Saved my 11-month-old Epson ET-2720 from going to the trash dump. The black ink was completely blocked, and 3 power cleanings and 19 cleanings did not fix it but flushing the black print head with the kit did the trick. Very grateful, especially in terms of saving the printer from going to landfill. Thank you!
the instructions on how to get access to the inside of the printer saved my bacon, some idiot around here (me) apparently dropped a micro usb cable in the paper feed, which I only discovered when I opened it up. The cable has been extracted and the printer is, by some miracle, working great again.
First I cleaned as instructed but after After the Power Cleaning- It works just like Brandon said! Brandon, You are terrific! I'm an old timer and happy I don't have to get a new on or pay hundreds to repair! One thing I didn't realize is that I have to make sure I print often to keep in in good shape!
This video saved my printer (ET-7270)! It was fairly easy but does take persistance. The video doesn't metion it, the instructions do, but you should warm up the solution before using it. Run the print head cleaning program under maintenance several times for it to clear out the solution and print again. I repeated the whole thing twice on 2 colors (yellow and cyan). No new ink refills were needed, and it is printing beautifully again :) I bought the kit off Amazon. It was $25, which was about double the price of the other top searches for similar products, but I went with it because it was the one in the video. Other kits may be just as effective but I didn't want to risk wasting more time on a different product. Thanks again for the very informative free printer support.
Thanks so much, I had an issue where I had a major jam inside the printer and couldn't figure out how to gain access to it. The manual was useless and I couldn't locate anywhere online showing how to open the cover. Your video was so helpful in showing exactly how to remove the four screws. I appreciate it so much!
Thank you so very much. I watched a different video of yours but couldn't find it. I kept searching until I saw your face because I wanted to donate, but not sure if you're still around. Let me know if you are and I will!! It worked so well. I also wanted to say that my printing job was time-sensitive and I didn't have the hose so I hollowed out a kid's medicine syringe enough that it fit over the little spigots and used alcohol to clear them out. Lifesaver! Thank you! Just found out that my voting registry was not in my married name and I have to have it postmarked by Monday so you are the reason that I'm able to vote this election. :) Appreciate you and your video so much!
Actually, you only need to unscrew the two outer screws. The other 2 screws are for the display panel. Thanks for the pen idea. I used this video for getting paper out that was jammed that I couldn't access using any of the Epson instructions. Thanks so much!
This worked for me. Shipped printer overseas and did not set up for a couple of months. No colors were printing. Video was very helpful -- and commenters too! Package insert is pretty useless. After flushing, I tried printing multiple hex code color blocks in BYMC but that was not enough to start ink again. One Power Cleaning brought the fresh ink through. Thank you for finding this maintenance hack. I write procedures and prepared clear instructions. Where may I send them so you can give them to viewers? BIG MAHALO!!!
Thank you so much for this video and the product. I did the procedure and it worked very well. This is another reminder to keep the pressure on these companies to give us the ability to maintain this equipment. I bought the EPSON to preserve the environment as best I can. I did have the unfortunate problem of having the little cable come off and give me the dreaded 100016 error code. I found another site that gave me the solution to that problem and I am up and running on all thrusters. Much appreciated. I have subscribed. Good on you, sir.
I am getting that error also. Could you please let me know the site that you found that fixed the problem? I have looked on several sites and cannot find a solution that works.
This does help. The two middle screws are actually for the control panel, so it's not necessary to remove them, just the outer two.The two connector cables from the scanner came out when I opened mine. I managed to remove the side panel and get them back in. Back to printing!
Hi there!! Watched the video twice. My problem is the cyan tank will not accept new ink. I’ve bought two refills thinking it was a defective refill and the ink will not go in. Help
This helped a lot. My printer was new so I didn’t need a flush and cleaning but upon opening I found that the motor was missing a screw and hand a screw loose. I was able to fish out the missing one and tightened them back up and it’s working all good again! Thank you I was frustrated trying to find a way to open this.
I was already in the process of unscrewing the two under the display panel and then I watched your video and it gave me more insight on how to disconnect the lines etc. One thing to look out for is when opening the top be careful with white strips that connect to the scanner. I did that I’m that guy but I connected them back successfully,I’m use to iPhones and such. Thank you for the insight again. I have not bought the ink solution but I had a blast messing with the lines and putting it back together. Now I know.
