Kevin, I discovered what I did that caused my WF 7710 to malfunction (see my comments just below) after I completed my inkjet print head replacement. Anyone might easily do as I did and get the same problem. There is a transparent strip of plastic, about 5mm wide that runs the length of the cartridge carrier path. The cartridge carrier has a sensor looking at this strip as the carrier moves. When I did my head removal and replacement, I got smudges of ink on this plastic strip. This caused the failure of the printer to initialize resulting in a 000031 error. Cleaning off the ink smudges from the plastic strip solved the problem. Thanks again for your excellent video.
Thanks for sharing. There is another cause for 000031, which is the cap station (waste tank assembly) stuck to the bottom of the printhead carriage. I have a video here: ruclips.net/video/-DvsptHbY1w/видео.html
@@BCHTechnologies I wanted to kindly ask does a faulty print head cause the printer(WF7610) not to power up? I did conduct multiple head cleaning and it shut down. When l power it up it lits up or a sec then its off
I have a question. I switched a printhead from my donor wf7710 to my current wf7710 and did step by step of your video. When I power it back on, it shoots left, somewhat hard, and gives 2 different error codes. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you Kevin at BCH! This is a great video. I followed it to the letter and replaced my 7720 printhead with one that I purchased from AliExpress as a new printhead. After I replaced the printhead, I turned on the printer and got the "print head might need maintenance" message". pressed "OK" and it continued just fine. Sadly the printer didn't print a single line when I did a nozzle check and then a print head cleaning. I did the nozzle check twice and nothing changed. I am no longer getting the 00031 error but I suspect that the "new" printhead is really just bypassing that error somehow, however, I will let the printer sit overnight and hopefully it will work. Even if it does not work, this video is an excellent reference guide to those needing technical repairs and maintenance. Thank you again. I appreciate the help.
I’m having this same issue. I didn’t replace the print head but I took it all apart to give it a deep cleaning. Set the print head to the side and didn’t touch it. But I was getting black and yellow to print before. Now that I’ve put it all back together I’m getting no ink at all. Hopefully I can refollow this video and get it to work
I watched several videos on how to remove printheads as mine were clogged and yours was by far the very best!! You did not skip any step and patiently explained and SHOWED where to or how to find connections and snap things out easily! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am desperate to get this thing printing again! I cant afford a new printer $$$$. And the captions are excellent, Im Deaf and it was super clear.
Hey Kevin, my WF-3640 stopped printing so I ordered the cleaning solutions, did all the cleaning, still clogged nozzles. Tried cleaning the nozzles multiple times. Finally I ordered my printhead replacement, followed your directions to a T, put it back together and holy cow, it worked! Thanks for your help!
I watched this video first, then others, came back to this one cause its clearly the best of all available. After watching this twice I changed the printhead in less than 10 minutes! Thank you Kevin, well done!!
My cyan print head clogged, and I followed these instructions for removing and replacing my print heads.. Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your clarity in taking this apart and putting it back together. I did have a little difficulty initially where I was getting an error and the whole unit wouldn't re-set once I turned it on, but I took it apart again (so much easier the second time), double checked everything was attached and seated, and actually had to do this a few times, until finally it took! Not sure what I did the fourth time vs the first, but hey. It worked. For those who are cleaning a print head instead of replacing it, I had to run maintenance about four or five times before I started getting ink again. Woohoo!! Glad to have my printer back and to not have to replace it now. Only had this printer a year! My Canon printheads NEVER clogged (in literally ten years of usage of the same machine), but I've always heard Epsons can be prone to clogging. Guess I've just found out how true that is! Thanks again for this video! It really helped!
Thank you so much for this video. Being a non technical person, your video convinced me in ordering a new printhead and installing it. Following your clear and calm instructions I just managed to replace it in less than 15 minutes. You are really good at what you do and how you do it. And as a singer and sound woman your calm and steady voice helped a lot. Thank you sir.
You are welcome! I made a video showing people how to buy printheads. I know it sounds unnecessary, but I buy printheads daily, and the market is WILD! I made a video showing how to protect yourself and get the printhead you need: ruclips.net/video/8GFTccfqKpE/видео.html
Great tutorial! Thanks to your expert step-by-step instructions, my printer issues have been resolved! Fyi to others .. I did have to run the printer through a couple cleaning cycles but after that, only the black was printing the test pattern. One of my cartridges was low so I replaced it. The printer went through the cycle of preparing the ink system and after that was complete, all colors printed.
