Hi again Kevin! I was curious and waiting for Part 2 of this video to come out, as I'm interested in seeing the method for which you would unclog a DURABrite Ultra (pigment) EPSON model. Will it be out any day now? :D
Thank you for an excellent tutorial. I haven't see anything like this on social media before. Very clear, highly educational and to the point. Though a bit long, it kept me watching all the time without waste. We'll done. I have couple of Epson photo printers, R1900 and R2880 and will now try your approach on them. If I fail, it will be because I wasn't careful enough or because they haven't been used for over five years! but surely not because your tutorial lacked clarity or information.
I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful! It's great to hear that you’re going to give it a try on your Epson printers. Wishing you the best of luck!
Is that you, Kevin? The gentleman in this video sounds a lot like who I spoke with when I was called back to assist with my EPSON Workforce 610 clogged CYAN & BLACK nozzle problem. It was a pleasure and this video is great, way more informative than any other in the same regard 😁
Thank you Kevin, it has made my Sunday morning complete. I feel better about doing this when my cleaning kit arrives later this week. Very informative and interesting. Take care.
Like most people, I'm lazy and decided cleaning, wait 12 hours, clean again repeat 12 times was just more work than I had time to do so I orderd a replacement head from the A to Z company (no free advertizing) but when it came it was a used and poorly cleaned head that didn't work so now I'm about to do your method with one change - I decided to put the head on a long soak in a vaccuum chamber to suck all the air out before I try priming the head with ink. I'll post the results later to see if vaccuum method works. I got the idea from Jose Rodriguez Photo Printing Teck channel. A long time ago I bought a cleaning kit like your RED but the tubes that came with it were way to large and just leaked all over. I hope you have a variety that fits the WF 7620.
This is FANTASTIC!.... but... where's part 2? I have an R2000 (pigment ink) and about to do some deep cleaning. The methods here are probably useful, but... I'm on the edge of my seat! :)
My old Epson R2880 A3 printer stopped printing black years ago - I'm assuming the other other colours have seized by now as well... But I'll follow this and see if I can get the old girl working again... Its a great printer - expensive to run, but very good. I'll admit I tend to use low quality ink for most prints... its only "proper" prints that get the good stuff.
Great information. Do you have a video for unclogging a wide-format printer like the Epson 9880? I'm not even sure if my clog is in the print-head or the lines themselves.
Excellent videos. all very informative. All these videos kind of say to me don't buy Epson! I have a Brother tha's 15 years old it clogged once or twice and it was way easier to fix.
Hi Kevin, good morning, My problem with my Epson WorkForce 610. I bought new cartridge Black Ink. But it says, the following cannot be recognized, please help me.
Hey thank you for posting great information. My Epson WF-4730 is giving me an error 000103, do you know what to do about it. Epson told me it is a hardware error and since my unit is out of warranty there was nothing they could do....is that great?
Can you use this DTG printheads? I have an Omniprint Freejet 330tx Plus Direct To Garment printer that has an EPSON Stylus Photo R2400 Print head. It uses Gamut ink. These videos help alot!!
I had the same problem on my Epson XP5100 (no printing even with new cartridges), I tried all the possible fixes I could find on RUclips, none of the fixes worked, I ended up trashing the printer, no more Epsons for me, probably going back to H-P.
I have a wf7720 that puts out too much black ink which creates smudges all over prints the prints come out fine but blots of black ink. I clean and after few prints it's blotting again.
My printer is not printing black colour even when i change to a new black cartrage my printer is Epson XP-405 is there any thing I can do to solve this problem.
I have an Epson Et4550. So what happened was I basically let it sit for about a year because of this pandemic until I realized what I had done. Initially it wasn’t printing anything on paper. I watch your video I bought the solution and it’s almost work. I got three of the four colors to come back. Black refuses to come back. Not only that, and one print heading also check I think I’m making progress, on the next one I’ll get no black at all. I’ve been doing this for two weeks man. Need some advice
@@lionintu yeah, good idea in concept but devil in details. So it needs constant use to stay functional but most people dont have that kind of demand. But its too slow for proffesional settings. So 👎🏻
@@lionintu i replaced it with a led color laser from brother which is superior in every way except for photo printing which it sucks. When i get back home ill play around with settings and see if it can improve on that.
I'm injecting the cleaning solution to the clogged nozzle, but why is the solution coming back up through another nozzle? For instance, injecting solution to yellow nozzle, the solution will come back out of the magenta nozzle instead of going onto the waste/blotting paper.
HI JUST HAVE 2 CHANELS LC AND LM WICH ARE NOT WORKING WITH DTF WHITE INK ,WORKING PERFECTLY BEFORE NEXT DAY STOPPED WORKING .I DO A WATERFALL FLUSH PRINTHEAD EVERYTHING LOOK OK BUT WHEN TRY TO DO A NOZZLE CHECK OR PRINTING DOESNT WORK .IS THIS PRINTHEAD DONE ??I THINK NEED TO CHANGE IT PLEASE ANY ADVISE BEFORE BUY ANOTHER ONE .THIS PRINTER I A EPSON 4900 FROM YEAR 2014 .NEVER CHANGED PRINTHEAD JUST NOW I CONVERT IT TO DTF WORK LIKE 1 MONTH AND 2 CHANELS ARE CLOGED
Hi, thank you so much for subscribing and for your question! I really appreciate your support-it means a lot to me. Every subscriber gets me one step closer to that 100k milestone. It’s been a long journey-8 years so far-but I’m committed to providing quality content and doing my best to answer all your questions. Thanks again for sticking with me! It sounds like you’re dealing with a challenging situation, and I’ll do my best to help. First, how you store your printhead overnight plays a big role in preventing clogs, especially with DTF ink. I always recommend wet capping to keep the printhead in good condition. For troubleshooting, observe the cleaning function: if you see white ink coming out of the capping station, it’s a good sign that the printhead isn’t clogged. If no ink is flowing, there might be a clog or a sealing issue with the capping station. To park the printhead correctly, power on the printer and let the printhead settle naturally on the capping station. DTF ink is thicker than regular ink, so the printhead may need a bit of extra help to get started. Once parked, you can connect a syringe and tube to the printer’s waste line and gently draw 2 ml of air. Start with 1.5 ml, and you should feel slight resistance. If you only pull air, the printhead isn’t parked properly, or the capping station seal might be leaking. If there’s total resistance, the capping station could be clogged. Hearing the damper membrane crinkle after drawing 1.5 ml is a good sign of open nozzles. Slowly draw up to 2 ml and hold for 10 seconds, ensuring the black rubber passes the mark. Finally, use the regular cleaning routine on your printer. Avoid strong cleaning cycles within 12 hours, and don’t run cleanings back-to-back without allowing enough rest time. Let me know if this helps or if you have more questions. If you need a quicker response, feel free to email me at support@bchtechnologies.com. For subscribers like you, I aim to respond within 48 hours, but if I miss it here, posting on a newer video or emailing directly is the fastest way to reach me. Thank you again for your support and for watching my videos-I’m here to help!
My company has a Direct Color Systems 7200z that's based on the Epson Stylus Pro 7900. I believe we have a clog that occurred after our quarantine ended. I've been unable to clear it. I'm very reluctant to remove the head because I don't know how to calibrate it after. And I can't attach one of the EPSON clearing carts to it because of the way it's set up. Do you have any advice on how I can clear a clog or troubleshoot to see if it's a clog or a bad print head? The error I'm getting when I try to run is Fatal Error 1A39.
So I must have damaged the black ink channel, and fried the chip board under it, with flushing it with cleaning solution, and pushing too hard, because, now the black refuses to print anything, while all the other colors work perfectly. Guess I have no other choice now, but to buy the red solution, and try to do even more damage by letting it sit on the print head overnight.
In my expirience - this is very time wasting and dangereous method. I'm talking about doing all this work INSIDE the carriege. It's better to get out printhead, place it on towel or wool disk soaked with cleaning liquid and let it rest for some time. Then you use same tubes with syringe to flush cleaning liquid towards untill you see straight "rain". Then dry PH, let it some rest on dry towel and you can run it. This is a little bit risky, but works very fast and with great results

