Bingo!!! Because my red nozzle had only just started acting up (out of ink) I adapted your instructions with a piece of folded kitchen roll and it worked like a dream and once more I now have a fully functioning printer. You're printer service legends/gods. Thank you...xo
Fantastic clear and easy instructions. I'm such a fan of my Epson 2500 printer and the quality/sheer number of photos' I can print. I'm going to attempt to fix my blocked red nozzle now and report back...!
That worked! Thx. BTW, I used kitchen towel but I backed it with some clear packing tape to make it stiffer then easier to push through and so no ink would leak through. Also, I had no syringe but I had an eye dropper so I ran a 3/32" drill bit through the end to open up the hole and that clipped onto the nozzle nicely. I did two flushes with the eye dropper. Prints like new now.
Why does no one seem to know anything about ET Eco tank series, ink tank not filling, but seem to know about everything else that I come across, over and over again?
HEllo "guys in the same boat", there is also the power cleaning, switch off, push ? + on buttons till it switches on, then let it wok 10min, done. It uses a lot of ink but saves a lot of time! anyway thanks for this accurate video!
Hi! I wonder if you could help me. I have an Epson ET-M1120 (monochromatic) which I use to print tattoo stencils (many tattoo artists are doing the same wíth these printers). So basically when I set it up for the first time I fill the tank with stencil ink for printers instead of the regular black ink. I didn’t print anything for a 1 month and half and now it’s printing with missing lines. I have done everything, head cleaning, power clean, everything that comes in the manual. Now I’m panicking cause I really need it to work 😭 Anyways I am wondering if I can do this manual cleaning to this specific printer? And (sorry for my ignorance) but should I do it with the ink still in the tank? Wouldn’t it be better to take out with a syringe and fill it again with the ink after cleaning? Won’t the liquid mess up the ink? I would be really grateful for any feedback. Thanks anyways for your videos. 🙏🙏🙏
Hi nice simple video im going to be using my epson 2650 for tattoo stencils so will be changing the black for tattoo stencil ink. will this process work to clean out the lines and black tank so i can print with the new ink?
Hello your tutorial was very interesting and i hope i can fix my problem with my printer. please can you advise which cleaning fluid to use, to purchase in the UK.
I have an Epson ET 2550. It is used, it has a little of regular ink but I want to know if there is a way to flush out all that ink to convert it into sublimation printer and add sublimation Ink. Hope you can help. Thanks.
I would advise you to suck out any remaining normal ink with a syringe and needle and then print until it runs out , then add a little sublimation ink and again print. This is most likely the only way.
what are you using for the liquid to flush the clogged head? seems to be like nobody talks about this enough other than refer a product company for purchase!
I have an eco tank that I haven't used very much and now when I did the nozzle check and everything it was barely printing so I tried to print out something and nothing's coming out. The page is coming out blank. So would I have to do that to each line? And do you have a video to see could it be clogged coming from the actual tank that holds the color because it says that my tanks are almost all full. Help! Thanks very much.
I tried doing this with my eco tank and the nozzle check comes out almost blank :( Any advice? I'm going to call Epson tomorrow about it but I'm quite nervous
Same here, my printer is now completely printing blank pages (not even smudges). I've done over 20 head cleanings and printing over 50 pages and it is still blank.
I have questions for this video . Normally iside still have ink and in combination with cleaner this will be 50/50 ink/isopropyl alcohol .If the cartridge can be removed like normal printer this will be better .
@@Theinkrefillexperts I can’t get anything to flush through seems totally blocked it did at first but now the syringe has pressure and nothing comes out on the paper , it’s the black .
I did this with every line cause my pages where coming out blank. the only color it worked on was the black.When I ran the cleaner through the other lines nothing came out. what can I do next ?
@@Theinkrefillexperts, horizontal lines, different sizes the same pattern all the way across the page and all the way down... like it's seeing a pattern instead of a solid black rectangle. 🤯
It is always the black on many models and blobs black ink as well. Epson has a problem with their design or black ink chemistry is wrong. My ET-7750 it will do it every few pictures then get some that are fine then blob of black again on a print or so. Nozzle checks are good and do a nozzle clean many times a month. I will do a nozzle check and it is good do a clean then a nozzle check again then there is missing black spots makes no sense because it should be good not bad after a clean. I am on my third ET-7750 from Epson the third has a spring that was stuck to the packing tape under the scanner lid so I can't use it because the spring was for something. I have let Epson know this and it is 5 days and nothing from them. So for Epson they have poor customer relations and a poor product. I say do not buy the ecotank models for sure because many models have black ink issues.