Great instructions. I followed every step and replaced the print head, now the pages come out blank. I did 4 nozzle cleanings so far and still nothing. The new print head matches the old one, do you have any suggestions 🤔 any help would be appreciated.
Hello how can i replace the 3 pin FFC underneath the starwheel. I already disassemble my EPSON 7710 printer, thanks to your tutorial. I bought the cable on your BCH website. As of now, the printhead is still stuck on the right corner. I dont know if there are some screws to remove underneath the printer head for me to remove the starwheel cover.
Hi Kevin Great Video!!!! I just discovered that there was a short on the left side strip for the print head. It looks like 2 pins burned. So I imagine the white strip needs to be replaced, which goes from the printhead to the other side of the printer. Do they sell new strips? Also, not sure how to remove/ reinstall strip on the opposite side (hard to see). Any advice
Hola! Me gustan mucho tus videos!!! Tengo una WF 7710 con sistema adaptado para sistema continuo. De un día para otro tras haber arreglado la falla de flas atasco de papel, me dejo de imprimir, los inyectores están destapados y el cabezal también, pero no me imprime nada… por favor ayuda!
Kevin, thank you for your great videos. I my WF 7720 printed a white sheet. Online said it was the main board. I have switched out main board and when I took out print head it was saturated with in. I let it set in alcohol and it seemed to clean it out. I had already order one when I discovered this. Today I hooked up everything and absolutely no power. I switched outlets and did basic checks. Can you please help me??!?! Thank you sir.
Thanks for the clarity on how to change the printer head of wf-3640. I just changed mine, however, 0x9a error shows up? Is the new printer-head bad? thanks
Great video!! We followed all the steps exactly, and the printer is not printing! Only blank pages. Tried several head cleanings and printing purge images. Please help!
After following your video I was able to take out the printhead and cleaned it up. But when I put it back it is not printing anything even after 8 - 10 print head cleaning cycle. Not even a small dot of ink is coming on the paper. I levelled the printhead too, took out and screw it back one by one but no success. Please help me what else could have gone wrong
For people who have the wf-7010, it is a little different (less parts to remove)but the similarity is the contact tab (or holder board) removal on 4:04 or 4:06 (and pause it) but on both sides (plastic pointing up with a little tab on top). I wished you showed the tab a bit longer to see. It is the top part of the tab that needs to be pushed in on both sides which is hard to see if you are looking at it from the top. The wire tape needs to be remove on the right side first or else it is on the way and cannot slide upwards. I had a hard time discovering it that I like to at least tell other people who likes to replace or clean their Printhead on wf 7010. Ones the tab is removed, it is pretty self explanatory removing the printhead with 3 screws.
Thanks for this but do you also have a video for print head removal on an Epson Nx515? Mine is very clogged and it would be easier to try to clean or replace if I could remove it. thank you.
i have a Epson ET 4750 and i replaced the print head and i did an alignment test and the horizontal test print out all has spaces between the bars and when i print with plain paper i get horizontal lines equal spaced down the print out....do i have to align the print head itself ??? please can you advse
Hello. I Iove this video, because it demonstrates every step for a complete beginner at a process such as this. However, the only information I would find very helpful, which is not listed are the details of the screwdriver you use in this video. Could you, please provide details of the screwdriver you use in this video? Oh, II guess I should mention it is an Epson WF7710 printer I have. Thank you
Good morning, very explanatory, the way of making the video and the explanation helped me a lot, I have a problem with the Epson wf-7710 printer, dial the code 031008 and I don't know what to do anymore, thank you very much for your prompt help. From Venezuela - Rubio
After a print head short on my WF-7720, I ordered new printhead and cables from AliXpress as it was the only place I could find that would send them to New Zealand. I fixed the fuse one the mainboard, and reassembled with new parts, and the machine makes it look like it's printing, but fires nothing at the page. The new head does have ink in it, as I can take it out, and blot it to check. So I disassembled the old print head and cleaned, dried that, and put it back in. That throws an error 34503, which I cannot find any useful information on. Stuck with an expensive lump of e-waste. The nearest agent is over 2 hours drive away, which at current fuel prices is more than the printer is worth! What do I do? Buy a Brother?
034503 MEANING=" Contact error at I/S clutch operation" DESCRIPTION="E Ink system failure". It is an ink system failure. You probably pulled out the ink contact cable while installing the printhead.
