I am 73 retired professional advertising photographer, I’ve own printer since they were invented, I really appreciate this. It saves me a lot of money and grief. I enjoy doing this type of work. Thank you, sir. I have a new fan.
Thank you so much for the compliment. I really appreciate the support. Hopefully I can continue to provide even more value with my content.
you literally saved me 400 bucks by doing this video...my printer was printing blank pages...tried everything until i saw this video, ordered the cleaner, followed the steps and BOOM ! all works! thankyou!
Ronda, I am so happy to hear you saved money with this solution!
Me tooooooooo 💯 👍🏼
@@BestPrinters can you pls reply to my comment
Thank you for the video. I finished all the instructions. I would like to add that once I finished flushing each of the tanks I had to order the Epson T04D100 Ink Maintenance Box $15 at Staples. Have to wait to see what the print output looks like. I also used Q-tips to remove any liquid residue around the print valves before re-installing the tanks. In addition as a precaution I would recommend purchasing a pair of goggles and plastic shield for your face in the event the cleaning liquid somehow splashes. Bit of advice to everyone is to hold the tube securely to whatever tank your flushing while pushing the liquid from syringe. Pushing the liquid through from the syringe does require some effort. Be careful. The last thing is the phillips head screwdriver from the suggested parts list is too large. I had a Belkin dual screwdriver (flat and phillips head) that worked. Thank you again for the video.
So glad I found you! The whole thing took about 30 minutes and saved me HUGE money! "DIY with the Printer Guy" is my new motto! THANK YOU!
Fantastic! I am here to help!
Hello Brandon, I don't know if you still read comments since this video was done 4 years ago. I have had an Epson ET4760 for 3.3 years. I love the printer and use it often. I had 200 flyers and 100 pamphlets to print for a ministry even last Sunday. When I attempted to print them the colors were off. When I did the print nozzle check BCM were fine, but there was no yellow. I went on RUclips to fix the problem I watched a lot of videos but yours was the best. I ordered the BP Printhead Cleaning Kit. Of course It did not come in time for me to print the flyers/pamphlet so I "farmed them out" to other. Today was the first chance I had to do the cleaning. As you demonstrated, it was very easy. I appreciated your step-by-step instructions. I did everything exactly as you demonstrated and it went "smooth as silk". With the exception of one problem. The white paper under the print head got wet and fell apart. I had paper towels on the right side which got soaked, as your did. I had a Sham Wow cloth to soak up excess. Now I am in the 24 hour drying time. My concern is the wet white paper underneath that is falling apart from the liquid. Do I need to replace this or leave it as is? Will my printer work when all is dry? Thank you.
I ordered the cleaner and followed your instructions for my ET 2760, and now the Magenta is finally working again! It was hard at first to push the solution through, but I kept pushing slow and steady until the 15ml was dispensed. Thank you!!
Awesome!
This worked brilliantly. Thank you for your very clear instruction. One point: the end of the video- instructions for the self cleaning component was a little rushed. I figured it out but barely. You need LOTS of paper towel and you should mention don't be shy moving the printing head over the paper towel. Thank you again! Fantastic!
Still helping us 3 years later. Perfect play by play. Worked seamlessly!
Awesome! Glad I can still help!
Thanks for this video. I appreciate the detailed, clear and confidence boosting instructions in your video. I often lack confidence in dealing with technology issues, and your strong encouraging words, saying that this is an easy fix, helped encourage me to take care of the problem myself.
I decided to try the deep clean FIRST, and that completely fixed my color printing problem on my ET-4760 printer.
The deep clean, which took about 10 minutes resolved my printing problem.
As soon as the deep clean was complete, I was able to print in color immediately after the 10 minute deep clean.
These are the steps I followed for the deep clean
Step 1: TURN OFF THE Product
Step 2: Visually check the ink levels and make sure each ink tank is at least one-third full.
