    I appreciate this video but I guess after 8 years and over 100,000 pages printed the printer has had it. It had a good life - the longest lasting printer I ever owned.

    Worked for me. I just used iso. alcohol with a syringe and tubing. It took about 4 head cleanings to make the printer run. WF-3620.

    My EPSON WF-3620 was streaking the colors as it printed, so I cleaned the print head just as you did. I finished putting it back together, but now when I turn it on, it immediately pulls up the Error 0x97 and I can't do anything on the printer. I've taken it back apart and cleaned it a few more times, but it still does the same thing. Any ideas on what I can do?

    I succeed to solve the 0x97 error, on my WF-5620, by doing the cleanning head function sevral time. Like it is said in the user guide.

    I was happily printing and then got a low ink warning, then immediately received the error. Tried the unplug/replug, and the printer head step. No luck. Off to Walmart to see if I can get a head cleaning kit.

      Hey Tim, that's unfortunate, but such is life with inkjet printers :) I moved on to a B/W laser one, and haven't looked back.

    This did not work. I went from only being able to print in color to the 0X97 error and not printing with any color.

    What is the cleaning fluid made of? What chemicals?

    • @AlexInFlatland
      @AlexInFlatland  3 года назад +1

      Not sure to be honest. I'm assuming there's some sort of a paint thinner in there. I've heard people using a mixture that's similar to window cleaners with ammonia. I usually just buy pre-made sets, haven't made my own yet.

      I'm honestly DONE with inkjet printers. I've had about 10 break down over the years. I realized I don't really do color prints very often, so I just opted for a Brother B&W Laser printer.

    I cannot get the printer head carriage to move. It will not move without using great force, at which point it will likely break. How does your printer head carriage move so easily?

    • @AlexInFlatland
      @AlexInFlatland  3 года назад +3

      Sorry I got to your comment this late :( You need to interrupt the power to your printer while the print head is somewhere in the middle. If it goes in the resting position it locks up and won't move. I usually just power on the printer, and while it's doing the start up checks and the print head is somewhere around the middle, I just unplug the power. That way the print head remains unlocked and you can move it around freely.

    • @kittehboiDJ
      @kittehboiDJ 3 года назад

      There is a setting to change ink cartridges that moves the carriage to the center. It's available from the printer front panel.

    This did not work. Still giving me the error code. Interestingly enough, it will print a COPY of something, but won't print a document.

    • @AlexInFlatland

      It did work for me, although judging by the comments, there are mixed opinions. Some people reported that they got it working after running the cleaning cycle several times.