I followed your very clear instructions, got everything back together but now when the printer starts up, in the initial sequence of operation, the cartridge carriage moves to the far left, there is the sound of gears not meshing and the printer faults indicating a "error 31". I see what looks like a tiny LED opening at the far right of the printer that might be for carriage alignment purposes. I suspect that I have altered the carriage alignment and the LED is not able to see what it should see. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the video, I was able to replace the print head easily. Everything seemed to fit properly back in and I was very careful, however now I just get blank pages when printing (at least 2 of the colours were working before). Might there be a common issue, or did I get a dud print head?
It depends on where you get the printhead. Many of them come with wetter solution filled inside, so the printhead will not dry out during storage. You will need a couple of cleanings before seeing any color.
Hi, Kevin. I loved the insight and guidance during your video. Only one thing is missing. When you reinstalled the circuit board, your video did not show when you reattached the connector to the circuit board.
Hi Kevin, I had a WF3620 Epson printer. Days ago the message 0x97 was shown to indicate the clogged printer head. I followed your instructions, took out the printer head and soak in the water, also clean it with clean liquid. But after I installed back, I even changed a set of new ink(remanufactured one), it turned out print blank page. What did I do next? No any error msgs were shown.
Thank you so much, I got my print head replaced easily enough but when I plugged my printer back in and it came on the whole printer apparatus slammed into the left side of the printer and the screen said there was a problem to turn off printer. Any idea what could have happened?
Excellent tutorial...quick question. I have an epson workforce 1100 where all inktanks are not recognized, the inktank holder does not dock properly after staring up, it goes left right under the plastic divider from the docking area, and ink light is always on, green power light flashes...thoughts anyone ? Thanks in advance.
Yes, absolutely... if you do it right. I won't use windows cleaner because it is not filtered. I will use a professional cleaning solution, filtered to 0.22 micron. Then I will put it inside the printhead overnight and let it do the work.
0x9E error, i didn't even install a new print head. just replaced some ciss carts (out with old in with new). printer was off during the swap. now it does this.
Unfortunately my black nozzle "nipple" on my epson wf7620 broke off. Could I possibly super glue it back on if done carefully? I was thinking I could hold it where it needs to go and only glue the outside edge of the "nipple" so glue would not get inside of the inks pathway. Please let me know what you think! Thanks!
Are there instructions for removing the printhead carrier somewhere? The CR drive cable in my printer snapped, and I see that you sell replacements on your website. I think I could replace this if I removed the carrier, but I don't know if that can be done easily, so I would appreciate any insight you could provide into how to do so.
Merci, je ne sais pas encore si je réussirai mais la vidéo est parfaite tant au plan pédagogique qu'au plan technique. Vous n'avez pas répondu à la question tres interressante: Peut-on nétoyer les tête de cette manière??? Merci encore pour tout JJB
Can you please help me? My printer printed fine until my magenta nozzle in the printhead broke off. I ordered a new one and installed it per your video. Now it wont print at all, is there anything more I can do? Ive run a nozzle check and cleaned the print heads and it doesnt print anything at all on a nozzle head check. i have the epson wf-7620
The little finger is the ground. If you get ink or water at the yellow color‘s base, it will short out. That’s where the power comes into the address module.
Hi Kevin, Your videos are the best when it comes to Epson. Recently I acquired an Epson WF7620 Printer, and heads are clean and nozzle checks gives proper results and am using original cartridges. I use Windows 10 for most tasks. But the sad thing is that after multiple cleaning cycles, in vertical alignment test (black small squares #1, #2 #3 lines) they always leaves white gaps, in all options. With color it is always fine. Is this a driver issue or hardware problem? I am so frustrated with it, is there a solution to it? Your help will be appreciated.
@@BCHTechnologies Hey thanks for the reply, I did cleaning couple of times, regular head cleaning (after watching many of your videos) and printing images again and again, and voila, it did work. :) Thanks. keep the good work up.
Hi Kevin, i followed your instructions but when I completed the installation of the new printhead nothing printed. I went through the printhead nozzle check and the printhead cleaning process, but the printer failed to print. I went back into the printhead and checked the cables to make sure i put them in with the blue sides facing upwards, made sure the printhead was level and tightly installed, made sure the ink board was installed properly. Still I get nothing to print. Any ideas what I might have done wrong or what I should check?
Mine too! I'm an electronic tech, I ordered the part and put it in, it says the nozzles might be plugged and to check them before printing. I ran the checks and nothing prints.... The old head just had a cyan problem... Now nothing will print even though it runs through all the actions and sounds like it's printing.
