For most folks this should do the trick but I tried similar with my old 3640 and I never could get the heads cleared but it sat for long periods between print jobs. If you use your printer a lot you shouldn't have those kinds of problems. The good solution and properly sized rubber hose for the syringe is really important and I found some that was pretty close but not perfect for the head setup on the 3640. The eco tanks use a different setup to feed the ink into the heads but I bet that hose would work for many printers that you can't easily remove the head to clean it.
Good video, keep up the good work.
What if the colors you've cleaned aren't printing after the power cleaning step? I do a print nozzle check and it's like there's still cleaning solution instead of ink because it's printing wet lines but no color.
Bonjour et merci pour la vidéo , existe t il des encres compatibles et de bonne qualité pour la epson ET 8550 ?
Thank you for the video, it will be useful to know, my ET-8550 is just arriving. (I could not image there are men on this planet not having a screwdriver in their households)
Nice, you would be surprised.
What size is the tube line for cleaning
I wish I watched this video first...
I actually unscrewed the casing of each of the colors and cleaned it with paper... now all my pages are blank. Would this still help or do you think I damaged my printer head?
Hi I know I asked this question before but I bought your product but when I went to follow your video the Epson you were showing is different to mine so I followed all until I got to the part we’re You have to flush and Had no clue what to do after that so I have the cleaning kit and no idea how to get to the part we’re I have to put the syringe if you can help I have an Epson ET 1500 thank you
So after you do the flush with the cleaning kit, you replace everything and then turn the printer back on. Next you need to run a printhead cleaning.
WORKED!!! THANKS!!!!
Awesome!
I have a question. So i took the printer apart and put it back together. So whem I turn it on the touch screen panel turns black after a couple of seconds
Try restarting multiple times.
My ET7700 started throwing blank sheets. I had been working on the ink pad which was saturated and had tilted it 45 deg. The data ribbon was wet with ink when I checked. Does ink short out electricity?
it so the problem needs to be resolved
I converted my ET 8550 to dtf and it won’t print anything. Papers coming out blank. Do you know how to solve this?
My ET-15000 isn’t printing anything. Man thanks for this info. Been looking everywhere. Hopefully it works for me
Yes it will
Hi. Can you do a video on an Epson ET-2760, how to clear error code E-01? Please help!
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!
My yellow ink won't print but everything else works fine I didn't a power clean and looks like the yellow didn't even get touched. Like it's not pulling through the line or something
Try using warmed up cleaning solution. There are videos on this channel and on my website best printertech.com that will show you how to properly warm up to cleaning fluid.
Where are you located cause I need help sooooo badly
What if the printer won’t print a nozzle check. It goes into error mode
Wich is the print head replacement for this printer ?? Would be great a video of print head replacement. Good job and thanks for the info
Great suggestion!
I did this so many time (not with this exact solution) but I did use printhead cleaning solution multiple times and for whatever reason my ink stays full and won't print. (Only happens with yellow)
That is strange.
Hello! I have a 8550 and I purchased it in August 2021. Today a breaker was thrown...we live in an older home. I have never had ANY issues with the printer and use in very, very often. I flipped the breaker, but the printer NEVER powered back on. I have changed numerous outlets, changed the power cable with another Epson I had, done a long power button press, left unplugged for approximately 2-3 minutes, and connected it to my MacBook with the provided USB. It will NOT power on. My network nor my Mac even recognizes it. Any tips or things I can try? Epson support is closed until Monday. I am devastated its just gone. Thank you!
The board is probably fried unfortunantely.
Probably because you listened to this guy and sprayed fluid into your machine and shorted a circuit.
I receive an error 031002 and I can’t print t anything. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Leave the printer off for at least 24 hours and then try restarting
How is it printing blank pages ? And i have ink and i did power cleaning i can’t even print nozzle report
The printhead is clogged and so you need to use the cleaning fluid to break up that blockage.
Do you know where i can buy the main bord CJ20 for this printer?
eBay
I had a paper jam and it was printing crazy on it. I canceled the print and got the paper out of the printer. Since then it’s not printing correctly. I did multiple cleanings and the lines on the blue, yellow, & red still aren’t any better. I tried the solution and did the power clean again and those broke up lines are still there. Idk what to do at this point. Any advice? Or is it broken?
If this problem happened after you have the paper jam I'm wondering if some of the hardware got damaged if that's the case, you may want to get a new printer.
Do you need to empty the ink prior to doing this?
No its not necessary.
Is this the same for dtf ink on epson ?
Nooooo if you have a major clog you run the risk of damaging the print head
Hola. Que cabezal trae de fabrica esta impresora? Gracias
Hola, No puedes cambiar el cabezal de impresión en este.
@@BestPrinters ok. Pero que cabezal es? Q referencia?
Can you tell me why my printhead is stopping on start up
After the cleaning? Please create a new comment for a response.
i convert ET 8550 to eco slovent my cyan is not coming out will this work the same ?
Yes
@@BestPrinters i did this, the cyan ink started to come out from underneath the printer!!? is that normal?? its a new printer never drop, havent printed anything but print head printing
@@oliviareyes7442 did you ever find a fix to you issue of ink not coming out
What can you do if the door and or tray didn't come out when printing? Do you have solution?
You may want to consult a technician, that is a bigger problem.
Ok@@BestPrinters
My ink was clogged(white only), so removed the printhead to clean it and put everything back to normal, did a nozzle check, now there is absolutely no ink coming out (no color no white), nothing wrong with the maintenance box either, i'm getting white pages, any suggestions on what to do next
Hey I have the same problem did you ever get it fixed? Pls let me know !
Same problem here
Same here do you get it to work?
Same here!, get it to work?
My yellow cleaned out to be black, there's no leak anywhere and my other colors are fine. I've done 2 cleaning flushes and pulled alot of black out, still no yellow printing 😢😢. Please help!
Repeat the process on Yellow, this may take several tries. Be patient and take a few days to complete it.
What are the steps if after I followed all these guidelines the ink isn’t pulling into the printhead?
Have you run a power cleaning?
Mine is no longer printing the color I used the solution on. I've followed all of the steps and now nothing at all, it's like the ink is not even going through to print anymore
Keep running nozzle checks until ink refills the line. Seems to do the trick for me when I do this.
I did this and now the printer won’t turn on. What do you think I should do?
Did you leave it off for 24 hours?
What if it's printing blank papers
This will work just make sure to clean all the nozzles.
Why won't IPA work for cleaning?
No
the discount ink is not the exact same ink. false economy imo getting an ecotank photo printer and using discount ink
Ok
