Cleaning Cycles Not Helping? No Cleaning Options on Your Printer? Try This!

If your cleaning cycles have not resolved a print quality issue or you cannot find a cleaning option on your two cartridge inkjet printer, give this a go. Ink comes directly from the bottom of black and tri-colour ink cartridges like these, and ink can easily dry along the bottom of the free-hanging cartridges.
A physical clean like this is often the best solution if your printer has been left unused for an extended period of time. We recommend this tip for any two ink cartridge printers produced by Canon, Hewlett Packard (HP), Lexmark, Dell or even some select Samsung printers.
We hope you have found this short video helpful. We have hundreds of videos for specific printers on our channel, if you wanted any additional help or advice.

What you soaked up in that little piece of toilet paper was about 80% of the contents inside that cartridge lol.

[@Deadlines-X]

20% of nothing is better than nothing.

[@suraiyahassan7096]

Not even 30 percentage

[@lovely_shan_ashante]

Thanks! You saved me extra money. I thought my ink cartridge was low but its working perfectly fine again!

[@sarhyi]

Thank you!!! The damn HP tech wouldn't even tell me this🤦🏽‍♀️

[@user-pv4gk8wc4c]

Excuse me, what was put in the napkin to get the ink out?

Because the assholes want you to pay for this info!

[@neroxfrostbyte7461]

Thanks! It worked! I was about to just buy new ink cartridges(even though I rarely print) and was wondering what was going on, after following your instructions in this video it prints so much better and all it took was a wet paper towel!

[@Krissylaras]

Did you print

[@migztheexplorer8538]

With wet wipes, i was able to clean it and it works! Thanks for the tip😊❤

[@CaseyWood-mn9vm]

After countless googling I wish I would have just came here! Thank you!

[@charlotteaaron7021]

FINALLY. it worked. so happy !!!!!!!

[@emy2203]

This actually worked for me. I was going crazy because I needed to print out some labels to ship some packages and thought my ink was broken even though I barely bought it lol. Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@thinkable2024]

Nothing works except buying a new cartridge, hp is very smart. It gives very delicate print heads that stop working after first Non-OEM ink refilling.

[@user-cq4vx8eq2w]

This worked great!!!!!! Thank you!

[@nesh-2495]

Thank you so much. I just wipe the cartridge with tissue paper without put water and it works fine. Appreciate a lot!

[@abhishekprasad8563]

Tissue paper really soaking the ink from the mouth of the cartridge❤❤❤❤
It worked really
Thanks❤❤❤

[@armeahancheta4989]

[@7llinangel]

thank you so much, it works on my Canon printer too

[@manikabhardwaj686]

What are your reviews about canon printers??

[@RickyMotoPH]

it worked! thank you

[@SaraWiley]

I’m still seeing horizontal lines on the print clean test page and the other test pages for alignment. I changed all of my ink cartridges and tried this to no avail. The magenta doesn’t do it as much as the other colors. Inside of the printer looks clean enough. Not sure how to fix it.

[@royalegamer2704]

It worked thank you 😎

[@SofeaaJane]

OMG THANKYOU SO MUCHHHH

[@reddie8130]

you're a life saver

[@BeaThePerson]

I assume it soaks up a lot of the ink, but honestly this fixed my problem so I can’t complain!

[@ETORERIGO]

Dont keep buying those cartridges just get a cheap refill kit for 10 dollars it'll save you hundreds instead of buying a new cartridge every 2 pages

[@moonmushi]

YAAAAAASSSSS!!! Thank you so much!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹

[@RealMissAmerica]

THANK YOU SIR

[@mitalpatel8272]

[@teelo523]

I’ve got wide lines on my prints, kind of like it’s slightly faded. What do you think the issue is?

[@ChrisTian-sd5yq]

clean nozzles from maintenance in PC

[@revolution_313]

Me too ,, just half pages printing out, what happens to the rest ink whenever i print???? Pls help

[@rubialeman8629]

Your awesome thank you!

[@Trump985]

If your struggling with a inject printer throw the pile of shit in the trash and buy a laser printer. After years of struggling with these inlet printers I decided to try a laser printer. That was a decision I should have make decades ago!

[@farhataman7021]

How much time to wait for dry out? Or put it back instantly?

[@angelkingston2312]

Will this stop pictures printing yellow or with lins though it

[@deepthi6097]

Hero!!!!!

[@sumalishadika5963]

I tried this toy colour cartridge. But yellow and pink only coming out. Blue is stuck. When shaking its come out after few second it's not coming out

[@Tmac8488]

Outstanding, it worked well !

[@nameforcomments4092]

I’ve had ink cartridges just stop working with plenty of ink left on many occasions, and I’ve had print heads come down with the same issue. I’ve tried this fix several times: it has never helped at all. Every time has ended with me having to buy an entire new printer.

[@Sure5678]

I put the ink there but it does not work keeps on dripping ink out of the carihde

[@CoiledProjects]

didn't work so now I'm going to launch it at the wall. piece of sh..... HP

[@waterkingdavid]

Now you'll add a hole in the wall to your broken printer 😢

[@amnabh91]

My printhead doesn't move after i open the door. Its already power on. I don't know why

[@hayley6804]

I don't know why suddenly it got jammed.... But no papers were jammed inside... It just beating inside ... Don't know what to do

[@fiyazafarook3744]

My one only i can see the green thing and i dont see rainbo colours

[@aryanshukla4231]

I haven't used the printer for over a year my ink has dried how do I clean it? (Dried inside)

[@TheDarkDutchman]

Same here, and this doesn't help.

[@user-ro4kr7ob2b]

I have a better trick - buy printer with ink containers, and do not spend shitload of money on shitty cartriges.

[@nineshnivitha7900]

Lights blinking not working

[@SteviePaints]

Thank you! This worked perfectly on my HP 3755. You should send this to HP, because their videos and support are worthless.

[@blueberrybabymagic]

yup, did the trick and found out my ink cartridge is not working, so I'm just gonna replace it

[@user-tj5oi3kk8x]

My cyan colour is blocked and this hasn't worked, what else can I try

[@Leon05X]

did you manage to fix? I have inktank with the same problem, all colors but cyan

[@Aanykhan]

I got line in black nd white photo

[@FiredangerFN]

Bro said 3d print lol

[@evanleo7633]

by pushing it down on the towel, you just drained 70% of the total ink in that cartridge

[@GILI3GILI3]

Not helped. Printer printed blured letters again. Hp is trash.

[@Piano_Board]

Yo same printer 🖨

[@TaylorYarick]

This made it even worse 😂

[@mijboogie]

Hp printer are the worst of all

[@bishwajitsonu308]

This carteidges technique is just waste of money & time. Use inktank printers

[@TheDarkDutchman]

Ink tank ? What's that? A printer brand?

[@marky446]

ink tank printers are costly@@TheDarkDutchman

[@sorianosoul]

thans for the video, butt I don't like HP smart app. It's full of spam and trying too get data from customers that just wanna print and scan. Very aggressive marketing control. I never buy a HP printer again.