****Caution:*****If you run a Power Cleaning when the ink levels are low, you may damage the product.
Step 3: Press and hold the power button and the help button AT THE SAME TIME until the Power Cleaning screen appears on the LCD screen.
Then I followed the on screen prompts....and completed the power clean!!!
DEEP CLEAN was painless, effortless, and EASY! The printer did all the work and I am back to loving my printer again!
Perfect!
I'll be! This actually worked on my ET-4760. I am impressed. Thanks for the solution kit and the precise instructions.
I would like to point out that the paper in the paper path got soaked and then jammed up when I turned it back on. Need to have some sort of plastic sheet to slide under the head along with the paper towels to prevent that. Beyond that this worked perfectly and saved me $500 for a new printer. Thank you!
Same. Wish I saw this comment before I started!
These instructions worked brilliantly. It resolved the issue of Cyan and Yellow not printing. The cost of the supplies from the links below was around $50. THANK YOU!
Awesome! Make sure to subscribe!
Very grateful for this fix for my ET-4750! Although I will say, it doesn’t seem to have been totally necessary to buy new ink to have on hand. Upon initiating the Power Head Cleaning, the printer said that the tanks only needed to be one-third of the way full. The Best Printer’s cleaning kit was a lifesaver though!
Awesome man! Thanks for the support!
I'm glad I came across this vid. I haven't done it yet, but this seems like a great solution. Apart from that, having this problem makes me feel regretful about buying this printer. This is going to be a recurrent issue.
I am totally amazed that I really did this cleaning correctly and it WORKED ! Thanks for the help
Glad it helped! Consider leaving a 5 star review on Amazon.
Bought the kit, followed the instructions, it worked fine. Thanks, guys.
this was perfect!!! thank you !!!, now after getting pissed for over a month , I finally decided to look up the problem and found your vid. It works perfectly. you just saved me from throwing another printer, tv, tablet off my cliff!!LOL, really- THANK YOU
I am so glad to hear this worked for you!
This was perfect. thank you so much I ordered the cleaner and used it just as you said. It is printing perfect now. thank YOU
Wonderful!
Blank pages from my Epson ET 4760 before this kit & video - now, we're back in business! Thank you for the product recommendation and the step-by-step video. BTW, I broke one of the clips on the printer head cover - thank goodness it didn't make a difference. 😮💨
Today is the day after Thanksgiving 2023.
This video helped me power clean my jets.
I didn't have to clean jets with the product but the power clean did the job. Thank you.
Great to hear!
Thanks for this video. I have an ecotank. I was able to run the nozzle cleaning program multiple times. It took six times. But it finally came through. This information is very useful. Thanks again. I'll know what to do when the printer can't clean itself
Awesome!
It worked! It actually worked ! The power cleaning at the end was a must regardless of what Eason says!! Thank you!
Great to hear!
Thank you for sharing this info, I've been only able to print in black for months now & it all started just out of warranty.
You are welcome!
Excellent instructional video. Thanks to you I have a free printer that a client gave up on.
You're welcome!
I followed you step by step and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Ordered the goods. Will be trying this later this week. Thanks for your clear tutorial 👏
Best wishes
Horray, this worked great!! Thank you so much!!
Great to hear!
I just did the deep cleaning and it worked, just saved $25 and time. Try that first!
Excellent!
Really appreciate it! Detailed, articulate....keep up the good work
Much appreciated!
great product, once i finally got it on the black ink nozzle, it fixed my printing asap but have a question i used it twice to print after the power clean and got this scanner error...how can i clear this scanner error 031006 on my et-4750 do i need to clean something? do you have a video
Thank you. You saved me $600. It worked.
Thats awesome!
I did.not go through the other post. Forgive me if answered
When you are doing a Power cleaning where does the excess ink go. I know about the pads that ultimately get washed .and reset msg. The auxiliary catch tank; is that blk or all colors. Once the auxiliary bottle is put in does this bypass error msg forever? Thx
Thank you very much for your video. This really helped me a lot just fix my 4760. God bless you more
Thank you I will take the blessings from God!
