Hello Henry ive done this method with my l1800 and then are cleared or at least they all spray out clean from the print head but whenni reinstall and run head cleanings i get a few lines of white and black but nothing else...why if it flushed clean
Hi Henry, I follow the steps in your video flushing all the inks from the print head and put it all back. But now when I on my printer, it will start doing head cleaning then end with two simultaneous blinking lights on the ink symbol and paper symbol. On and off printer few times also the same and printer cannot print... Checked in Google and few youtube videos from others, they said the rod is dirty and need to be cleaned. I cleaned the rod and still the same. I am stuck now... Can you advise on what might have gone wrong?
Hi sir, I have a Epson L1800 pigment ink is install, I wanted to convert to dtf, can I used the same ink for CMYK that is still in the tank and just buy the white for dtf or replace all the inks?
I have no idea anymore. Do we have a printer L1800 professional here? Printhead New 100% Function! Tested in the other machine Dumper New! All hoses tested and flushed Acro Rip reinstalled Why does my L1800 printer not print white? or it prints after initial print head filling very briefly beautiful white and then stops! It worked great for 1 year 🙁
i am using my L1800 epson ptinter since 7 years .Nowadays i am not satisfying in print quality may be it needs head cleaning and i am afraid of damaging printer while i can do it.
My blue ink is the only color that gone. I did first cleaning like what you have showed, and it was fixed. Unfortunately, the color next to it, red that never a problem before is missing. I tried clean, head cleaning still the same. So i have done second cleaning, for all colors but now both blue colors gone. I really lose hope with this printer 😩
I face this problem before. Then i change damper the problem solved. Anyway i try many suppliers of dampers. It look a same but the quality are vary. Jusr share my experience
Hello Mr. Henry! I have a Epson L1800 and it worked fine for the first month..now everyday when I'll do the daily maintenance, the white ink dampers are darker as if they're getting mixed with other colors.. do you know what may be causing this? It prints perfectly, just the white ink seems to be getting mixed.
Personally i try more than 5 suppliers of dampers when i face thia problems. From there i learn that all look a same. But the quality and performance may varies. Change print head is the last option because it is too costly.
Hello Henry. I have a L1800 printer and no matter what I did I couldn't unclog the magenta color. I don't think the problem is caused by the clogged head anymore. Because when I clean with software, sometimes 10 pores are clogged, sometimes 5 pores. When I clean it many times, magenta opens, I get 5-10 prints, but then it gets clogged again. Could this problem still be caused by the clogged head? Or could it be another problem? By the way, I usually do the head wash with isopropyl alcohol. Thanks in advance for your help.
I just purchased a L1800 last week. I couldn't get it to print white. I did the manual head cleaning like you suggested. It worked for 1 print. It was perfect. However, now I cannot get any white to print at all again. I did the manual head cleaning again, and it printed some white but not a lot. Do you have any suggestions?
Below is my practice to keep the printer healthy. 1) Daily Maintenance ( Please watch the video inside playlist ) 2) Only perform manual head cleaning when method 1 can not solve the problem. We must have correct mindset in this printing industry as below : NOT all DTF supplies ( Ink, Pet Film & Powder ) are the same. The only same is their physical foam. There are plenty of grade quality at market.
Hi Mr Henry, I've tried flushing cleaning solution through the nozzle but instead of it coming out from the print head, the cleaning solution came out from the other nozzle, is it normal?
Hi Mr Henry, I couldn't get my white to print. I tried the auto head cleaning for about 4 times and it works for a few prints (5 prints) The next day, the same problem happens again. I tried your step by step manual head clean but it still doesnt work. Now the black and white colour doesnt appear. Please help!
@@HenryTeoh I tried that, however I find it harder to extract the ink as compared to when I got the printer. The ink doesn’t seem to flow into the syringe
@@alvinglee8086 afraid ink clog inside the tiub. Remember this term. NOT all DTF supplies ( Ink, Pet Film and powder ) are the same. The only same is their physical foam.. Like all cars function are the same but got plenty of quality range.
@@HenryTeoh do you have any recommendations for ink and PET film? I’ve been pushing back my orders due to this issue ); currently, is there anything I can do to unclog the tube?
Change damper is first option. I didn't try ultrasonic method until now. Help below quotes may help you : Not all dtf supplies ( Ink, Pet Film & Powder ) are the same. The only same is their physical foam. 😅
Just wanted to know if you give me some advice my printer is printing lines in white did headed cleaning with solution and they they are not clogged the white is not coming out smooth
When this happens to me, I will check the healthy of the damper. Damper is a consumable part for the printer. My printer nearly 2 years old and each color damper already change 2 or 3 time but print head still good.
@@HenryTeoh What Stephanie is trying to convey is that she would appreciate it if you could demonstrate how to change the damper clip, since she was a newbie and clueless.
@@stephaniesoo4640 Check out this video; he demonstrated how to change the damper. Simply skip to 2:00 in the video. ruclips.net/video/gArkXJLWc90/видео.html
I cleaned my print head and refitted and now I can't power the printer, it is not turning on. I am wondering if I damaged the power board when I removed the power cable to move the print head into the centre.
@@HenryTeoh I read on FB that a guy had similar issue when the cable was attached to the print head so I took the cable out and the power came back on. I think it was in at the wrong angle as I now have power but the head is still not printing. I used a standard print head ink cleaning kit off eBay, do I need to use a special DtF kit instead? Going to try and give it a go in the ultrasonic cleaning machine I ordered.
This printer is a disaster. I spent 6hrs cleaning nozzle, flushed damper, shake the ink tanks, cleaned the print head and it still doesnt print white perfectly. Mine is only 2 month old and its trash.
I can understand your pain where I go through before. What I can share with you is Not all DTF supplies ( Pet Film, Ink & Powder) are the same. The only same are their physical foam. In the market there are plenty of grade quality suppliers. Explore it.
Mine is less than a month old. Still using the ink that come with package deal I ordered. Now the white will not print at all. Have flushed the lines and cleaned the heads so many times and still can’t fix it. Any suggestions?

