[Tech Tips #1] Epson Eco-Tank Power Cleaning Procedure
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- If your Epson Eco-Tank printer doesn't print all the colors as it should, and the nozzle cleaning doesn't correct the problem then the manual tells you to try and power clean the head. The instructions aren't so clear, so I made a video showing you how to do it. I hope this helps!

I just don’t understand why Epson (& a lot of uTube fix-it people make this so complicated, when it’s basically just 3 steps: Power off; hold down the 2 buttons & hit ok.
Yours was by far the quickest/easiest explanation! Thanks.
Lol when a youtubechannel helps more than the official support site. Thank you very much! xD
Happy to help!
Lol can i copy ur comment same thoughts in my mind … Thanks
Thank you sir. The support from Epson is complete crap. I'm grateful that you made this video.
This was brilliant... I too had done all the cleaning, nozzle checks and really didn't have the stamina to face Epson's instructions... I couldn't believe how easy it was and it worked! Thank you SO much!
First of all, freaking BRAVO! The other vid I watched said push the two buttons and that was it! This, of course didn't do squat. That was it! Lots of yapping about his cleaning pack and no help with this issue. I'm doing the Power Cleaning now, after exhausting the nozzle business and head business. If it works, I'll be soooooo grateful! If not, I'm still grateful and sending the thing back! It has NEVER printed! The inks are full. Deep breath!
IT FLIPPING WORKED!!! AAAAAMEN! Thank you, sir! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
You are very welcome. I hope this solves the problem for you. This ecotank printer has been the only printer that has ever been really reliable for me. I hope it works for you too.
HECK YEAH!!! YOU DID IT!!!
@@reeree6682 YAY!
I am doing it right now. Yesterday the printers shop (refilling shop) didn't told me about it. Maybe they don't know because they print a lot. ;) They told me to print more. If the power cleaning don't work, I have to say thank you anyway.
Hey, let me know how it goes. If the power cleaning didnt work, what did? This is the only printer I have ever bought that I liked. Still going strong.
thank you so much! I did so many nozzle checks and all the other cleaning that it clogged and just stopped. I had an order I needed to ship out and your vid were so simple and quick. I didn't get my hopes up high and to my surprise it worked and I tried printing and sure enough my reds were back and more vibrant as ever! Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad it helped someone.
You helped me more than the Epson support site. Now I can print color copy again. THANKYOU
Power cleaning actually recharges the tubing to the print nozzles like a 1st time install. It is very important to do a power cleaning if you have used a nozzle cleaning kit and nozzle check still shows voids.
worked again after a power clean no waiting 12 hours thanks life style
Glad it helped
after searching and searching for help with this on RUclips, THIS Fixed it! Thank you SO MUCH
Your welcome. Happy to help!
Thank you for the video. Worked after several failed nozzle checks and head cleanings.
Thank you!!!!! This is the power of the internet in action. I Subscribed and Liked. Thank you for providing a very short, concise explanation.
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much. I've been trying to sort for a few days now. I forgot to reset my ink levels after I last filled up a few months back so figured that maybe did something so ran the head and nozzle checks a few times but nothing changed.
I've just ran the power cleaning and the nozzle check and all is now good, I think I will wait the 12 hours before topping up my ink and resetting the ink levels. Great video and saved me buying a new printer.
Glad I could help!
Thank you sir! My printer had been sitting for a while.. This worked like a charm!
Thank you so much for your useful video and subscriber comments. I had done so many nozzle checks and head cleanings for weeks. I would get one color or another that just wouldn't print, even though it printed just the day before. Drove me nuts that the colors would change as to which one wouldn't print that day. I didn't want to do the power cleanings because I had read that they were not advised. I finally figured I HAD to run the power cleaning as the last resort. It worked!! Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge!
Happy to help. Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you! Worked on my ET-2750.
I was about to send my printing sailing out the window, lol. Thanks so much for this video.
Thanks for this video, I was about to chuck this printer out the window when it kept referring me to the website, lol you saved that printers life.