Many comments. 1. Excellent instructions in the video - very easy to follow. 2. I had to reinstall the scanner cables as those easily cam out of their slots when I opened the top (getting those cables back in was a hassle). 3. I bought the solution (and new ink) and did the flush of the problem spot (magenta) and it cleaned up pretty well as the video described. 4. Got everything set back up and did nozzle check and printer head realignment fine but no improvement. 5. Have since printed numerous pages to get the magenta going again and still nothing but yellow where there should be reds. 6. I have never had to replace ink in this printer as I don't use the printer that often - mainly because the issue with the magenta and the lack of generating the correct color. This printer is a PITA to say the least - I truly hate it. I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give as to other things to try to get the magenta back on track.
Thank you so much!! I was nervous about taking this on myself but it worked perfectly. I wish I could attach before and after pictures, but my most recent nozzle check was perfect. I have a family full of Epson Eco owners so I know I'll be using your product in the future. I'm not sure if it's because it's a different series, but for my Epson ET-4700 I did not have to unscrew the two inner screws in order to get the printer open. Also, I never EVER leave reviews on TH-cam so this is saying a lot! :)
My ink is full for each color but every time i print , there’s either lines running through out the picture or there’s really small blue dots coming out and it’s not as saturated when i transfer onto my phone case template
Many thanks for your video Brandon, it has saved my Feb 2020 ET-2720 from going to the dump. It was the cyan this time and 10ml of cleaner and one power clean later, all done. Nothing like as complicated and messy a process as I feared! Can I donate?
Your video helped us figure out how to open up the top. Couldn't find those four screws. Had some debris that got into the back and were able to get it out. However, we didn't realize that a couple plastic cables came out on the left when opening it up all the way and got an error code. We figured out how to put it back in luckily and everything is great.
Thanks. I have a ET-2720 that had a paper jam at the head and I could not figure out how to open the top to get in there. Mine only took 2 screws to get it loose and open.
Was able to clean my print heads with the solution per the video. Thanks for making this video. While cleaning my print heads I accidentally lifted the cover too high and my scanner ribbon cables dislodged. It took me awhile to reconnect them because I could not remove the side panel to see more clearly. I hope that you will do a video on how to remove the side panel on printer in case you accidentally disconnect scanner cables on an ET-2720.
I did all the steps and pushed in 20ML solution in Magenta but the Magenta tank is still full and not sure how to empty it to put in new Magenta ink that’s not mixed with solution. I’m confused.
Thanks for a great repair soluton. Just black was ok on my printer. After this fix and 10-12 runs of nozzle cleaning (not power cleaning) all colours works perfect
This was a very informative video, but my Epson ET-2720 problem is more difficult. There seems to be some kind of blue fibrous material obstructing the paper feed pathway, and I have no idea how to get at it for removal or if it is supposed to have a function but became dislodged. In any case, I cannot get any paper to feed through.
@@BestPrinters It turns out I'm still on the two-year extended warranty that I purchased separately. Normally I don't bother paying for such things, but for a refurbished item it seemed like a good idea at the time. So..... off to MicroCenter today.
OMG, You saved me. I love my Epson ET-2720. Im so glad you are on line, you are clear and easy to understand. Thank for haring. I was not looking forward to going to a repair shop. I am new follower.🤩
Do you have any suggestions as to how to open up the back? I have got some tissue paper jammed and I can see it but I can’t reach in to remove it. Thanks
I lifted the lid a bit too high and it disconnected the scanner ribbon data cables! Real pain to put back if you don’t have tools. My Tech experience helped but I certainly wasn’t trying to make more work for myself. Good cleaning kit you’ve come up with.
Thanks for the video. On my printer (ET2721) only the two outer screws need to be taken out to open the printer. I actually ran into this video looking for a way to open the printer, but it was useful to learn how to clean the print head, will bear in mind!
Got it cleaned on two colors. Also had to get rid of all ink in those two. It did get really scary, because when we tried plugging it back in it did not turn on. I thought I ruined it. Was all ready to go get another one. This morning I tired plugging it in and it worked. Now I can do the power cleaning.
I Charged the ET 2720 before putting the ink, how do I reset it to factory setting to start over. I tried unplugging and waiting for a few second and restarting but nothing. thanks any help would be welcome.