This is exactly what I was looking for! Super helpful thank you!
You are welcome. Share out this channel to benefit more beginner users.
wishing you Happy New Year 2024!! Thanks
For whoever does this method I DO RECOMMEND to unplug the cables from the printhead before you flush it. Trust me on this !
Anyone who says "Trust me" with no explanation on why to trust what they say seems a lil sketchy
@@DjVerasMusic or you can go the hard way and burn the printhead's motherboard. Nothing sketchy here, only your thoughts.
It's quite logical actually.
Make all sense...

Can you advise on what might have gone wrong?
Look like the waste ink counter indicates full. Get Epson Adjustment Program to reset the counter
You blew a fuse on the motherboard, prob got the circuit wet
Yes. This may one of the reasons
is it okay to completely remove the foam from the dock? so white wont mix whit cmyk sometimes?
Mr Henry I have a procolored A3 DTF printer can I order a print head from another company L1800 is the one I have. Are all the print heads made alike
Hi sir, I have a Epson L1800 pigment ink is install, I wanted to convert to dtf, can I used the same ink for CMYK that is still in the tank and just buy the white for dtf or replace all the inks?
Can not. It is different type of Pigment Ink.
I have no idea anymore. Do we have a printer L1800 professional here?
Printhead New 100% Function! Tested in the other machine
Dumper New!

After I do the manual flushing my printer wont turn on. What to do?
How often should it be cleaned? On average we do 50 prints every 2 weeks
Usually i just do the maintenance before i start that day of printing job
What kind of cloth do you use to wipe
Usually I use tissue paper.
Please can you list out the items of what you used in cleaning the printer head
Cleaning liquid in turquoise colour. Not the transparent. Get it from ink supplier
Thank you so much.

Why my Epson L1800 printer print out nothing. Is it something wrong with Acrorip software?
Do nozzle check print. If everything is fine, mean setting at Acrorip got problems. But if the nozzle pattern are not complete, it mean head clog.

Great..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
hi mr henry, what is the time schedule to do this cleaning maintenance again?
When syringe maintenance can not solve the clog issue.
