head on Epson WF-2530 first time.
That’s very kind !!! Thank you 😀
Thank you! I followed you direction how to clean nozzles on my epson printer today. I was very careful, didn't want to mass up anything; even though I spilled a little bit of liquid when I pulled up the cleaning tube from the first nozzle head, but I dried it up as much as I could. I ran clean heads 4 times, and wallah my printer sang:) I first tried on printing out my husband's driving trip direction to Yuma Arizona next week, and it printed out perfectly. I was so happy and on cloud nine, took the print out to my husband and said "honey I did it" and gave him his trip printout! Thanks to you and your video. Much love and light from a happy Retired Marine's wife in Vegas,lol!
You are so welcome ! I hope your husbands trip is a success 😀
@@Theinkrefillexperts I'll tell him, thank you again.
You are very welcome 😀
Thank you SO much! It prints perfectly now. I just cleaned it with some alcohol prep pads that I had and that did the trick.
Great! can you tell the step's you followed. Cause i couldn't get the solutions online 🤕
I have a epson SX415 which when printing or photocopying would just spit out completely blank pages. I ordered your kit and after following the instructions....... my printer is now fully working again ,Great product and easy to use .
Thanks for the review , the kit is proving to be a great success.

This worked for me as the black wouldn't print. The other colours were fine. The black was magically 'cured' but then suddenly the magenta wouldn't print! It HAD been fine! And putting the tube onto it gave resistance and the fluid would NOT go in. You mention resistance and say STOP if this happens. But then what?
Yeah, I’ve replaced black print cartridges twice thinking they were bad but I think it’s the nozzle. Guess I need to buy this kit and give it a try!
Yes please, it’s very easy to do 😀
Thank you so so much. I DID IT!!! I didn't have to ask the teenagers!!! I did it myself and I am useless xxxx
That’s great !! What problem did you have ?
Very informative video. An interesting hint, to warm up the solution, I hadn't tried that. I am unable to get any solution to flow into the Black nozzle All the others seem fine, and I can get the syringe plunger down. There is just too much pressure backing up. I don't want to force it. Will leave it overnight, and try your suggestion of warming up the solution first.
Hi Richard, try sucking up on the black nozzle with the syringe and tube. It may have air blocking it or a very hard bit of ink.
Great tutorial, didn't have time to order the kit etc so just used a pipe cleaner and soaked it in Vodka, It worked an absolute treat, printer as good as new
Was it a little unsteady after?
@@Theinkrefillexperts 🤣🤣
Glad you approve 😂
This sounds promising. Does this kit work with epson wf-3640?
How long does it take to ship to the US?
Currently when I print I am not getting any ink on paper. I had left my printer unused for about an year. It used to work well before that.
Hello, it takes about one week. If that printed works like the one in the video then it will work.
On order. Hope it works. I got a free EPSON XP 625 but it won't print color, black is perfect. I'm hoping this will fix it. Previous owner used non genuine ink cartridges 🙄
It will work 🦾
Great stuff - worked for me.
Thanks 😊
Best guide ever. Thank you very much
Thanks very much, nice comments are lovely to read.
In this video, you seem to just have cleaned the cyan print head. Should we remove the blotting paper and do the whole flushing process with new warm solution for the other 3 print heads as well?
That’s optional but I would advise just a quick rinse through on all because as the video says all print heads may need a clean.
Thanks for your informative video!
You mention not proceeding if you feel any resistance- what’s the next step in this circumstance?
Wait and maybe try suck out instead of pushing.
Buy a Canon
Thnaks for the video, can we use alternative chemicals as clening solution?
Sorry but it’s very important to use printer refresh fluid.
thanks, great video, showing careful camera views. perhaps switching to a clear hose, like used in medical nasal Cannula, to better see.
You are very welcome 😀
@@Theinkrefillexperts these little plastic nips that the are on the printer housing are sometimes delicate. I did find that a Windex spray bottle hose, it fits perfect, but the hose is rigid and I think it caused a break on prtiner nip. The skinny part of the canula doesn't really stretch over the nip and the wider hose part of the cannula is too wide for Epson XP-340. I broke the Cyan nip, and now printer cartridges are not recognized. using a short flexible hose is a good idea it seems.
Did all this,only the black remained clogged,but cleared on repeat,nozzle check improved with each head cleaning,but Im using up all my ink,its a lousy printer the old epson was fantastic and you had software on your computer to very easily fix any problems,and we never had any problems ever.