Hi I got a question. I did these exact steps but unfortunately when I print no color comes out? What did I miss? I cleaned and cleared the ink cartridges and now it doesn’t want to feed ink. Do I continue printing until the color comes out? Or is there a way for it to feed through?
i started out using this printer for sublimation. I no longer needed it for that as i puirchased a new printer. I didnt want to just throw this one away so i drained all the sublimation ink out of it and put the regular ink in it, going to just use it for a regular printer now. When i got it filled back up with ink and started printing, it printed a few pages but i think it was just the ink that was left in the lines....then it just started printing blank pages...no color, no black, no lines, nothing! i did nozzle checks, cleanings etc but still nothing...even on the nozzle check print page where it asks if there is missing spots, there is nothing at all printed on the sheet....is the printer trashed or do you have any suggestions on what i might could try
No really all you need to do is clean the printhead it's gotten clogged because of the mixture of the two different inks. You can also do deplaning and power cleanings until the ink is back 100%. Also make sure that your ink is totally full when you're doing the deep cleanings or power cleanings.
This being an old video I hope you get this and help me. I bought your cleaning kit. All the ink wells went good until I got to the cyan and it was really hard to get the solution to push through it. After I did a power clean and blue is still not printing. HELP!
Hi Melodye, the solution for your cyan nozzle us to warm up the solution, I recently did a video showing how to do that. You can view it here, th-cam.com/video/hpwiNA_mDR8/w-d-xo.html
@@BestPrinters I did that and still no cyan. I emptied the ink tank and put in fresh ink and nothing. I checked to see if ink tube was blocked, I can pull ink all the way through. But nothing. I did another power wash , nothing. 🤷♀️
Thank you so much ! I will try ! My problem is that my printer prints messy with ink everywhere! Almost like ink bleeding and spot everywhere! Pls make the video about this! I am not mind even to pay for consultation because I print so much for Bussness and this is would be so helpful! Want to thank you for your time , your videos are amazing! You are amazing!
Hi, let me look into this topic a little more and see if I can get you a video next week. No promises, but for now try using the printhead cleaning method and that should solve your problem.
I am not quite sure I got that right: I do have to replace the affected color tank NO MATTER WHAT after this procedure? Even if it is still full? My yellow won't print anymore and the normal nozzle cleaning doesn't do the trick
I followed these instructions and, unfortunately, have disconnected one of the small ribbon connectors at the left side of the scanner assembly. I don’t see where to reconnect or re-insert this cable. I obviously have a scanner error on the display when I power it back on. Any directions for me? Otherwise, this is the 2nd Epson EcoTank that will be thrown in my garbage.
Ok, So I printed and no color comes out. Each time I did a nozzle check less than less color came out until they’re is no color printing. I actually removed the color cartridges that I used to push in solution and they are empty inside which means that the clog is not on its way to the paper. The clog is from where the ink is stored to the cartridges. Meaning the long hose that goes from tanks to cartridges. So how do I unclog that? I regularly use black ink which is why thar is not an issue.
I would tell you a trick just sell the printer and buy the Icolor560 thank me later it would save you a lot of money and your designs would be even better
Thanks for this. I did accidentally pull two of those flat cables out when moving the lid back after removing the front screws. It will pop out of the guides if not careful. I needed to remove the left side panel as an extra step and find where the two cables plugged back in. It was easy enough to do once I figured out how, but I did think I bricked my printer when it happened. My cyan was not coming through after the initial cleaning, multiple blue color heavy picture printings or nozzle checks but after 1x power cleaning all of my colors were printing perfect.
I have ink and all tanks are full. It is old as i have not used it.(Maybe 2 years old but full) It will not print, is this fix doable with said ink? My printer does not even print that sheet for the test that you did? I am frustrated it never worked ever. Had it for 3 years plus.
The yellow stopped printing on my ET2720 even after several print head cleanings. I was going to try your kit but before I did that, I found out if you push the power and the ? HELP button at the same time you can run a 7 minute power cleaning and that fixed the problem! So try that first.
@mrauntyvirus1 you are correct. I ended up having to change the box inside my printer after filling it from the power clean. The best solution has been printing a page of the solid colors sometimes multiple times to clean the heads.
