Howto Flush and Clean a Clogging Printhead Demonstrated

- In this video it is discussed how to clean the printhead of your machine using a method called flushing to prevent clogging. It is demonstrated on an EPSON DX7 head but the method works on any printhead.
We use a liquid called F-ECO/CLEAN AM.CO.ZA FastCOLOUR Solvent Ink, and Pigment Ink Cleaning Solution. Which can be found here:
ecosolventink.c...
To flush out the various parts of the printhead, all you will need is a syringe, and a small tube attached to the syringe tightly that can also attach to the printhead. When you have all your parts together you can take your syringe with the tube attached and fill the syringe. When that is done you can attach it to one of the holes on the printhead - make sure it is secure. Then inject the liquid into the printhead and you should see some colored water coming out of the other side of the printhead. You repeat this process with all the holes for the colors until there is no more color coming out of the printhead and just clear liquid.
Make sure that the place where you connect the cable is always facing up so you don’t get any liquid in the electronic components.
Afterwards you can wrap it in foil or cling wrap - still keeping the connection side up - to make sure you catch any liquid still inside, to prevent a mess.
For the liquid solution and other products be sure to visit AM.CO.ZA.

Why you didn’t clean it in the sink instead of dirtying the beautiful brick??
ma funziona ancora la testa?hai sfondato tutte le linnee con quella pressione
I have a question I'm the operator of iuv compress machine. My problem i don't no how to removed the head from the guard and also the problem i don't no how to removed the dry ink from the head how to possible to removed the dry ink from the head...
If you want buy a new print head do this technique it almost always destroys the piezo crystals inside a Epson head. But if its messed up what do you have to loose. Be extremely careful about fluid getting into the electrical components, cause if you plug it in with fluid you will probably be buying a main board, ribbon cables, print head and a head board.
There are other techniques that are not nearly as invasive nor have the chance of killing a printer. Oh and once you pull a head you get the pleasure of doing XYZ alignments for the next hour.
Just saying
Hi Eric, what would be the best way to clean a head that is slightly clogged? My yellow head got clogged once and I had them come service it, they said it wasn't a big issue and they cleaned it pretty quickly without removing the head. However 1 month later it seems to have started the same issue again.
How often we should clean a printhead?
o is it okay to flush that strong its so scary it might damage the head
i had a really big problem to my head so much clogging but i cant clean it well coz too afraid to that like yours
what is called flushing
?
For this method you need a syringe, a small tube (that fits over the syringe tip) and the liquid solution. As shown in the video you then fill the syringe with the help of the tube to reach the liquid. When you have done that you can attach the other end to a hole on the printhead and then inject the liquid. You will see the liquid solution should come out on the other side, possibly in the colour that you are trying to unclog. Continue injecting the solution for all the other holes until only clear liquid comes out.
Hi,
The same problem is here as well.I am too scared too put that much pressure on the Print Head as it might damage it. Please can any one advise.
Get an engineer for that. Thank you!
I did this metod fjy times only on magenta chanel, and no way to get that waterflow effect, only droplets are comming out.
I try also leaving in solvent for fly hours but didnt fix the isue

What is the inside diameter of the tubing for the best fit on the printhead nipples?
Depends on your printhead. Normally a 4mm tube (inner about 3mm)
i did it like you, but now when i pull water through the print head, the water goes out by 2 colours.. is it damaged now?
:(
Hard to say, because this technique is last method and should not use if clean by machine still works. Anyway, you should not push too hard. And if damaged after wash, it might be damaged before already, only the wash expose it. Because when inside interconnected, most likely is cause by the internal heat melt the components. And blockage will cause internal heat up.
I did this and now my print head cant print
Thank goodness I read this comment before I tried it 🤣
@@CCproV hahahaha that method will certaninly damage the print head, the best way if you want to pass the solution inside the printhead is to push very very gently and then pull more gently to extract the dried ink that clogged the printhead but also have in mind that if your printhead have too much time in use may very well be a time to replace it.
Please my print head is printing to one side even when the material is straight. Please help..
There is no color now in my print head
If you put to much pressure you will damage the head. Put the head on solution and let it rest for a couple hours and then pull with the syringe, dont push just pull.
Omar Peralta what kind printer you have?
I sell printers. And work for big production companies. The printers that i have used are Mutoh, Mimaki, Epson F series, Rollan and Chinese printers. The printheads DX7, DX5, DX6 and Epson 5113 print head.
I have the epson stylus pro 9900 but i want to make the clean in the green channel partially clog. What you thing about the clean process?
If you can, take the head out and with a small syringe push a little portion of cleaning solution on that channel and let it rest for a couple minutes and then push distilled water and install the head again and do a auto cleaning.
