    Re-created with Audio Fix. Thanks for the comments. Today we are going to talk about how to unclog dried Epson OEM inks. Many people keep using Epson’s OEM ink because they believe that Epson OEM ink won’t clog the printheads. Actually, dried pigment ink is the hardest type of ink to unclog, and Epson’s ink is even worse.

      Hi again Kevin!
      I was curious and waiting for Part 2 of this video to come out, as I'm interested in seeing the method for which you would unclog a DURABrite Ultra (pigment) EPSON model. Will it be out any day now? :D

    Is that you, Kevin? The gentleman in this video sounds a lot like who I spoke with when I was called back to assist with my EPSON Workforce 610 clogged CYAN & BLACK nozzle problem. It was a pleasure and this video is great, way more informative than any other in the same regard 😁

    Like most people, I'm lazy and decided cleaning, wait 12 hours, clean again repeat 12 times was just more work than I had time to do so I orderd a replacement head from the A to Z company (no free advertizing) but when it came it was a used and poorly cleaned head that didn't work so now I'm about to do your method with one change - I decided to put the head on a long soak in a vaccuum chamber to suck all the air out before I try priming the head with ink. I'll post the results later to see if vaccuum method works. I got the idea from Jose Rodriguez Photo Printing Teck channel. A long time ago I bought a cleaning kit like your RED but the tubes that came with it were way to large and just leaked all over. I hope you have a variety that fits the WF 7620.

    My old Epson R2880 A3 printer stopped printing black years ago - I'm assuming the other other colours have seized by now as well... But I'll follow this and see if I can get the old girl working again... Its a great printer - expensive to run, but very good. I'll admit I tend to use low quality ink for most prints... its only "proper" prints that get the good stuff.

  • @RokhanKMT
    @RokhanKMT Před 10 měsíci

    In my expirience - this is very time wasting and dangereous method.
    I'm talking about doing all this work INSIDE the carriege. It's better to get out printhead, place it on towel or wool disk soaked with cleaning liquid and let it rest for some time.
    Then you use same tubes with syringe to flush cleaning liquid towards untill you see straight "rain". Then dry PH, let it some rest on dry towel and you can run it.
    This is a little bit risky, but works very fast and with great results

    I'm injecting the cleaning solution to the clogged nozzle, but why is the solution coming back up through another nozzle? For instance, injecting solution to yellow nozzle, the solution will come back out of the magenta nozzle instead of going onto the waste/blotting paper.

    • @BarrieBrown
      @BarrieBrown Před 2 lety +1

      perhaps check the setting for thick paper? I understand it lifts the head slightly to avoid blots/smudges

  • @benx104
    @benx104 Před 2 lety +1

    So I must have damaged the black ink channel, and fried the chip board under it, with flushing it with cleaning solution, and pushing too hard, because, now the black refuses to print anything, while all the other colors work perfectly. Guess I have no other choice now, but to buy the red solution, and try to do even more damage by letting it sit on the print head overnight.

    I have an Epson Et4550. So what happened was I basically let it sit for about a year because of this pandemic until I realized what I had done. Initially it wasn’t printing anything on paper. I watch your video I bought the solution and it’s almost work. I got three of the four colors to come back. Black refuses to come back. Not only that, and one print heading also check I think I’m making progress, on the next one I’ll get no black at all. I’ve been doing this for two weeks man. Need some advice

    My company has a Direct Color Systems 7200z that's based on the Epson Stylus Pro 7900. I believe we have a clog that occurred after our quarantine ended. I've been unable to clear it. I'm very reluctant to remove the head because I don't know how to calibrate it after. And I can't attach one of the EPSON clearing carts to it because of the way it's set up.
    Do you have any advice on how I can clear a clog or troubleshoot to see if it's a clog or a bad print head? The error I'm getting when I try to run is Fatal Error 1A39.