If my printer is printing blank would this help? It started off by printing lighter and now it’s printing blank but it does have ink idk what’s wrong with it.
I performed the cleaning flushed out all 4 colors twice now the cartridges are empty and wont draw ink? I checked the tubes and they are not clogged so why wont it fill back up with ink?
When you say i need fresh ink in the printer how do i get the old ink out of the tank? I also have the 2620 is the process the same for that? Im rather frustrated as i have only had these printer for around 6 months and neither one of them will print 😢one i use for sublimation and the other for every day printing. Thanks for this video it looks to be rather simple. I will order your cleaning kit when i learn how to purge the ink tank
I have several attachments to my kit as well. I just don’t know if I need to take tubes off back of where you place the ink and push through cartridges or another place to start.
Question, i have this issue with this exact printer. but i used sublimation ink. epson did not want to fix it because i used sublimation ink. Will this cleaning solution help my printer?
I came for info on fixing a E-01 error message, paper jam and this video helped me access the inner workings of the machine. Yea, this video was helpful. Oh, there was a small piece of paper off to a corner and I'm hoping that removing it will allow the printer to work.
My printer wasn't printing color but had black and very faint cyan. I have cleaned the printhead with the cleaner and now have nothing. Any suggestions?
I'm not sure I understand the explanation of replacing all of the ink. All of my colors stopped printing (only black works) suddenly after just months of use. I barely used up the color and they are almost completely full still. Does this mean I have to use 3 kits to flush all the colors and then refill all the colors? By the time I risk that, I wonder if it would make more sense to trash it and buy a different brand...?
zit needs to be unlocked, so while your printer is prinitng unplug it. Then go check the printhead it will be unlocked and you will be able to move it.
Question? If I have ink in the printer already but not full , do I still have to fill up with new ink before I proceed to clean? It’s jus two colors no working at all . But it was three, should I jus do all of them to be on the safe side?
Question: I haven’t bought the kit yet but I am probably going to soon. My problem is that the tubes leading into the print heads seem like at least 2 are empty. Is this a problem that lies before the print heads? Or does it pull ink via vacuum and cleaning the heads will resolve the issue with the inkless tubes?
i try exactly what you said and now ,y printer doesn't print all color anymore. i't printing big black square when i print nozzle check or a letter. please help. my computer is crew now
I will try it, but I already refilled the cartridges with ink and flushed the cleaning solution out so I am doubtful this is going to work. I’ll update after I try.
Hello, I have tried your procedure which didn't not seem to clear the blockage...I'm wondering if the blockage is further "upstream" or even in the ink well itself? Is there a way to clear that, maybe using a similar technique? I'm just not sure I can disconnect the well end of the ink line to access it. What else could the issue be if not that? Is there a way to replace the ink cartridge? Thanks for your advice!
I did the cleaning like in the video, but now I have the problem that there is no ink in these white containers and the printer won't fill them again. Tank is full enough. Do you know where the problem is?
And adults should wash their hands after using the bathroom and I should be a wealthy not rich and we shouldn’t have to work until 67 and we should be able to get all of our SS money we earned and happy meals should have the toys inside without me having to check the box. Should should should.
Hiiii I used product , I ran 1 nozzle check magenta still clogged I guess, proceeded to run another printer cut off befor it can feed paper. And won’t power back on. I unplugged and re plugged nothing. Ummmmmmmmm. I can’t rate anything because I’m not sure if the product worked what’s going on with printer now

Very true, u only need to remove the first 2 screws he took off to get in

If the white sponge block under the 4 black prongs is full of ink, can that effect your printer?
How do you clean the eco tank 2720 tank windows to be able to see ink level?
You cant from the inside.
What if I get no printing at all ?

i have the ET-2760 printer. WHERE CAN I GET the (free/no code) adjustment program to reset the wic?
Try eBay
My ink is full for each color but every time i print , there’s either lines running through out the picture or there’s really small blue dots coming out and it’s not as saturated when i transfer onto my phone case template
Worked like a dream! The Power Cleaning at the end makes it work so don't forget to do it
Perfect!
Many thanks for your video Brandon, it has saved my Feb 2020 ET-2720 from going to the dump. It was the cyan this time and 10ml of cleaner and one power clean later, all done. Nothing like as complicated and messy a process as I feared! Can I donate?