A truly powerful video!! My late husband was the head of the IT Department at the University of Illinois before he passed in 2012.
Go Illini!

Thank you so much for the thorough explanation and step-by-step techniques to clean the printhead and avoid frying the electronics.
Hi Kevin
Really appreciated the video

Thanks

THANK YOU ! I have a 1400 that once worked beautifully , now its dried/clogged. I'm going to apply your method a go.
Hey if you ended up going trhouhh with it, howd it go??
Man, great channel and content. Only wish I had found it last night while searching before I shorted out my printhead, printer, and 2 carts.
Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully, this guide can help you avoid any more mishaps in the future!
Fantastic detailed, informative video Kevin ! And I love your sense of humour :) keep it up.
Thank you! I learned something today - very informative video. Very useful in helping me home repair during lockdown when all repair shops closed.

Best channel ever! You're so good. May Allah bless you and thank you for all the deep information.
Another Pro tip video, yes, I need that red flush cleaner. Thank you!
This is FANTASTIC!.... but... where's part 2? I have an R2000 (pigment ink) and about to do some deep cleaning. The methods here are probably useful, but... I'm on the edge of my seat! :)
I think there is part 2 somewhere. I remember I shot it. It's been a while.
Many thanks for posting this. Super informative material. Truly appreciate your efforts and instruction.
No problem! Happy to help out! If you have any questions, just hit me up!
15:30 - Excellent explanation.
Hi. You sould show some example of how your cleaning liquid disolve dry pigment ink in some lab container.
My old Epson R2880 A3 printer stopped printing black years ago - I'm assuming the other other colours have seized by now as well...

Great video! Really informative ... Thanks
Can you please do a video on xp-330 styled print heads being super clogged to the point I can’t push in the solution
Hi Kevin, good morning, My problem with my Epson WorkForce 610. I bought new cartridge Black Ink. But it says, the following cannot be recognized, please help me.
Excellent. Now I need to get some bits. Do you deliver to the UK?
I have a wf7720 and getting this 034503 error but everything is closed and looks good. Do you know whats wrong? Love your videos by the way.
13:01 - WTF... Excellent explanation.
how do you replace the sponges that wipe the bottom of the printhead. Epson 7210 ??
I will make a video.

Bad printhead
Can you use this DTG printheads? I have an Omniprint Freejet 330tx Plus Direct To Garment printer that has an EPSON Stylus Photo R2400 Print head. It uses Gamut ink. These videos help alot!!
Hi Joel,
Did this work?
And is this a reliable method over the long term? How many such cleaning did you do while keeping the head working?
@@yoavkatz7717 I never got to try it but it was definitely interesting.

I have a wf7720 that puts out too much black ink which creates smudges all over prints the prints come out fine but blots of black ink. I clean and after few prints it's blotting again.
perhaps check the setting for thick paper? I understand it lifts the head slightly to avoid blots/smudges
