    Thank you very much for this video. My printer quit printing in yellow, which I'm sure was my fault from not using the printer much. But along came a grandson and my wife needs lots of pictures. I don't see this being a problem again from here on.

    For most folks this should do the trick but I tried similar with my old 3640 and I never could get the heads cleared but it sat for long periods between print jobs. If you use your printer a lot you shouldn't have those kinds of problems. The good solution and properly sized rubber hose for the syringe is really important and I found some that was pretty close but not perfect for the head setup on the 3640. The eco tanks use a different setup to feed the ink into the heads but I bet that hose would work for many printers that you can't easily remove the head to clean it.
    Good video, keep up the good work.

    So I have a couple questions, sir I bought your product two of them actually and one if there’s backflush into the syringe, can I use it on the next color or is that bad number two what are all the extra parts for I saw in your video only using the one syringe with the hose that came on it so what’s all the other stuff for? Could you make another video to go some more detail for the flushing of other stuff that uses all those other parts for the Kit, thank you otherwise great video. I hope it works.

      For the jammed paper issue, have you checked out this video on how to correctly load the paper in? th-cam.com/video/xqyKkTTPdgA/w-d-xo.html

      Add cleaning solution to ur capping station just enough to see it sitting on top. Slide ur print head over it. Let soak over night. Run a nozzle check. If problem still there. Repeat. Gotta be care pushing the cleaning solution through the printhead. Could blow a seal. One thing I’ve tried was disconnect my ink lines from the tanks and put them in the cleaning solution bottle and run a printhead cleaning. At that point. I was looking for the best way to clean my printhead. Hope this helps

    What if the colors you've cleaned aren't printing after the power cleaning step? I do a print nozzle check and it's like there's still cleaning solution instead of ink because it's printing wet lines but no color.

    • @VictorNomura
      @VictorNomura 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Just keep printing and soon the cleaning solution will be used out of the Printhead and color will return. You can run a maintenance cleaning run to also speed things up.

    The printed nozzle check is all good but when I print pictures on different papers (same papers I was usinf before tho) the colors are so faded and a little blurie. I miss so much printing beautifull arts 😢

    • @VictorNomura
      @VictorNomura 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The color is faded because there is still cleaning fluid in the print head. Do another cleaning cycle using the printer maintenance screen. (Hope you did this already the first time after flushing with cleaning solution). Your prints will get better as the solution is pushed out. Hope this helps.

    Ok never set your screws where you can knock them into the printer so you spend 5 times longer getting the screw out them finishing the job you went there for, and it is not hard if you use the right tool for the job IE using a phillips head verses a stand for a phillips screw

    Hello! I have a 8550 and I purchased it in August 2021. Today a breaker was thrown...we live in an older home. I have never had ANY issues with the printer and use in very, very often. I flipped the breaker, but the printer NEVER powered back on. I have changed numerous outlets, changed the power cable with another Epson I had, done a long power button press, left unplugged for approximately 2-3 minutes, and connected it to my MacBook with the provided USB. It will NOT power on. My network nor my Mac even recognizes it. Any tips or things I can try? Epson support is closed until Monday. I am devastated its just gone. Thank you!