Hey Kev Thank you. My 7620 wouldn't power up, I watched a few videos on troubleshooting, then I came across this video, followed your instructions and found out the cable near the yellow on the print head had burned out. I was thinking do I changed the entire print head or just the burnt cable?.
@@BCHTechnologies Ok cool I thought just teplacing the cable would be enough. Another question if you don't mind, that flat cable has 4 or 5, heads, behind the cartridge case I see two flat cables, in order to connect those do the cartridge carriage have to be removed to connect the flat cables?
@@BCHTechnologies Hey Kev would you have a extra motherboard for the 7620 for purchase? I was told that if it doesn't power up after removing the print head then it's the motherboard. But those flat cables were not damaged. And I believe the flat cables act like fuses for the precision WF,. What do you think?
wondering if anyone else had this problem::: I followed your instructions and changed my printhead. When I ran a nozzle check the only pattern that printed was black... even after several head cleanings. while doing this I cleaned my old printhead so I decided to put that one back in and see what would happen. Well now the only pattern that is printing is magenta and no other color. What is happening? Is it something other than the printhead problem?
One year later, I'm back. Apparently all replacement heads are not the same. I ordered one for $60, (Epson charges $250) it says made in China on it which must be where Epson sources its heads, and looks identical to the original. When I installed it, I got a prompt that the head had been replaced and to do a nozzle check. When attempting a nozzle check, I was given a error 031008. I took the head out, checked the cables and positioning, put the head back in and made sure the ink tanks were seated and the contacts on them clean. No change, still error 031008. Thinking that my Epson WF7710 might be able to detect a non-Epson-supplied head, I reinstalled the original head. No error. Now I must pay the same amount for a replacement head as I paid for the printer? It sure looks that way.

Hi Kevin I replaced my print head along with new ink cartridges, old head plugged after setting for a year. Does a new head take several cleaning cycles to prime or need to set for a while to fill the head?
These videos of yours are just amazing. Thank you for all your hard work and your excellent, well-lit, close-up videos.

That said, I want to help, with gratitude and honor for your work: At 11:05 "Parallel, not 'screwed'" - Correctly: "Parallel, not skewed" which means out of proper alignment, diagonal, crooked ['krook-ed].

I see what looks like a tiny LED opening at the far right of the printer that might be for carriage alignment purposes. I suspect that I have altered the carriage alignment and the LED is not able to see what it should see. Any suggestions?

Kevin will a Epson WF 3640 printhead work in an Epson WF 7720?
Thanks for the video, I was able to replace the print head easily. Everything seemed to fit properly back in and I was very careful, however now I just get blank pages when printing (at least 2 of the colours were working before). Might there be a common issue, or did I get a dud print head?
I'm having the same problem, did you find a solution?
It depends on where you get the printhead. Many of them come with wetter solution filled inside, so the printhead will not dry out during storage. You will need a couple of cleanings before seeing any color.
Did you find the solution. I am having the same issue
@@BCHTechnologies I can hear some liquid when I shake the printhead .... should there be no liquid inside ? How do I take it out ?
Do you know where I can purchase the nozzle piece you're replacing in the video for the workforce wf-7620?
Hi, Kevin. I loved the insight and guidance during your video. Only one thing is missing. When you reinstalled the circuit board, your video did not show when you reattached the connector to the circuit board.
Hi Kevin, I had a WF3620 Epson printer. Days ago the message 0x97 was shown to indicate the clogged printer head. I followed your instructions, took out the printer head and soak in the water, also clean it with clean liquid. But after I installed back, I even changed a set of new ink(remanufactured one), it turned out print blank page. What did I do next? No any error msgs were shown.
Did you find any solution ? I am getting the exact same error.
Thank you so much, I got my print head replaced easily enough but when I plugged my printer back in and it came on the whole printer apparatus slammed into the left side of the printer and the screen said there was a problem to turn off printer. Any idea what could have happened?
Please see this video: ruclips.net/video/-DvsptHbY1w/видео.html Do you get error 000031?
Are these directions similar for the 7010?
Excellent tutorial...quick question. I have an epson workforce 1100 where all inktanks are not recognized, the inktank holder does not dock properly after staring up, it goes left right under the plastic divider from the docking area, and ink light is always on, green power light flashes...thoughts anyone ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Kevin. Great DIY clip.
Do you know if it’s worth removing the head and cleaning ie soak in window cleaner and replace ?