He saved your wallet, not the printer's life, because Epson wants you to throw away a perfectly fine, and expensive printer, just to get another one, or they would have made it easier to power, among other thing. Much like banks encourage people to overdraw, make hundreds of millions. This is what the world has come to, where every man a company are for themselves.
We do live in a throw away society. That is the financial incentive for these manufacturers. Thanks for watching, im happy i could help.
Glad I could help
Excellent! Would never have figured this out on my own! Thank you 😊
this was VERY VERY helpful !!!!!!!1THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!
Amazing! I couldn't figure out how to power clean!!! THANK YOU!!!
Took me awhile to understand what the manual was saying. Its so unclear. You are welcome!
do you have to empty a tank of ink for this? i read somewhere that you have to replace a maintenance box.. is this true? i have the epson et 2803
Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure this out for like 30 min 😅
Happy to help!
Vielen Dank für Deine Erklärung und herzliche Grüße aus Bayern !
So simple, clear, and kind. Thank you!
Worked like a charm. You're right. The instructions in the manual and online are terrible.
youre the man. i was banging my head over how to do this without software. thanks a ton
Glad to help!
Me too and IT WORKED!!!
Thank you! Mine says it will be ready to print after 12 hours? I tried it any way and it worked!
Thank you so much! It's been an aggravating week trying to get it to work and poof!
It worked! I didn't know what to do! Thank you so much!
Many ET-2750 has a software fault that prevent the operation of power cleaning ( and normal start) , I found that just tilting the printer in all directions , one after the other, up to about 60-70 degrees had an excellent cleaning effect. The printer became as good as new. Epson suggest to get the software fixed but it is too expensive my service center says.
I just did that tilted it and my cyan came back
thanks. very helpful
i have always wondered how to access the power cleaning mode! thanks
THANK YOU! Saved me a nervous breakdown... the utility option to power clean is NOT available on my Mac, I searched 1000 places.
Glad it helped!
Thank you! I could not figure this out before seeing this video
Glad I could help!
Very helpful, concise instructions. Now, according to the Epson screen, print quality should improve after 12 hours. Why 12 hours?
Thanks, my friend. It was a lot of help.
Glad it helped
Omg thank youuuuuu! The website thing was pissing me off! Life saver
Happy to help!
Does it take a lot of ink to do power cleaning
Thank you! This was really helpful.
The "instructions on the website" do not exist. Excellent video resource. Thank you.
thank you so much! They should have said hold the ? then the power button like you explained instead they said power button first! I was pulling out hair trying to get it to work.
You are welcome!
Thanks for this great video. My cyan gave me trouble and power cleaning did miracle
Glad it helped
I just did it, one question where did all the Ink go. Do I need to empty something
Thank you for this! I was beating my head against a wall trying to fix this! 🙃
Glad I could help!
Me too! I had done all the other stuff...and this WORKED!!!
Thank you! Your video was precise it worked.
OMG - LIFE Saving!! Thank you SOO much!
I've been doing the cleaning wrong the whole time I would do the regular nozzle cleaning about 15 times to fix it before haha
It did the trick, thanks a million!
Do i do anything other thab hit the button and let it go? Where does the ink go if it says its pushing the ink out and to make sure to have atleast 30%?
I am worried about doing a power clean on my Epson ET-2700 as the ink does not seem to be refilling. I believe power cleaning uses up a lot of ink, and if tanks are not full I may damage printer.
This totally fixed my issue !
That power clean is the only thing that works, the other one doesn't do a thing. Thanks!
No problem. Thanks for the feedback.
I just did this, and before I did, the printer stated that I had to replace the Maintenance Box which collects waste ink. My tank was almost full. You should also have over one third in the ink tanks so you don’t run dry.
Thank you so much sir.
You are a genius.
The lines were all clean after multiple cleanings but it still is not printing all the colors. My black tank is full and the colors are 1/2 full. Any ideas?
😢you are a life saver .thank you
Excellent, it helped me a lot !
Lol you just saved my life 🤣 Thank you!!
The ET-1810 does NOT have a screen, how do we POWER clean in this case?
Merci beaucoup, cela à fonctionner pour mon imprimante epson ET-2756😁
Succinct and helpful, ty good sir.