Perfect! Glad to hear this!
Right to repair is SO important. Thanks for the video!
Amen
You explained every thing right, I just hope I can do it myself. Now all I got to di is order the Cleaning Kit.
yes
Hi, in my printer Y, M and C don't print. After the clean with product do I Need to change the color even if my tanks are full? Thanks💪
Hi, if your tanks are full no need to change the ink. Just make sure they are topped off. Also make sure to run a power cleaning after using the kit.
Worked like a charm after the flush and running a power clean, you saved my printer thanks!
Great to hear!
This video and this comment saved my printer!! Thank you 💚💚💚💚💚
Your video helped us figure out how to open up the top. Couldn't find those four screws. Had some debris that got into the back and were able to get it out. However, we didn't realize that a couple plastic cables came out on the left when opening it up all the way and got an error code.

Ok good!
Thanks. I have a ET-2720 that had a paper jam at the head and I could not figure out how to open the top to get in there. Mine only took 2 screws to get it loose and open.
Thanks for sharing!
Was able to clean my print heads with the solution per the video. Thanks for making this video.
While cleaning my print heads I accidentally lifted the cover too high and my scanner ribbon cables dislodged. It took me awhile to reconnect them because I could not remove the side panel to see more clearly. I hope that you will do a video on how to remove the side panel on printer in case you accidentally disconnect scanner cables on an ET-2720.
I did all the steps and pushed in 20ML solution in Magenta but the Magenta tank is still full and not sure how to empty it to put in new Magenta ink that’s not mixed with solution. I’m confused.
Run a power cleaning after using the solution. That will flush everything out.
I purchased your kit and I’m trying this today, let’s see how it goes, hopefully I can fix the problem 🙏
Good.
Thanks for a great repair soluton. Just black was ok on my printer. After this fix and 10-12 runs of nozzle cleaning (not power cleaning) all colours works perfect
Perfect!
This was a very informative video, but my Epson ET-2720 problem is more difficult. There seems to be some kind of blue fibrous material obstructing the paper feed pathway, and I have no idea how to get at it for removal or if it is supposed to have a function but became dislodged. In any case, I cannot get any paper to feed through.
Hmm, maybe getting help from a certified technician might be the answer.
@@BestPrinters It turns out I'm still on the two-year extended warranty that I purchased separately. Normally I don't bother paying for such things, but for a refurbished item it seemed like a good idea at the time. So..... off to MicroCenter today.
OMG, You saved me. I love my Epson ET-2720. Im so glad you are on line, you are clear and easy to understand. Thank for haring. I was not looking forward to going to a repair shop. I am new follower.🤩
Glad I could help!
where can you get another plastic ink holder. the bottom of my yellow broke off
eBay
I haven't used my print in a year with full ink level, how to I place it, or empty the old ink.
The only thing to do is clean the nozzles and install new ink until the reservouirs are full.
hi i brock the plastic clear sheet that goes on top of the printer can i run the printer without it
Techinally yes
@@BestPrinters thank you
Do you have any suggestions as to how to open up the back? I have got some tissue paper jammed and I can see it but I can’t reach in to remove it. Thanks
Try some extendable tweezers or pliers. You dont want to take much apart back there.
@@BestPrinters thanks, that’s what we did and it is all good now..
I lifted the lid a bit too high and it disconnected the scanner ribbon data cables! Real pain to put back if you don’t have tools. My Tech experience helped but I certainly wasn’t trying to make more work for myself. Good cleaning kit you’ve come up with.
Sorry that happened, thank you the kit was revamped recently so you should have much more in this kit vs the one in the past.
Thanks for the video. On my printer (ET2721) only the two outer screws need to be taken out to open the printer. I actually ran into this video looking for a way to open the printer, but it was useful to learn how to clean the print head, will bear in mind!
I am glad this video was helpful. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe!
Got it cleaned on two colors. Also had to get rid of all ink in those two. It did get really scary, because when we tried plugging it back in it did not turn on. I thought I ruined it. Was all ready to go get another one. This morning I tired plugging it in and it worked. Now I can do the power cleaning.
Great!
Is this still the right video for Epson 2720? I just got solution.