Awesome tutorial! Thank you for the links as well!
You are welcome!
My printer wasn't printing Magenta or Cyan. I watched this video and did the Power Cleaning task. That fixed my printer without having to do cleaning with the solution kit.
Great!
Thank you for the video, just cleaned my printer. Super easy with your instructions.
Glad it helped
This video helped solve my printer problems, great job with this video
Glad to hear that!
Worked perfectly. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for the instructions of the print-head cleaning video. This was truly very well done and easy to follow. One suggestion: the one most IMPORTANT thing that wasn't in the Epson instructions is that the Maintenance Box in the back of the printer also needs to be replaced AFTER the full cleaning is done. If you do another one of these videos, can you please mention that to others? Thanks again and regards.
Hi, I am glad the video helped. Yes I will make sure to mention that in the future.
I have ordered your cleaner. My problem is that I am unable to fill the ink tanks. I read that there is a chip that reads the bottle and type of ink. It seems the chip gets stained with ink. So I am trying to clean this area. I would appreciate knowing why I am unable to refill tanks with ink.
Great info. Thx for the link
You solution worked and my printer is back in business - thank you.
Awesome! Make sure to subscribe!
Thank you so much for this video. I will be ordering my kit tomorrow and will let you know how it goes. I am confident that it will 100% work.
Good luck!
I was in the process of putting ink in the 2720 for the first time. I wanted to put in sublimation ink and mistakenly put in the 522 ink. I got so far as the black and yellow. Since I had not turned on the printer yet, all the ink is still in the front printer wells. How do I get that out?
Does this work on a printer you converted to sublimation as well?
Can you show how to save ink from et3760 and flush it out so I can put sublimation ink in?
Excellent video, instructions were good, fixed my problem, thank you.
Great!
QUESTION: Is there Archival ink that I can use with the Epson ET 4760?
I purchase the et-4700 . Can you show the world how to collate with this printer? Thanks for sharing
Had to order a maintenance kit in order to run the power clean 😢. Should be here Friday.. wish me luck 😊
You got this!
Great video. One thing I wish you would have mentioned is if the unit still wont print all colors and needs power-cleaned you'll need to replace the maintenance tank.
Yes that is true, thank you for mentioning it!
That work so well
I bought the Best Printers Cleaning Kit and just used and ran my power clean. So far the print looks much improved. However, the printer jams up when trying to print double-sided now. Is there a way to perform maintenance on the print rollers or can I replace the rollers? Thank you for your very informative video. Much appreciated!
You can manually clean the rollers but replacing them would be very difficult. I am glad your print quality is improving though.
I bought your cleaning kit and followed the isntructions. It worked like a charm, but about 3 days later it was clogged again. Is it common that it needs to be done more than once? I was thinking maybe the problem was inside my ink tanks, but there's no access in there. What do you recommend?
Also, my printer stopped doing 2-sided printing. It basically says it's jammed, but I can easily feed out the paper using an arrow, so I don't think it's really clogged. Is there any help for that? Also won't. pull in the card stock that I've used for a couple of years. I'm hoping I don't have to buy a new printer.
I have an ET-4700. I don’t think the ink reservoirs are filling. I have the bottles in correctly but I can’t see any of the ink colors through the little windows in the front. How do I make sure the ink is even in there? If ink is not getting in how do I clean the nozzles so the ink goes in? After that, how do I get the top of the printer off? In the video you just lift up but the 4700 doesn’t do that. Thank you! -Emily.
Thank you! Totally worked and was easy. I lost the screw to the print cage. Any thoughts on a replacement?
Thats a tought one, I would try a small screw replacement kit, here, amzn.to/3GIibGi
It worked! Thank you so much. Saved me so much money.
I am so glad to hear that!