Brilliant !

Hello and help. Will this method work with the epson ecotank printers such as the 16600 i don't have cartridges but tanks on my printer
Hello Keekee, it should work. 😀
what are you using for the liquid to flush the clogged head? seems to be like nobody talks about this enough other than refer a product company for purchase!
It’s called printer refresh.

@@Theinkrefillexperts ok thank you!
You are very welcome.
@@Theinkrefillexperts oh! one more thing! do you know whats in the liquid content?
Would this same method work for the eco tank 15000? Also should I try to flush the actual line that comes out of the attachment? Thank you!

@@Theinkrefillexperts thanks!
You are very welcome 😀
I have an Epson ET"710 and can't see a way of opening it up? Am going to phone Epson.... Thanks for your video. I'll be back if there's a way in.
I hope you find a way 😀
what is the cleaning fluid? where do you get it? where did you get the syringe & the soft extended tube???

You would have to do every line that is not showing colour.

You are very welcome, if I can help anymore just ask.
@@Theinkrefillexperts thank you so so much! I definitely will and I'll let you know how it goes I have to build the courage to do it now lol.
No problem 😀

Try running a few head cleans
Same here, my printer is now completely printing blank pages (not even smudges). I've done over 20 head cleanings and printing over 50 pages and it is still blank.
Try sucking upwards with the syringe. It could be air that’s blocking it or your ink could be low !
If this doesn't work, can we order new print heads from Epson somehow?
You would have to contact Epson to find out that for certain but I don’t believe that’s possible , well not unless it’s done professionally.
When i try to flush my red. Ink or liquid comes out through the yellow. Do you know why it does that?
There could be damage to the line, it may not be blocked at all.
I have questions for this video . Normally iside still have ink and in combination with cleaner this will be 50/50 ink/isopropyl alcohol .If the cartridge can be removed like normal printer this will be better .
The method in the video is best, it’s very simple.
@@Theinkrefillexperts Yes easy way for not too much blocked printer .
No, it will work with any blockage. The fluid will displace the blockage.
@@Theinkrefillexperts I can’t get anything to flush through seems totally blocked it did at first but now the syringe has pressure and nothing comes out on the paper , it’s the black .
I would follow the video and leave it overnight. Let me know how this goes please.
Even if there ink in the cartridge it’s okay?
Hello, sorry what do you mean exactly ? Thanks
I have a ET16600 I have done all the things.....the cyan still has blank spots now what?
It could be a damaged print head then and not blocked as the fluid works very simply and will dissolve any blockage.
would this be the same for the 2720?
Yes if it works the same way.
I did this with every line cause my pages where coming out blank. the only color it worked on was the black.When I ran the cleaner through the other lines nothing came out. what can I do next ?
Run a few head cleans please. There’s possible air in the lines.
@@Theinkrefillexperts well that's the same as letting the ink wells run empty > Epsom warns to never do !
Do yo even know what your doing or saying ?
I don’t understand your message.
he’s literally a printer doctor
😂😂
A surgeon 😂
Where are you from ? It’s always interesting to know where my viewers are.
Where do you get a syringe like that?
All available on 118ink.com
I did this but now it won’t print the color at all! What do I do now?
Run a few head cleans. There could be air in the line.
wouldnt the cleaning fluid mess up the ink?
You are cleaning the ink lines not the tanks.
When I print all black it keeps printing out a pattern over and over instead.
What do you mean a pattern?
@@Theinkrefillexperts, horizontal lines, different sizes the same pattern all the way across the page and all the way down... like it's seeing a pattern instead of a solid black rectangle. 🤯
The printer is most likely damaged and not blocked.
@@Theinkrefillexperts, how would it have gotten damaged?
Probably just from use, have you tried contacting Epson?

I say do not buy the ecotank models for sure because many models have black ink issues.
..and this is the easy way?
Yes, any other way would mean totally dismantling the printer or replacing the print heads.