Yes
So can I just clean the print heads like that? All my ink is full from my last fill, its just the print heads.
Yes
I Charged the ET 2720 before putting the ink, how do I reset it to factory setting to start over. I tried unplugging and waiting for a few second and restarting but nothing. thanks any help would be welcome.
Sorry I wasn’t able to get to your message. Please create a new comment with the same question if you still need a response. Thank you!
Hi I got a question. I did these exact steps but unfortunately when I print no color comes out? What did I miss? I cleaned and cleared the ink cartridges and now it doesn’t want to feed ink. Do I continue printing until the color comes out? Or is there a way for it to feed through?
My Eco Tank printer still printing colors but all words are flurry, double lines. Do you have any solutions? Thanks
Yes the instructions in this video will help.
i started out using this printer for sublimation. I no longer needed it for that as i puirchased a new printer. I didnt want to just throw this one away so i drained all the sublimation ink out of it and put the regular ink in it, going to just use it for a regular printer now. When i got it filled back up with ink and started printing, it printed a few pages but i think it was just the ink that was left in the lines....then it just started printing blank pages...no color, no black, no lines, nothing! i did nozzle checks, cleanings etc but still nothing...even on the nozzle check print page where it asks if there is missing spots, there is nothing at all printed on the sheet....is the printer trashed or do you have any suggestions on what i might could try
No really all you need to do is clean the printhead it's gotten clogged because of the mixture of the two different inks. You can also do deplaning and power cleanings until the ink is back 100%. Also make sure that your ink is totally full when you're doing the deep cleanings or power cleanings.
This being an old video I hope you get this and help me. I bought your cleaning kit. All the ink wells went good until I got to the cyan and it was really hard to get the solution to push through it. After I did a power clean and blue is still not printing. HELP!
Hi Melodye, the solution for your cyan nozzle us to warm up the solution, I recently did a video showing how to do that. You can view it here, th-cam.com/video/hpwiNA_mDR8/w-d-xo.html
@@BestPrinters I did that and still no cyan. I emptied the ink tank and put in fresh ink and nothing. I checked to see if ink tube was blocked, I can pull ink all the way through. But nothing. I did another power wash , nothing. 🤷♀️
Hello. I tried ordering it but for unknown reasons it won’t ship to my address in Illinois in USA
Try using this link. geni.us/ShopCleaningKit
@ thank you so much!
Thank you so much ! I will try ! My problem is that my printer prints messy with ink everywhere! Almost like ink bleeding and spot everywhere! Pls make the video about this! I am not mind even to pay for consultation because I print so much for Bussness and this is would be so helpful!
Want to thank you for your time , your videos are amazing! You are amazing!
Hi, let me look into this topic a little more and see if I can get you a video next week. No promises, but for now try using the printhead cleaning method and that should solve your problem.
So need to know will this work on the ET 16650 as well?..
Absolutely.
I am not quite sure I got that right: I do have to replace the affected color tank NO MATTER WHAT after this procedure? Even if it is still full? My yellow won't print anymore and the normal nozzle cleaning doesn't do the trick
As long as you are half way full you should be ok. Totally full to be extra safe.
@@BestPrinters thank you!
Hi Brandon, how could I set up a fresh ink install?, cuz it's almost full of the clogged color, I'm lost. Thank you for your help!
I figured out, but your suggestion is empty out the tank and then refill it with the new ink?
Hi, when you do a power cleaning it will drain some ink and that is the ink you will need to replace.
I followed these instructions and, unfortunately, have disconnected one of the small ribbon connectors at the left side of the scanner assembly. I don’t see where to reconnect or re-insert this cable. I obviously have a scanner error on the display when I power it back on.
Any directions for me? Otherwise, this is the 2nd Epson EcoTank that will be thrown in my garbage.
Find a picture online of the connections and replicate what you see.
Ok,
So I printed and no color comes out. Each time I did a nozzle check less than less color came out until they’re is no color printing. I actually removed the color cartridges that I used to push in solution and they are empty inside which means that the clog is not on its way to the paper. The clog is from where the ink is stored to the cartridges. Meaning the long hose that goes from tanks to cartridges. So how do I unclog that?
I regularly use black ink which is why thar is not an issue.
Try running a power cleaning.