I have a Epson ET-4760 printer. i converted it to a sublimation printer and while doing so i accidently put blue ink in the black ink spot. it took me 153 pages of printing the darkest i could to run it all out. now my printer doesn't want to print anything. i just did this whole process you just showed above. can you possibly help or do i need to throw it all away and forget it. feeling overwhelmed
I have an Epson ET-4700 - the system looks the same but accessing the print head is different - any suggestions for accessing?
Thank you
Mine has this extra thing over it that I can't get the inks out with...any advice on what I need to do? I wanted to upload a pic and show you, but I don't see a place to do that :(
My Epson ST2000 wasn't printing the yellow, I did this procedure just as shown and now I'm getting "Printer error 031006" So I went from just not having yellow to rendering my printer COMPLETELY useless. Do you have a reset to get rid of this error reading? It defines as : "Accumulation of dust on these two printercomponents can cause this error code to appear". Which makes me wonder if the ink that blots onto the paper towels is reading as 'dust'. Any help would be appreciated.
I just finished doing this and was trying to do the power cleaning. Message says to remove the maintenance box cover. Is this normal? Do you have a video about this? Mine doesn't have a screw as shown on the display.
Note: If you open your printer and find that one of the small ink cartridges is empty, then you do NOT have a clogged print head. Instead you have a clogged ink tank! Ink is not being delivered from the tank to the cartridge. To fix it, put on your gloves, then remove the feed hose from the top of the cartridge. Make sure the syringe plunger is all the way down, so there is no open space in the syringe, then put the tip of the syringe into the hose from the tank. Pull gently on the syringe plunger, drawing ink from the tank into the hose. (If ink still does not flow, then you have a bigger problem) Then remove the syringe, empty any ink into a paper towel, and reconnect the hose to the cartridge. Reassemble the printer and run a power cleaning (it's the only way to completely refill the empty cartridge). The printer should now print correctly.
Hi Jim, I just got my printer ET-3760, THANK YOU, I have now, with your help figured out, INK TANK is clogged. Ive had printer, converted to sublimation ink, I took tube off at cartridge, used syringe and pulled ink out, none has ever made it to cartridge, issue is, Power cleaning, it says i need to replace my maintenance cartridge, WHY? Its brand new.. Im so upset with Epson.. IF I can get ink tank to clean up, what else can I do besides power clean?
@@carolnewton3741 I'm afraid you've exhausted my knowledge on the subject. I put everything I know into the message above. For mine, that was all that was needed. I see a video to the right about replacing the maintenance box - maybe that will help you. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this tip. My magenta cartridge, which is the one that does not print, has very little ink in it, but the tank is 80% full. I want to make sure I understand that disconnecting the hose from the cartridge, inserting a fully depressed syringe into the hose, and pulling the syringe plunger out will, in effect, pull ink from the clogged ink tank into the syringe.
If this is correct, do I need to flush the print head first AND pull the ink from the tank? Or do I just skip straight to your instructions?
I'm sure my problem is that my printer sat for several months without being used. If anyone has any suggestions for preventing clogs during extended periods of disuse, I would appreciate it.
@@ghwallace9 No, there is no reason to run a cleaning cycle first. It would just waste ink, and the clogged tank would remain clogged. Just follow the directions that I posted, then (as my directions state) run a power cleaning after you have unclogged the tank so that all of the cartridges are properly filled.
@@jimgilliland1722 Color me happy. Even though I didn't have the cleaning kit, I made do with a medical syringe to follow your instructions to unclog the tank. Bingo! Thank you SO much for adding the tip about the clogged ink tank.
Do you have any thoughts on what I might do the next time my ET-4760 is left idle for an extended period of time. The power cleaning DOES use a significant amount of ink.
Thank you again!
What did you place under the printer heads before injecting the cleaner and how did you clean up the mess left behind afterwards? It looked pretty messy.
Paper towel.
Will this work on an Epson ET 15000? I’m using it for sublimation and running into this issue where my nozzle checks are bad. I’ve done multiple head cleanings and printed multiple purge files to try to get this printer printing normally but it’s not working. Only improved mildly. I just unboxed off a few hours ago.
