This video was extremely helpful and informative. However, I would like to suggest adding a note at the beginning about unlocking the printhead. Initially, I was unsure how to do this, as it wasn't mentioned in the video. The person in the video moves the gear to unlock the printhead, which might not be immediately clear to all viewers. Aside from that, this is an exceptionally well-done video. Thank you!
I did this and when I put it back to place I got a printer error 31004 something like that, I use paper towels mostly to clean, maybe I put something back wrong ?
@@BCHTechnologiesI'm most curious to know the best approach to re-priming dampers and head without getting air in the head. Not sure why they designed the dampers the way they did Instead of having a spike on the manifold. I tried charging by pulling through the waste like I do on the l1800. Still not getting all colors. I feel like I'm vapor locked in some channels.
For the life of me I cannot get these dampers back on. I almost started crying. I cant get the little metal bar in the back slot and get the front to lock at the same time. I have already cracked one damper. Please help
Hi there i did all this to clean up the build up ink and now i dont get any ink coming out! How can i prime my cartridges on this same printer?? Thank you very much
i have the model j fusion dtf printer it starts to print normal then slows down to almost a stop. changed cr motor and did the reset still does it after trying 4 different cr motors. any idea what it may be??
Dont do this. Youll get ink all over the motherboard once that ink drips down the printhead. The better way is to remove the ink lines wile the printhead is locked on the capping station. Then suck the ink out the waste line. If you have a vacuum pump setup they will work faster. Once you have the ink out the cartridge. Then remove them. Youll have almost no ink to spill. P.s.leave the spring and clamp the ink lines so the ink wont run out. You can remove the rest as 1 piece.
If your printhead is not waterproofed, it is crucial to extract the ink from the "damper" before removing it. You can use the "flushing syringe" tool to suck ink out. I won't suck the capping station because I don't like the direction of the ink flow. If the printhead is waterproofed, I will remove the damper without further work. While the ink typically doesn't penetrate as far as the mainboard, some cleanup is necessary.
@@BCHTechnologiesI’ve recently removed the 8550 print head to remove a stuck piece of paper. No more paper jam on reassembly, but I think I reinstalled (now) empty dampers. Would this explain why my prints are empty? If so how do I refill them to regain my printing?
Great video, but no info on where to buy good replacement printheads for it!
Thank you for making great videos!! I followed your videos to clean head on my printers and have learned a lot.
You are so welcome!

I don’t see a replacement print head for the 8550 on your website or the new software to install.
I did this and when I put it back to place I got a printer error 31004 something like that, I use paper towels mostly to clean, maybe I put something back wrong ?
Can you give any advise on error code 000031 and it makes this horrible sound and the print head stay in place.

Is there any software needed after installing a new printhead or should it work just like normal?
Yes, you need EPSON adjustment program. Each printhead have a unique sequence number, is very important.

You ever figure this out?

Is your printer based on 1390? You cannot use the motor for L-1800.
How do you get the printer to rel9ad the ink since you cant initialize it again?