Having issues..this helped allot going to order and try it as I homeschool and do allot of printing..appreciate it GOD BLESS YOU
You are so welcome!
Hi, my Epson eco tank cyanine and magenta are clogged, so I required two cleaning kits
? or one would be sufficient
One kit should be enough, just 50 ml on each color.
watching this makes me hate my printer even more. I've used it only a few times and the ink won't print. I should not have to do this. argh
Same here so frustrating!
Same
Use the printer regularly, and you won't have this problem. Let it rest for weeks and months, the ink will clog up.
I would tell you a trick just sell the printer and buy the Icolor560 thank me later it would save you a lot of money and your designs would be even better
@@stighaaland5357 i used this printer every other day for 1.5 years and it's been nothing but problems since day one...
Thanks for this. I did accidentally pull two of those flat cables out when moving the lid back after removing the front screws. It will pop out of the guides if not careful. I needed to remove the left side panel as an extra step and find where the two cables plugged back in. It was easy enough to do once I figured out how, but I did think I bricked my printer when it happened. My cyan was not coming through after the initial cleaning, multiple blue color heavy picture printings or nozzle checks but after 1x power cleaning all of my colors were printing perfect.
Great job, I am glad you were able to get back all your colors.
How do you remove that left side cover?
I have ink and all tanks are full. It is old as i have not used it.(Maybe 2 years old but full) It will not print, is this fix doable with said ink? My printer does not even print that sheet for the test that you did? I am frustrated it never worked ever. Had it for 3 years plus.
How long until colors show again? I’ve printed a couple papers and only red is showing
You may need to run a few power cleanings.
The yellow stopped printing on my ET2720 even after several print head cleanings. I was going to try your kit but before I did that, I found out if you push the power and the ? HELP button at the same time you can run a 7 minute power cleaning and that fixed the problem! So try that first.
Great!
Worked for me as well!!!!
Don't do a power clean! It will fill your waste tank to fast and when that's full, your printer will stop working!
@mrauntyvirus1 you are correct. I ended up having to change the box inside my printer after filling it from the power clean. The best solution has been printing a page of the solid colors sometimes multiple times to clean the heads.
If my printer is printing blank would this help? It started off by printing lighter and now it’s printing blank but it does have ink idk what’s wrong with it.
Yes that is the exact problem this cleaning kit fixes.
I performed the cleaning flushed out all 4 colors twice now the cartridges are empty and wont draw ink? I checked the tubes and they are not clogged so why wont it fill back up with ink?
Hi you will need to run a power cleaning on your machine to get the colors pushed back into the system.
Thank you this was a great video and it worked. Do I have to run a power clean or prime the cartridge after flushing?
Yes run a power cleaning, that will push the ink back into the printhead.
I don't see where you empty the ink tank and replace it as you stated in the beginning of the video. Did I miss something?
No you dont need to empty the ink tank, you need to empty the printhead.
When you say i need fresh ink in the printer how do i get the old ink out of the tank? I also have the 2620 is the process the same for that? Im rather frustrated as i have only had these printer for around 6 months and neither one of them will print 😢one i use for sublimation and the other for every day printing. Thanks for this video it looks to be rather simple. I will order your cleaning kit when i learn how to purge the ink tank
Hi, so all you need to do is just make sure the ink tanks are full, the old ink is ok. You dont need to remove the old ink.
Hello I followed the steps, use the cleaning solution, install new ink and black is still not showing. What else should I do?
Do another cleaning with warm solution on the black nozzle.
Is there a way to clean the tubes that run from ink in front to the print head?
Yes but I dont have an instructional video on how to do it, my kit has an attachment for that though.
I have several attachments to my kit as well. I just don’t know if I need to take tubes off back of where you place the ink and push through cartridges or another place to start.
Question, i have this issue with this exact printer. but i used sublimation ink. epson did not want to fix it because i used sublimation ink. Will this cleaning solution help my printer?
Yes it will.
Hi! Would the cleaning solution will be stuck in the cartridge?
No it will be flushed by the power cleaning!
How to remove ink in compartment to add fresh ink
Do you have a video to help with horizontal alignment? My 2720 will not align horizontally.
I came for info on fixing a E-01 error message, paper jam and this video helped me access the inner workings of the machine. Yea, this video was helpful.