I have a Sawgrass too and never had this issue once. Ugh.
Yes it will work with that model.
Yes! It worked for my ET-15000!
Good video thank you!
You're welcome!
I'll be damned. it worked. Mine was so clogged my colors were not printing anything at all. Only black never got clogged because I print work papers every day and never use any color. Going to make sure I keep it on color prints from now on. Instead of forcing the cleaner through I just put the syringe on and pushed in 1ml. and let it sit for 30mins to break up the clog. Did that for yellow, red, then blue. Used as little cleaner as possible lol. and then did the power clean. then printed a test page. Worked the first time. I expected to have to do this at least 3 times since they were completely clogged.
Great tip!
Thanks. Have been working ever since. Still no issues.
Very instructional thks
Very welcome
Is there a way to change the tanks and replace them.
Hello I am about to perform this procedure for my blue ink which SUDDENLY no longer prints even though my Epson ET 3760 is barely ten months old and has been printing normally at least several times per week using all four colors since new.
So I have questions, hopefully you or the group here can respond . . .
1) Only the blue ink failed. The others print normally. So as long as I have the printed partially disassembled as you instructed, would it be worthwhile and reasonable to clean all four print heads as described in the video?
2) After injecting the cleaning fluid as shown, would it be helpful to then fill the syringe with air and blow that through to speed drying of the cleaning solution?
3) What would you say to those who have commented both here and on your Amazon printhead cleaning kit page, when they describe a lack of success after undertaking the procedure presented here?
Thank you
Hi I have addressed your questions below.
1. Focus on cleaning the color or colors that are currently having issues.
2. After injecting cleanig fluid and going through the whole process, you will need to run a power cleaning.
3. As for the folks that didnt have success with my product. There are many scenarios where the printer is not fixable ( ie. the printhead is permanently clogged). Or the printhead required multiple cleanings and the user failed to continue and gave up.
I hope this helps!
Excelente gracias 👌
De nada!
Thanks! Great tutorial. I am up and running. Question: When I hold the power and ? button power wash does not work. Says I have to create an account for $9.99 monthly. Is that accurate or am I doing it wrong?
That is strange, but I'm not surprised a lot of the major companies are trying to sell subscriptions. You may be able to bypass this message by hooking up your printer to a PC and running a power cleaning from there.
How can I remove the ink on an epson et 4670 and replace with sublimation ink?
Do the same & after you flush it clean add your sublimation ink . I have an epson et 2720
good video thanks
You're welcome
How do I completely remove the ink from the printer... I have the epson ET-4700 and need to change ink but don’t know how to remove the ink
Hello there. My printer is brand new - never used. I have filled up the ink cartridges with Epson ink, but the magenta and yellow do not print. I have done the nozzle cleaning and printer head nozzle check despite the unit being brand new and never used. No streak or lines in the nozzle report - just blue and black ink only (no magenta or yellow). Any advice for this? Thank you.
Yes you will need to do a printhead cleaning.
Can you just refill the black ink? The color still have over half the ink on my unit. When you go to reset the ink, will it reset just the black so the others still show half full. Or should I top them all off?
Hi, I have an ET4700. My printer does not have a hood that opens like the 4760. Any suggestions?
Super clear instructions, thank you. I think I may still end up with a problem because I don't seem to be able to fill the tanks. I have the proper Epson ink to put in with their individually shaped attachments so I can't mistake which supply I'm putting in but when I invert the ink it just doesn't flow into the tanks. If I clean the tubes through would that get rid of a possible airlock?
You should be able to clean the tubes with no issue.
@@BestPrinters I have cleaned the tubes and still can't get the tanks to fill with ink. I am using the Epson bottles and yet still nothing happens.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
What if you can't get the cleaning solution through one of the ink print head valves - YMC worked just fine but with the black I can't get the solution through the little nozzel.
This is frustrating bc my epson 4700 doesn't have options you're showing so let me know when you do..
ok
helo, my et 2710 dont turns on since cleaning.. :(. any idea to fix?