Great video👍🏼 I already have a cleaning kit but no blotting paper, what is it exactly, where can I find it in sweden, can I use something else instead?
Thanks
You can use kitchen roll, it actually works very very well.
Kit ordered .. let's see how we get on 😀
It will work 😀
Thank you
any substitutes for cleaning solution ? shipping takes too long right now
The tube goes to every head ?? Like every color or just one.?? Thanks
Hello, as the video says you can do each one. It’s best to watch the video in full before attempting to clean.
It’s very easy to follow.
its really worked i hv try in my printer and my printer sart work again
Thanks for the good comment 😀
Do you inject each into each print head? You only did one and said that was fine. And you don't have to wait 24hrs for it to dry?
Hello, as the video says you can do all the lines if you want to, we did one for the purpose of the video. It’s the same method for each line.
Very helpful, thank you!
You are very welcome. Where are you from ?
I have an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 that hasn't been used in a very long time. I can still hear ink swishing in the cartridge but the printer won't print ink. Do you think your product would work to clear up the spray heads? They do look to be covered in ink.
That’s the exact job that it’s meant for 😀
With my old Canon, I could remove the whole print head and soak it in a part ammonia solution. It seems the Epson head not removable.
Much easier to use the printer refresh kit.
Thanks for the message
Hey just wondering if I need a new printer. I did these steps, the solution flowed through without issues. when I printed the my inks stopped working all together . I was only having issues really with Yellow prior to the clean and now nothing works. Did i completely stuff my printer ?
Have you tried running a few head cleans with your printer after cleaning ? This should get the ink flowing again.
This works! Thank you so much.
You are very welcome. Happy to help you.
I just bought another printer instead, worked out perfectly
Definitely easier to unblock 😀
Hi! Tried it yesterday, left overnight on the heads through which the liquid could not pass, and now the situation is the same...are those print heads forever blocked? :(
I found bringing the syringe up to suck up air causes the blocked up printer ink to begin break up.
try to force the solution ink to go in it slowly,every5 minutes force it slowly until all the ink in the head dropps down
Hello , never force it. If I oi are getting resistance then suck upwards.
@@Theinkrefillexperts mine has same problem ,but i only pushed a little and it was fine !
Do you have instructions for an Epson WP-4530? The layout of the hardware is quite different than the model in the video. TY
Hello, can you explain how that is different please ?
Worked great for me but you do need to run the head cleaning program, it took three run through's for my printer.
+utkf16 that’s great. If the printer is very blocked it can take a couple of goes. Which printer do you have ? James
Epson XP422. Its been blocked for months and I was just going to replace but thought Id give the cleaning a chance, glad I did now!
+utkf16 thanks for the feedback. Just out of interest did you have more than one colour blocked ? And if so which was hardest to clear ?
James.
Originally just the yellow but I flushed all the jets and they all cleared without any problems, much easier than I expected. After the nozzle tests the black was not printing properly so ran the cleaning program x 2 still no improvement so changed the cartridge did another clean and all working.
+utkf16 that’s great. The kit Work really well. The yellow is something other kits struggle with but our kit works great on all colours. Thanks for the info.
James
Do you think this would work with my old Epson XP-315 that sat there not being in use for over 5 years? I have already tried to clean and make it work again back then but because it wouldn't work I gave up. Just now that I stumbled across my printer again while tidying up the basement I was wondering if it's time for me to throw it away or if there is a chance to save the environment and get this thing to work again? What are your thoughts?
Yes it would be very very likely to work. Absolutely worth trying it.
@@Theinkrefillexperts Thank you so much for your quick response! I very much appreciate it! I shall try it very soon and will let you know if it worked 🙂
Before I order it, I want to know is it work for Epson WF-2630
Hello , yes it will 🤩
Worked great for me!! Thanks guys; great job :)
That’s great 😃
Helpful video. Do I need to flush all 4 ports as you mentioned all should be done, but video shows one (blotting paper is multi colored)? Thanx
Yes best to do that.
Help please, I’m so confused, I just followed the directions after having issues with no cyan printing out, all other ink colors printed fine. Then after a few head cleanings, still no cyan and now barely any ink at all is printing out. I have tried pulling air up with syringe, letting it soak, more head cleans.. Is it possible I used too much cleaning solution? This is a Epson 7210 with CIS, had it a month and this is the first time I’ve ever had an issue with it. I’ve been working on printers for a decade and still don’t know what I’m doing wrong Thanks guys 🙏
Hi mate, you could let it with fluid in the lines overnight but your issue could be something other than an ink blockage.