Oh, there was a small piece of paper off to a corner and I'm hoping that removing it will allow the printer to work.
Awesome!
My printer wasn't printing color but had black and very faint cyan. I have cleaned the printhead with the cleaner and now have nothing. Any suggestions?
What if the clog is in the line instead of the print head?
There are tools on the kit that will allow you to clear the line as well.
I'm not sure I understand the explanation of replacing all of the ink. All of my colors stopped printing (only black works) suddenly after just months of use.
I barely used up the color and they are almost completely full still. Does this mean I have to use 3 kits to flush all the colors and then refill all the colors? By the time I risk that, I wonder if it would make more sense to trash it and buy a different brand...?
No just use 10 ml for each color at a time. You only need one kit!
how did you push the print heads over? I tried and mine won't budge
zit needs to be unlocked, so while your printer is prinitng unplug it. Then go check the printhead it will be unlocked and you will be able to move it.
@@BestPrinters Oh i see. Thank you!
Question? If I have ink in the printer already but not full , do I still have to fill up with new ink before I proceed to clean? It’s jus two colors no working at all . But it was three, should I jus do all of them to be on the safe side?
Do you know how to get access to the waste pad tubes to bypass and put a tank on ?
Can this help for clogging?
Yes!
i have a et 2720 and i can not get the ink to go in to the printer i put the bottle on and it just stays in the bottle any idea why??
Wiggle the bottle and rotate while filling.
Question: I haven’t bought the kit yet but I am probably going to soon. My problem is that the tubes leading into the print heads seem like at least 2 are empty. Is this a problem that lies before the print heads? Or does it pull ink via vacuum and cleaning the heads will resolve the issue with the inkless tubes?
Yes, you guessed correct.
Can this process will be the same for Epson ET-2710?
Yes
Will this unclog the tanks
It will unclog the printhead.
i try exactly what you said and now ,y printer doesn't print all color anymore. i't printing big black square when i print nozzle check or a letter. please help. my computer is crew now
Hi I’ve tried this 4 times and still have lines missing from black - thoughts?
You will now need to run a power cleaning.
I will try it, but I already refilled the cartridges with ink and flushed the cleaning solution out so I am doubtful this is going to work. I’ll update after I try.
Didn’t work right away, maybe after letting it rest for 24 hours…
@@BestPrinters 3 power cleaning later I still have 3 segments out. Thoughts? Am I screwed?
Hello, I have tried your procedure which didn't not seem to clear the blockage...I'm wondering if the blockage is further "upstream" or even in the ink well itself? Is there a way to clear that, maybe using a similar technique? I'm just not sure I can disconnect the well end of the ink line to access it. What else could the issue be if not that? Is there a way to replace the ink cartridge? Thanks for your advice!
Repeat the cleaning and run a power cleaning after each cleaning. Do this until the color returns.
@@BestPrinters will do, but if it continues to not work...can the blockage be further upstream or in the ink well itself? Thanks for your guidance!
What do I do if one of the colors isn't showing up at all? I did the cleaning with the kit but it's still not showing up!
After using the cleaning kit you need to run a power cleaning.
Tried the flushing but it is still not working? Any thing else I can try??
Power cleaning.
I did the cleaning like in the video, but now I have the problem that there is no ink in these white containers and the printer won't fill them again. Tank is full enough. Do you know where the problem is?
So now to get the ink pushed back into the system, you will need to run a power cleaning.
How to I get my 2720 open for fake paper jam.
There should be a panel on the back.
You shouldn't have to that it should work for the price you pay for it to begin with .
And adults should wash their hands after using the bathroom and I should be a wealthy not rich and we shouldn’t have to work until 67 and we should be able to get all of our SS money we earned and happy meals should have the toys inside without me having to check the box. Should should should.
Use the printer regularly, and you won't have this problem. Let it rest for weeks and months, the ink will clog up.
Hiiii I used product , I ran 1 nozzle check magenta still clogged I guess, proceeded to run another printer cut off befor it can feed paper. And won’t power back on. I unplugged and re plugged nothing. Ummmmmmmmm. I can’t rate anything because I’m not sure if the product worked what’s going on with printer now
Leave off for 24hrs and then attempt to power on.
Great video, I will try to fix my printer issue... Thank you for sharing it 🤛
Thanks for watching!