Completed process with cleaning kit. Cleaning fluid saturated the paper towel and got to the white piece underneath the print head. Did I wreck it?
No, just let it dry for 24-48hrs.
Hello, I ordered the clining kit. I opened the printer and saw the cartige almost empty, with a syringe I took the cartige out so I could suction the rest if the ink and my aim was to use that suction effort to be able to fill up the cartige with the black ink but it did not work, it remaines dry, so I believe I will have to use the clining solution there too.
Yes this kit works best with pushing solution through, instead of using a suction method.
Nice video, haven't tried it yet, but got a question. If you need multiple cleanings of each printer head, it doesn't seem like one bottle of the cleaning kit will be enough. The link says that it is only a 100 ml bottle. Unless I misunderstood, that is only enough for 5 cleanings. Did I misunderstand? I'm pretty sure that all 4 of my heads are pretty badly clogged and I don't think a single 20 ml cleaning of each head will be enough.
Message me on Amazon.
thnaks a lot, really appreciate it had to give you a like and subscribe...great video
Awesome, thank you!
Hi, can you help me with my printer I have an epson ET2760 I converted to sublimation and after not using it for a few months it look like the nozzles were clog band but stop printing at all after doing a nozzles cleaning. I try the best printer's cleaning kit but I had no luck. Nothing prints. Thank you
After using the kit also run a power cleaning.
The nozzle check only printed the blue lines. I flushed the black, cyan, magenta and yellow. the paper towel had ink from the black and cyan but the other too is just clear liquid. The ink tanks are full. I haven't put everything back yet to test. I wanted to see if this is normal? before I reassemble and do the nozzle check again.
Thank you for reaching out, THE NEXT STEP is to run a power cleaning. It sounds like you are in the right direction so far.
Have you ever taken sublimation ink “out”and put echo solve ink “in” an Epson 1500 successfully? If so I would love some tips. Thanks
No I havent but that does sound interesting. Are thinking about doing that?
Did you ever find out how to do this
just wondering how did you get the paper out before finishing up with the power clean?
With the rear paper panel.
I have a ET 4700 and I can't seem to open the top. It has a copier and I can't get it open. Can you explain to me how to get inside please?
You may have to unscrew the top, to have access.
@@BestPrinters I don't see anyway to open this. I ordered your cleaning liquid and recieved it yesterday. Now I have no way to use it. Any suggestions?
How do you open the printer to get to the heads? I have a ET-4700
Did you figure it out
I see so many videos about this, how often do these printers clog up?
Whenever you run dry ink for too long the printhead will clog up.
WORKS!
Awesome!
I always refer back to this video when my epson nozzles get clogged and it works Every time.
Awesome! You should subscribe!
Mine wasn't printing black or yellow on the test. However, just running the printer head cleaning routine under maintenance was enough to get black working well enough to print something urgent.
Great!
My blue is not printing, and all my colors are wrong expected for black. I have the ET2720 do you recommend to do this? If so How do I open the ink area my printer does not open to the ink nozzle like yours? Thanks in advance
Hi if the top of your printhead doesnt open then you wont be able to do this cleaning unfortunantly.
i did it but it came out good and then did print head check and then print head cleaning but didnt do power cleaning- do i still have to do power cleaning?
No if the colors are coming out the way they need to, you can save yourself from having to do the power cleaning.
This video was very helpful and the steps were easy to follow, but my ET-2760 is still not printing! I did all the steps including the power clean and the nozzle check was blank, no colours including black. My printer has been sitting inactive for a long time and there was a few weeks gap between cleaning it and doing the power clean because i was waiting on ink. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
also, i just tried to printer a document, and it had very faint magneta lines, a little small of text i could read (very faint and in magneta) and then also some ink blots (again magneta). do you have any tips for how to fix this?
Yes if you repeat the process and try using warmed up cleaning solution you should be able to get it to print.