Did you ever manage to figure out what it was? I’m having the same issue with my magenta :/
The ink line could be worn/collapsed
I would try running a few head cleans but please remember your printer could be faulty and not blocked.
Awesome! Made my 4 year old printer brand new!
Glad it helped 😀
Hi. Excellent vid. 👍 Will this work for my Epson WorkForce WF-7720 A4 & A3 printer? It is refusing to print black no matter how many times I run a cleaning cycle. Could it have been caused by using non Epsom replacement cartridge? Many thanks indeed. Oh and 3rd question - what size kit would you suggest for this printer and issue. Thank you! 😃
Hello , I would try the XL size , it’s great value.
I genuinely think compatible cartridges are as good as Epson ones.
And yes it will work 👍🏼
@@Theinkrefillexperts Many thanks. Order placed. Fingers crossed it will kick it back into life!
I am sure it will 😀
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks, super helpful video!!
You are very welcome.
I am discouraged because I bought this printer 1/2 year ago, and it quit printing color already. I haven't even gotten through 1/4 of any ink colors. I will have to get some Printer Refresh.
It’s very easy to unblock using the method in the video. It’s a very common issue for Epson printers.
Can I use this with my Epson WorkForce 7710DWF. I'm using a removable CIS System with it. I cannot get the black ink to work anymore!
Hello yes this will work 😀
www.118ink.com/shop/epson-printer-head-cleaning-kits/epson-printer-head-cleaning-kit/
Thank you!
You are very welcome.
Does this work for the EPSON XP440 model? TIA!
Hello, yes it does. Thanks for the message.
Hi, I was able to clean the 3 colour print heads but the Black wont let the liquid through. How do I unblock the print head? You mention in the video that other things will have to be done. Many thanks
Keep trying is your only option. But the ink line could be damaged and not blocked.
These printers should be created with a self cleaning function. Makes no sense to have to do this when the manufacturers know this is an issue.
They can self clean but they use their own ink to clean , meaning a waste of ink and also a build up of waste ink. I am pretty sure they leave the system as it is because they would need to go back to the drawing board to include a different method.
Printer Refresh Ltd I’m sure they will leave the system as is too, but not for the reason you’re suggesting. Thanks for the reply.
Will this kit work on Epson XP-440 and Epson Workforce WF-3620. They both seem to have a print head nozzle issue
Hello, yes it will work on those printers.
If all 4 print heads are clogged, you need to do the same procedure (pour 2-3ml of liquid into each printing head), correct?
And if so, do you need to put new pieces of absorbing layers for each print head?
Hello , yes you have to clean all 4 if all 4 are blocked. You can change the paper if needed , the best paper to use is kitchen roll because it’s very absorbent.
@@Theinkrefillexperts thank you for your prompt reply
Hello,i have a question
I did this and i think that will be better if I wait a few hours after this because physics laws and air in these catridges and etc... Should I?
After you do this , run at least 2 head cleans with your printer please.
thank you!
with catridges or not?
Does this work if you are using sublimation inks in your Epson printer as well?
It’s worth trying 👍🏻
Hello, I tried the exact technique as showed in your video with my Epson wf 7620. At first, only the yellow wasn't printing at all. Since I needed my printer to print again within this week, I used a mix of hot water, vinegar and alcohol to clean it as recommended in another video. After doing all that, still nothing from the yellow but now the magenta and cyan is having a hard time. I'm a poor artist who tries all she can to have her ends meet, can you please tell me if you think that's it's too late for my printer? Thank you.
Hello , I definitely try printer refresh fluid. I am confident it will work.
@@Theinkrefillexperts Thank you!
My black is not printing. Is this something you would recommend I should do? Also I should note that the black somehow leaked into my printer, but it’s not in the path of printing anymore. My prints don’t come out with black smudged on them anymore. My black just isn’t printing. Thanks!
Yes the kit would definitely help !
@@Theinkrefillexperts Does this work on eco tanks?
Yes 😀
I bought your printhead cleaning fluid and did it for all the colors. It worked the first time for all of them except for black, so I left it overnight. Today I cleaned the printhead a few times but now the black is not showing at all. First it was just a few gaps but now it is not showing black anymore. Could you help me?