Sir after the power cleaning, you won't able to use your printer or you can immediately used ?
The instructions say to run a nozzle check right after the power cleaning. This is to see if it fixed the problem. If it did fix the problem, then I think you are fine to use the printer right way.
If it didn't solve the problem, the manual says to turn off the printer and wait for 12 hours before running another power clean. Good luck! Below is a copy/paste from my printers manual.
Note: After a Power Cleaning, you must turn off the product and wait at least 12 hours before running another Power Cleaning.
Did you print immediately after power cleaning
Awsome!! Thank you 👍
It worked. Much obliged!
Thanks for vid was helpful
wow! thank you for sharing!
You are welcome.
After powering down, tried holding the question mark and power button but NO menu came up asking if I wanted to power clean!?!! Why?? I can't run a power clean if never given the option from the printer menu. Ughhhhhhh
THANK YOU!
Thank you so much
My ET-2850 would not go into the Power Cleaning mode by pressing the Power and Question Mark button. There's a page for it in the Troubleshooting screen, though, right after Clean Print Head.
same for me, no PC mode came up from doing! How did you access and did it fix it?? Just told me to go look up on Epson site on troubleshooting. grrrrr
Thanks very helpful 👍 😀
Glad it was helpful!!
Solved my issue but I am concerned about long term maintenance. These power cleanings shorten the life of your printer. Once the reserve tank is full then what?
Thank you very much
Work it 100% 👌🏼
Welcome 👍
Thanks for this.
Thank you so much!!
I'm doing this at this very moment of typing this comment, and hopefully I'll get the same results you showed in this video, but thanks just the same even if it doesn't work, because at least I learned how to power, clean after getting that, go to website message, that I couldn't figure out for the life of me. Big Thanks!!! OK, just finished, and my results was another error message. An E- 01 error. Saying, Non-printing features are available, 00021. Though I think I disconnected something while cleaning it earlier, to unclog the black ink.
Dang, sorry man. Hope you were bale to resolve it.
Have you ever converted an Epson eco-tank 15000 From Sublimation to Eco solvent? Thanks
Sorry, i missed this. I have not, let me know how it turns out if you try,
Thank you
Awesome thank you!
Thank a lot!
Did you wait 12 hours before printing again after the cleaning? I'm getting so frustrated. I just got this printer and I still have 3 little sections not printing. Afyer 3 days of trying to figure this out I'm ready to take a hammer to it lol. 🤦♀️😭
I did. Good luck!
Did you ever figure this out? Did you try running the power cleaning multiple times? If that didn't work, the manual says to contact Epson customer support.
How many times can you do a power cleaning? Little lines or faded color will show up only at the very end of the printed photo it’s so frustrating.
I also want to add I don’t have any missing colors. I’ve done the alignments as well still not solving the issue. Help!!
@@raenapatlan3910 This is the time that I would recommend doing the power clearing. I kept doing the head cleaning but still had missing colors. Try the power clean, just one time.
After 2 regular cleaning and 2 power cleaning, still not fix issue
Thank you......
How to do this ob a ET-1810?
Why are printers the most FRUSTRATING THING EVER INVENTED?!?!?!?
They certainly can be! I have found this printer to be the most useful. I hope you solve whatever problem you are having. Good luck.
Thank you. ^^
Thank you
Thanks for the video, their website is so frustrating!
You are welcome
Did you wait for the 12 hours?
thanksss men
Instruction starts at 2:35.
I'm just curious about what the "power cleaning" actually does. 🤔🤷
thank you perfect
You're welcome!
Thx
No problem
Epson 2780 here. Tried it and it never went into Power Clean mode. Tried every video on Power Clean and think this printer has a flaw that it cannot power clean. I'm tired of waiting 12 hours every day. Never again will i buy an epson
mINE AFTER 3 MONTHS WOULD NOT PRINT ANY COLORS OR BLACK
this did not work on the 2850
how to get it to power clean?
Why doesn't it perform "POWER" cleaning all the time?
Why have a separate "Weak" cleaning and "POWER" cleaning?
😆😆