Yes, absolutely... if you do it right. I won't use windows cleaner because it is not filtered. I will use a professional cleaning solution, filtered to 0.22 micron. Then I will put it inside the printhead overnight and let it do the work.
Great video, TY! Do you know where I can find a replacement print head for my 7710? The yellow broke off and I have had a hard time finding one. TIA!
I have a video here: ruclips.net/video/8GFTccfqKpE/видео.html, showing you how to buy printhead CORRECTLY
Excellent video, Thank you for sharing!
Can i replacs just the gold part where the cartridge make contact?
im getting an error code 0x9A after doing this process. any ideas what this might be?
Me too after I cleaned the printhead now I’m getting 0x97
Hi!!! where can i buy a replacement for wf7210 headprint? thank you
I just watched this and replaced my print head. My problem now is it's not printing at all, what did I do wrong? ;-(
Glad I found this I have two 7210s n I got a stubborn clog on one them
Please help me... I took the little cable from the little chip and don't know which way to put back in 😭😭
I did everything right but the ink doesn't come out even I clean the print head nozzle.
0x9E error, i didn't even install a new print head. just replaced some ciss carts (out with old in with new). printer was off during the swap. now it does this.
Unfortunately my black nozzle "nipple" on my epson wf7620 broke off.
Could I possibly super glue it back on if done carefully?
I was thinking I could hold it where it needs to go and only glue the outside edge of the "nipple" so glue would not get inside of the inks pathway.
Please let me know what you think!
Thanks!
Yes if you do it carefully.
Are there instructions for removing the printhead carrier somewhere? The CR drive cable in my printer snapped, and I see that you sell replacements on your website. I think I could replace this if I removed the carrier, but I don't know if that can be done easily, so I would appreciate any insight you could provide into how to do so.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will make one soon.
After the printhead is installed do you put the carriage in the locked position before connecting the power?
No need to.
Merci, je ne sais pas encore si je réussirai mais la vidéo est parfaite tant au plan pédagogique qu'au plan technique.
Vous n'avez pas répondu à la question tres interressante: Peut-on nétoyer les tête de cette manière???
Merci encore pour tout
JJB
Thank u now I can change my printhead & save a thousand
Can you please help me? My printer printed fine until my magenta nozzle in the printhead broke off. I ordered a new one and installed it per your video. Now it wont print at all, is there anything more I can do? Ive run a nozzle check and cleaned the print heads and it doesnt print anything at all on a nozzle head check. i have the epson wf-7620
I have the same problem!
I ask myself, why don't they show the whole process adding when they start it up to see the printing result?
The printhead of Epson wf 7210 is equal to Epson wf 7610??
Can I use these instructions on a Epson Work Force WF-7720?
I think so. T6711 Maintenance Ink Tank is for Epson Workforce WF-3540 WF-3620 WF-3640 -WF7110 WF-7210 WF-7710 WF-7720 WF-7510 WF-7610 WF-7620 ET-16500
Hi Kevin I’m back with another question... how does the printhead get shorted out and what are those three little fingers that touch the printhead do?
The little finger is the ground. If you get ink or water at the yellow color‘s base, it will short out. That’s where the power comes into the address module.
@@BCHTechnologies thank you very much. I can’t remember if I drained the power before I disassembled the print head:/
Hi Kevin, Your videos are the best when it comes to Epson.
Recently I acquired an Epson WF7620 Printer, and heads are clean and nozzle checks gives proper results and am using original cartridges. I use Windows 10 for most tasks.
But the sad thing is that after multiple cleaning cycles, in vertical alignment test (black small squares #1, #2 #3 lines) they always leaves white gaps, in all options. With color it is always fine. Is this a driver issue or hardware problem? I am so frustrated with it, is there a solution to it?
Your help will be appreciated.
It sounds like just regular clogging. Do a flush and see it it takes it away.
@@BCHTechnologies Hey thanks for the reply, I did cleaning couple of times, regular head cleaning (after watching many of your videos) and printing images again and again, and voila, it did work. :) Thanks. keep the good work up.
@@deamonsnake1985 Congratulations. Happy printing!
Hi Kevin, i followed your instructions but when I completed the installation of the new printhead nothing printed. I went through the printhead nozzle check and the printhead cleaning process, but the printer failed to print. I went back into the printhead and checked the cables to make sure i put them in with the blue sides facing upwards, made sure the printhead was level and tightly installed, made sure the ink board was installed properly. Still I get nothing to print. Any ideas what I might have done wrong or what I should check?