The black cartridge could need replacing.
thanks for the video. I wonder what it would have been like if you've written 'the hard way"
Well the hard way involves dismantling the printer 😂
i was about to throw my printer off my balcony & this video made me change my mind. slowly but surely the ink is starting to show up again
That’s brilliant 😀
Glad it did not go off the balcony 😂
In the video you attach the hose to the print head. There seems to be several print heads. Do I repeat this process for each of those; or, do this one time only as in the video?
Yes , you can attach and Clean all or just clean the blocked one but it’s important to use printer refresh fluid. X
Thank you
Printer Refresh Ltd,
where to buy printer refresh fluid?My blue and black ink doesn't come out....EPSON L210 is my printer..
www.118ink.com/product-category/epson-printer-head-cleaning-kits/
I bought a kit from you as my epson 342 would not print black. As advised, I cleaned all 4 heads, although only black (almost totally) and magenta(one line) were showing up as poor on nozzle check. Now NONE of my heads will print. Got progressively worse with each flush!! Now getting clean sheet of paper coming through!!!
Your cartridges may need replacing or you could have a faulty print head. It may not have been blocked.
I can’t understand your answer. Before cleaning, black was the only colour that would not print. There was a single line missing in the magenta nozzle check. Now nothing comes through at all during nozzle checks. Can’t understand how you are suggesting my print head was damaged or cartridges are not working when they were previously.
The print head may not have been correctly because it was on its way out. The fluid simply dissolved water based ink, it’s very simple. It could also have moved in down that’s dried. Try sucking upwards with the syringe.
@@Theinkrefillexperts Okay. Drew cleaning fluid up syringe too from each one, then left connected to black all day. Have just flushed through, performed head cleaning routine, and now printing perfectly. Phew! Got there in the end, thanks.
Great 😀
I started to put my ink cartridges in food bags just like u would with a paint roller to stop it drying up again after u get your ink flowing and if you don't use your printer often.p
Hi , can I help ?
@@Theinkrefillexperts all good thanks.
Does this work for WF-2630?😱
Hello yes it does. www.118ink.com
Printer Refresh Ltd everything is working now! I found out the problem. But all of my ink is gone after 2 days of buying.
But all of my papers were blank so how did my ink run out so fast?
Maybe you are using poor quality Ink. Try our Ink www.118ink.com
Printer Refresh Ltd What is a low quality ink in your definition?
Well it’s ok to use compatible ink cartridges but just not the very cheap ones.
Yo please do u have a solution to fix the rollers on the printer,the 2 on the left don’t work while the other 4 do please I need help
What do you mean the rollers ? What’s happening ?
Do you take the blotting paper out after doing each nozzle or after all 4 nozzles. I'm going to try mine tomorrow.
I think I could of prolonged the life of my past printers, instead of throwing them away, if only I knew then that this was a common problem with printers. I'm definitely going to do it in the future before even thinking about throwing mine away, and of course checking the ink tank or tray too.
You can use kitchen roll if you want the best results as it’s super absorbent. You can change when it’s saturated.
Thanks. When I opened the kit there was only one small strip of blotting paper, not a whole sheet like in the video, so I just folded up a normal A4 sheet of paper multiple times and put it under the blotting paper. I also wasn't sure how much fluid to use per nozzle and I used the whole nozzle full just on the black, which was actually the one that stopped printing properly. I didn't know if that was right, but with the others I just used about 0.5ml thinking I had overdone it with the first one.
That sounds good x
This helped so much! Thank you!
You are very welcome , I am really pleased that the video helped you.
I bought 2 epson workforce 3640 and only paid 25 dollars. They print paper but no ink transfer. Now I know how to fix at least one of them. Still an amazing deal considering how expensive they are
Sorry what do you mean ?
@@Theinkrefillexperts I mean the paper will come out but no ink will appear on paper. I think it's just clogging.
It’s probably still blocked. Try running a few head cleans , I hope that helps ?
@@Theinkrefillexperts when I first got the printer I did that. And out of curiosity to dabbed my finger at the area the ink sits (that mesh area you lay the blotting paper on) and it was wet but mostly clear, very little sign of ink which I assume should be pretty thick with ink. That by itself should hopefully be a sign of clogging and blocking on the heads
It would be blocked under the mesh not on top. Your cartridges could also be empty or faulty.
I have a WF 4730 that I can't open to replace the ink cartridges. Any advice would be appreciated
Sorry what do you mean ?
Hi, I hadn't used my Epson WF-2630 in many many months and nothing comes out on paper. It says the black ink is low, but Cyan and Magenta is plentiful. Will this method work or is their a larger problem? I get no errors and I have done the nozzle check and the other one that I can't remember. Nice vid. Thanks.
