i followed all of these instructions, but I still have a black vertical line on all my glossy prints. Question: when cleaning/wiping the ink from the print head, are you ever really going to remove all the ink? I'm referring to the ink under the silver/metal plate. When I gained access to the print head, there was a lot of ink that I cleaned up, but I don't know if it all will really come off. WIll it?
@@CopyPrintScanChannel Thank you for responding! The ink appears to be mostly gone. The black ink was everywhere! I cleaned ink from other places since I had the printer open and my vertical line is gone. Thanks again!
Nothing was working. Printed solids, to avoid printhead cleaning did not work. Regular cleaning multiple times and Power cleaning once did not work either. So tried this as a last resort and it worked. Thanks
Thank you for the video! I have the Epson ET-2803 and noticed my yellow was not printing. When I would print the "nozzle check" page, there would be no yellow showing. I tried the regular "head cleaning" option a few times but didn't see any improvement. I then tried the "power cleaning" option and it worked wonders. The nozzle check print now looks perfect. I did not have to do the manual cleaning as you demonstrated, but I appreciate knowing how to do that now if the issue happens again and the power clean does not resolve the issue.
If the ink level is good and ink is there in the supply pipes, then you may need to replace the printhead. After so much cleaning the printhead should work and if not then you need to wait for 48 hrs after clening or place new printhead. Best is to do auto printhead cleaning after 48 hrs for next few days, it may work after that.
Hi your video was great i got the ink to the cartridges and I was putting it back together when the screwdriver fell and I pulled loose two wires and now I don't know where they go i need another video telling me where to put two small wires
Can you send a photo ? Also look for the wires end part and see if it match with any structure to insert. If these wires are not connected then after assambling printer, printer will show error. That can give an idea if they need to be fixed or not.
@@Pugmom76 it took me numerous and I mean NUMEROUS prints to get it back to all the colors printing well so my suggestion is keep printing the blue color then once it’s getting back to normal print all again and see how it comes out unless someone else has a suggestion but you just need to get the ink going after converting your printer
The same thing happened to me and one of the wires came loose. Check all the connections. Especially where the hinges are towards the back of the printer.

Yes removing will help to clean it properly. But you can do it without that. I hope that helps.

Welcome!
Exellent video..Can I use alcohol to clean the printer head?..or water is better ?
Alcohol is good but you can use water.

Have you had any issues with this printer not powering on at all?
The power supply appeared to output 93volts ac and 41volts DC
notably not two steps
Thank you. Just did same thing and printer start work good again.
Great to hear!
My printer is just printing the cyan...i have done both the manual cleaning and power cleaning you demonstrated but please it still prints just cyan

I just converted my Epson et 2803 to a sublimation printer and it is printing odd do I have to do the first step or can I just do the power clean?
Sublimation colors are dull until you put them on something
You need to do color correction to Adobe and Gama 2.2. And like another comment said, it will be dull until sublimated.
@@944LS thank you for this I had done it and yes it came with dull colors for a while but eventually it printed amazing!
So my yellow isn't bad but blue is like nothing when I do the head cleaning print. I did it 3 times. What did I do wrong?