Hi Brian I had the same problem. Did u find a solution
@@cathybenteau9783 No reply…just crickets.
Mine too! I'm an electronic tech, I ordered the part and put it in, it says the nozzles might be plugged and to check them before printing. I ran the checks and nothing prints.... The old head just had a cyan problem... Now nothing will print even though it runs through all the actions and sounds like it's printing.
I am getting error code 0x9A after did that..could you help me? Thank you
Hey Kev Thank you. My 7620 wouldn't power up, I watched a few videos on troubleshooting, then I came across this video, followed your instructions and found out the cable near the yellow on the print head had burned out. I was thinking do I changed the entire print head or just the burnt cable?.
Most of times, the printhead is gone after you burn the cable.
@@BCHTechnologies Ok cool I thought just teplacing the cable would be enough. Another question if you don't mind, that flat cable has 4 or 5, heads, behind the cartridge case I see two flat cables, in order to connect those do the cartridge carriage have to be removed to connect the flat cables?
And where can I find the flat head cable. Thank you.
@@BCHTechnologies Hey Kev would you have a extra motherboard for the 7620 for purchase? I was told that if it doesn't power up after removing the print head then it's the motherboard. But those flat cables were not damaged. And I believe the flat cables act like fuses for the precision WF,. What do you think?
I cannot get it back in because the lines (white cables that do into the sides) are in the way. I cannot get it to go back in.
Does any company provide Epson printhead replacement services?
wondering if anyone else had this problem::: I followed your instructions and changed my printhead. When I ran a nozzle check the only pattern that printed was black... even after several head cleanings. while doing this I cleaned my old printhead so I decided to put that one back in and see what would happen. Well now the only pattern that is printing is magenta and no other color. What is happening? Is it something other than the printhead problem?
One year later, I'm back. Apparently all replacement heads are not the same. I ordered one for $60, (Epson charges $250) it says made in China on it which must be where Epson sources its heads, and looks identical to the original. When I installed it, I got a prompt that the head had been replaced and to do a nozzle check. When attempting a nozzle check, I was given a error 031008. I took the head out, checked the cables and positioning, put the head back in and made sure the ink tanks were seated and the contacts on them clean. No change, still error 031008. Thinking that my Epson WF7710 might be able to detect a non-Epson-supplied head, I reinstalled the original head. No error. Now I must pay the same amount for a replacement head as I paid for the printer? It sure looks that way.
Many thanks to Harry Corset from Wales...For his excellent and Seemless Dubbing. You are the man .. Beer Night tonight. YAYE Wales... Couldn't resist the joke opportunity. The Dubbing made me Laugh :-) 1:23
You rock. thank you. im gunna use the cleaning kit this time so i dont break another print head.
Most excellent! Worked well with my WF-7110!
Did your printer turn on right away?
Where do you find reasonable prices for the T1881?
I have 3 or 4 that have been cleaned and are just in ziploc bags. Let me know if you still need one.
Hi Kevin. Is it the same for wf-7720 ?
Did you ever figure out if it’s the same for your 6620?
Hi all, I need help with a Epson WF-7510 printhead replacement.
Can you use Epson 7710 for the 7720 ?
For changing the printhead? There is no difference for that.
Is the 2860 ink cartridges compatible with 7720
No, they are not
Hi Kevin I replaced my print head along with new ink cartridges, old head plugged after setting for a year. Does a new head take several cleaning cycles to prime or need to set for a while to fill the head?
Yes, it normally does.
Thank you very much for taking the time to make us noobs a how to video! Great video!
Great video, very informative.
is this the same head of epson wf-7720?
Yes.
Very helpful video. Thank you very much!
These videos of yours are just amazing. Thank you for all your hard work and your excellent, well-lit, close-up videos. I only speak one language (English), and I am always amazed at people who are fluent in more than one language. That said, I want to help, with gratitude and honor for your work: At 11:05 "Parallel, not 'screwed'" - Correctly: "Parallel, not skewed" which means out of proper alignment, diagonal, crooked ['krook-ed].

Hi Kevin , great video, I have seen printhead son Alibaba or from the same area in China my issues is the reviews all say the received none working units.

Hi kevin can I use a wf7710 printhead on a wf7720?
I remove flush, soaked, flush again but not a lot of water came thru in magenta , let it dry, install back and I have error code ending in 06
Yes you can.
Where did you buy the printer head from?
EBAY
do you think this will stop me from getting error 031006?
031106 is not the error code for these models. What's your printer model?