Hello it’s important that all cartridges have ink in them.
@@Theinkrefillexperts `Thank You for your quick reply. I plan to order some more and I'll let you know what happens. Thanks.
You definitely need to clean it too though.
@@Theinkrefillexperts Thanks! I will let you know.
You are very welcome.
Does this process need to be repeated for each ink terminal?
Diane Maskosky hello , you can just use the fluid on the blocked one if you like.
How do you know which one is blocked?
Good morning Katie , you can tell which one is blocked by looking at your print. For example if everything that should be black is streaky of blurred then that’s the nozzle with the issue. Or if the general print is blurry then all of the print head may be blocked.
The kit we sell has enough fluid to unblock multiple times.
What is your printer doing ?
In the video you only flushed one ink nozzle (the black one). Do I have to repeat the process on the other three ink heads?
If they are blocked then yes. The black one only cleans the black one.
After all these comments I'm ordering a kit for my Epson xp 322, its been packed away for over a year now is now printing blank paper (even with new inc) im confident this is the fault, will report back after I have done my experiment.
I have the same model with same problem yellow and red not too bad but black nothing and blue not perfect. I am waiting eagerly to see your results
Can this kit be ordered in Queensland, Australia? I have an Epson XP 410. Thanks
Hello, we ship worldwide. Many thanks
What size is the silicone tube? I ordered your product months ago and was unable to use it because I misplaced the tube.
What was your order number please ?
@@Theinkrefillexperts 10577

Hello! Will this work on my Epson Workforce Pro WF-3730? Also, which cleaning solution would be better, the green or blue?
Hello if it works like the printer in the video then yes.
Thanks for the message.
@@Theinkrefillexperts Thank you for answering, which cleaning solution would you recommend, the blue or green.
The blue is stronger but we also have one called blockage blaster x
What is the solution used? I have Epson XP-310. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello it’s called printer refresh and is available on 118ink.com
What if you don’t have any of the blue liquid thing that you clean your printer can you use something else that you already have in your house or do you have to use the blue liquid to clean it
Sorry but you need the printer refresh fluid.
where can we buy the kit in the USA?
On 118ink.com
what would be a more thorough clean? I have clean all the nozzles part from one that shows residence no matter how long i leave the syringe attached to the nozzle ... thanks
You would just have to try cleaning again.
@@Theinkrefillexperts I have done so many times but still seems to be blocked the other 3 are fine any ideas?
Try sucking upwards with the syringe empty. Did you use my fluid ?
probably a daft question but should i do this for all 4 heads? im not sure how many are blocked
Hello Jamie , I would definitely do all four.
Many thanks
Hi, I have tried a few times, as you suggested, to clear the black head, but I still can't flush the liquid through. I keep sucking up some ink though, is it that I just have to be persistent and keep trying? Do you think it will eventually clear up?
It should clear, you can also suck upwards with an empty syringe before you clean to see if that helps.
@@Theinkrefillexperts that's what I've been doing, but I've nearly run out of liquid. I wonder if it's worth persisting however long or number of attempts it takes (in which case I need to purchase more liquid) or there is a point where I should just assume it won't clear?
It’s definitely worth persisting if you have more fluid but the printer may not be blocked, it could be corroded or damaged in some other way.
The fluid simply gently dissolves the ink so if it is blocked it will dissolve the issue.
@@Theinkrefillexperts ok, I will have to purchase more fluid then. The fact is that this method worked to clear all the colour heads but it doesn't seem to work for the black. Thank you for your help.
You are very welcome.
Do you have answer to my previous question? Thanks.
What question?
@@Theinkrefillexperts Why is it hard to push solution through tube on nozzle heads? Once I take tubing off solution flows freely. Have Epson XP-310. Thanks.
I cleaned as instructed but now one cartridge slot won't recognize any cartridge. It's definitely the slot, not the cartridge. Should I wait for it to dry out overnight, or? Thanks
It would be worth leaving overnight but the printer could be faulty and not blocked x
Does it work with a Epson WF-3640??
What do you mean exactly. Please explain.
I used the cleaning and when I used the syringe to push the cleaning fluid through, it definately came through each of the four nozzles and left the paper I put underneath soaking wet with different colour inks. I even pulled up on the syringe a few times to draw the fluid back up and down again both ways. I then thought I'd leave it a week or more with the nozzles still wet with the fluid, just to help dissolve any other dried ink that might be there. After a week, I put the ink cartridges back and tried the printer again and still nothing. The print test was no better, maybe worse, but fluid came though each nozzle when I used the cleaning kit, so I thought it should work, but it didn't. Should I try cleaning it again or what. I even opened a new black ink cartridge and it didn't help. I've now been without the printer for 4 months and desperately need to print stuff off for my buisness. Help please.
I am very sorry but if after all that the printer is not working then it is faulty and not blocked because the fluid works pretty quick by dissolving the ink. In this case I would contact Epson.
@@Theinkrefillexperts thank you for your reply.
You are very welcome.
I got an Epson Ecotank 7700 today and it printed well on "normal" paper but when i used glossy photo paper, it left some serious marks on the paper! :( About 8 vertical stripes "creased" on the paper...i dont understand, what might be the problem? I need this to use to work.. hmm..thanks
Just make sure the paper is in correctly.
Also try running at least two head cleans with your printer.
Printer Refresh Okay I only did one head clean, let me try it! Thank you
Hello sir, is it possible to solve the problem of not showing one color in the Epson C5710 printer?
Yes that’s fixable with a cleaning kit.
Now, how can I tell if the print heads are actually damaged? I read on the website that the solution is not good for damaged printheads. Is it possible to fix that problem, or buy spare parts and install them myself?
There’s no way to tell unless you have tried this method of unblocking. If that does not work then it’s most likely damaged.
I did the same steps but still blank page !! Any Advice?
Do at least3 head cleans.
would this work for the epson artisan 837?
Hello if your printer works the same way as the one in the video then yes it will. Thanks
thanks.my problem solved
Hello Roland , Which printer do you have ?
Thanks
I have a epson Workforce 7620, I get a lot of swirled ink spots which I assume is the print carriage changing direction on the paper. I just ordered three of these kits hoping they will help, but I am open to other suggestions also!
Nathan Williams hello , also make sure there is no obvious problem. For example dry or excessive ink where you can actually see. Also make sure no small or even large paper is in the way. Also make sure you are using a good compatible ink cartridge. We sell them on 118ink.com
Thanks
Thank you! It looks like there is no obstructions or excessive ink. Honestly, we have 4 of these in the office and they all do it. So hopefully your cleaner works!
Nathan Williams I would be very confident that it will work 😀
That's made my decision easy. New printer it is. FFS
It’s really easy to clean
Hi friend
1. Is this applicable to Epson L355, L210, L220?
2. My Epson L355 nozzle check does have break in the lines, unlike yours in 3:26 . Will your Printer Refresh Kit help? (the printer wasn't used for months, possibly years. It can still print but the nozzle check isn't as good as the one you showed, it has breaks)
Thank you very much.
Hello if the printer works like the one in the video then yes it will unblock it. Thanks for the message.
At 2:15 where you leave the hose attached for 3-5 minutes *before* pushing the syringe plunger, what is the purpose of waiting 3-5 minutes (there's only air in the hose at that point so I'm curious as to what that wait accomplishes) ?
It works on dissolving dry / blocked ink.
Sir, I have an aged Epson Stylus PX720WD, this machine has given me terrific service but hasn't been used for about 2 years because I had a job change and no longer worked from home. Recently got back into home based activities and required the printer, unfortunately it wouldn't print correctly, missing parts of letters etc. Head clean several times and now it's not printing at all, I sometimes get spots but nothing good. I am at the end of my tether and am about to bin it but am loathe to bin it because I know that it is all my own fault for not storing it correctly. Is there any hope for my once very reliable machine? Apologies for the long winded approach but better you know the saga, perhaps it will help you help me. Thank you.
I would imagine our head cleaner would get your printer back working in no time.

Hello, I had darker lines on blue and black so I decided to clean the
head. I used cartridges filled with cleaning fluid and also I left a
soaked paper towel underneath the head for 6 hours. Nozzle check before
the cleaning was good (just had the lines) but after the cleaning and
printing full pages/doing several head cleans etc black nozzle check is
still bad - missing about 30% of the lines. All other colors reappeared
to 100% but just not the black. Any suggestions please?
Best Wishes!:)
Vesselin Dobrev you should definitely try our cleaning kit.

I ran the whole maintenance process. The test sheet come up perfect, but when printing my pictures, there are line segments of uneven color. Please help! Thanks
Hello , it will most likely need a proper head clean.
