    First I cleaned as instructed but after After the Power Cleaning- It works just like Brandon said! Brandon, You are terrific! I'm an old timer and happy I don't have to get a new on or pay hundreds to repair! One thing I didn't realize is that I have to make sure I print often to keep in in good shape!

    Saved my 11-month-old Epson ET-2720 from going to the trash dump. The black ink was completely blocked, and 3 power cleanings and 19 cleanings did not fix it but flushing the black print head with the kit did the trick. Very grateful, especially in terms of saving the printer from going to landfill. Thank you!

    I was already in the process of unscrewing the two under the display panel and then I watched your video and it gave me more insight on how to disconnect the lines etc. One thing to look out for is when opening the top be careful with white strips that connect to the scanner. I did that I’m that guy but I connected them back successfully,I’m use to iPhones and such. Thank you for the insight again. I have not bought the ink solution but I had a blast messing with the lines and putting it back together. Now I know.

The manual was useless and I couldn't locate anywhere online showing how to open the cover. Your video was so helpful in showing exactly how to remove the four screws. I appreciate it so much!

    Thank you so much for this video and the product. I did the procedure and it worked very well. This is another reminder to keep the pressure on these companies to give us the ability to maintain this equipment. I bought the EPSON to preserve the environment as best I can. I did have the unfortunate problem of having the little cable come off and give me the dreaded 100016 error code. I found another site that gave me the solution to that problem and I am up and running on all thrusters. Much appreciated. I have subscribed. Good on you, sir.

    the instructions on how to get access to the inside of the printer saved my bacon, some idiot around here (me) apparently dropped a micro usb cable in the paper feed, which I only discovered when I opened it up. The cable has been extracted and the printer is, by some miracle, working great again.

    This helped a lot. My printer was new so I didn’t need a flush and cleaning but upon opening I found that the motor was missing a screw and hand a screw loose. I was able to fish out the missing one and tightened them back up and it’s working all good again! Thank you I was frustrated trying to find a way to open this.

    Thank you so much!! I was nervous about taking this on myself but it worked perfectly. I wish I could attach before and after pictures, but my most recent nozzle check was perfect. I have a family full of Epson Eco owners so I know I'll be using your product in the future.
    I'm not sure if it's because it's a different series, but for my Epson ET-4700 I did not have to unscrew the two inner screws in order to get the printer open.
    Also, I never EVER leave reviews on CZcams so this is saying a lot! :)

    @Docinabox83 Před 2 lety +4

    This video saved my printer (ET-7270)! It was fairly easy but does take persistance. The video doesn't metion it, the instructions do, but you should warm up the solution before using it. Run the print head cleaning program under maintenance several times for it to clear out the solution and print again. I repeated the whole thing twice on 2 colors (yellow and cyan). No new ink refills were needed, and it is printing beautifully again :) I bought the kit off Amazon. It was $25, which was about double the price of the other top searches for similar products, but I went with it because it was the one in the video. Other kits may be just as effective but I didn't want to risk wasting more time on a different product. Thanks again for the very informative free printer support.

    Actually, you only need to unscrew the two outer screws. The other 2 screws are for the display panel. Thanks for the pen idea. I used this video for getting paper out that was jammed that I couldn't access using any of the Epson instructions. Thanks so much!

  • @drscouting6804

    Oh, there was a small piece of paper off to a corner and I'm hoping that removing it will allow the printer to work.

    This does help. The two middle screws are actually for the control panel, so it's not necessary to remove them, just the outer two.The two connector cables from the scanner came out when I opened mine. I managed to remove the side panel and get them back in. Back to printing!

    This worked for me. Shipped printer overseas and did not set up for a couple of months. No colors were printing. Video was very helpful -- and commenters too! Package insert is pretty useless.
    After flushing, I tried printing multiple hex code color blocks in BYMC but that was not enough to start ink again. One Power Cleaning brought the fresh ink through. Thank you for finding this maintenance hack. I write procedures and prepared clear instructions. Where may I send them so you can give them to viewers?
    BIG MAHALO!!!

  • @MR-wo6fq
    @MR-wo6fq Před 3 lety +5

    Many comments. 1. Excellent instructions in the video - very easy to follow. 2. I had to reinstall the scanner cables as those easily cam out of their slots when I opened the top (getting those cables back in was a hassle). 3. I bought the solution (and new ink) and did the flush of the problem spot (magenta) and it cleaned up pretty well as the video described. 4. Got everything set back up and did nozzle check and printer head realignment fine but no improvement. 5. Have since printed numerous pages to get the magenta going again and still nothing but yellow where there should be reds. 6. I have never had to replace ink in this printer as I don't use the printer that often - mainly because the issue with the magenta and the lack of generating the correct color. This printer is a PITA to say the least - I truly hate it.
    I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give as to other things to try to get the magenta back on track.

    • @BestPrinters
      @BestPrinters  Před 2 lety

      After using the kit you should run a power cleaning. That will get the Magenta pushed back into the system.

    Your video helped us figure out how to open up the top. Couldn't find those four screws. Had some debris that got into the back and were able to get it out. However, we didn't realize that a couple plastic cables came out on the left when opening it up all the way and got an error code. We figured out how to put it back in luckily and everything is great.

    Thanks for this. I did accidentally pull two of those flat cables out when moving the lid back after removing the front screws. It will pop out of the guides if not careful. I needed to remove the left side panel as an extra step and find where the two cables plugged back in. It was easy enough to do once I figured out how, but I did think I bricked my printer when it happened. My cyan was not coming through after the initial cleaning, multiple blue color heavy picture printings or nozzle checks but after 1x power cleaning all of my colors were printing perfect.

    I have always had problems with the print heads clogging up on all my EPSON printers. I switched to HP printers and found that the print heads never clog up. My last HP printer worked perfectly for 8 years. Eventually, in the 9th year, the print heads wore out. It was uneconomical to buy a new set of print heads after 9 years, so I bought a brand new HP printer. I've been using it for more than 3 years and again, the print heads never clog up. The big drawback is the ink cartridge cost -- they are about $50.00 each. OUCH!

      There is a waist tank at the back right side 2 screws I think. But there is no chip for it to be able to reset it. Once it is full that's it. You have to replace it and contact Epson who will go through a process with you to enter a code that tells the printer you have a clean one. There's a video on CZcams by a lady who goes into detail about it. I think it's called something like "before you do a power cleaning you need to watch this," anyhow its a lady with long brown hair and glasses.

Is this a problem that lies before the print heads? Or does it pull ink via vacuum and cleaning the heads will resolve the issue with the inkless tubes?

    I think Epson, since they took the hit on not being able to make money off of ink cartridges are wanting to make it just a bit extra hard to maintain a printer. These things go for $200 to $300 a pop and if they can make $ off servicing them or selling a new one simply b/c the waste ink cartridge is full or a print head is clogged, that stands to defray some of the money they used to make off of expensive cartridges. I am glad to see things are changing in the printer industry though; for many years the printer itself was mostly a money machine for the manufacturers to sell the cartridges. The only reason I own one of these though is because I do sublimation; I have a monochrome laser (toner based) printer that I use for all my day-to-day printing. I bought it and enough toner to print 3500 pages for about $130. On the rare occasions I need to print in color I just go to the public library or FedEx-- although the price of full color laser/toner-based printers are getting down to where they make sense for the casual home user. Thanks for this video; I fixed my ET-2720 and had it back up and running in less than 2 hours, and that was with allowing it to stay open for 45 mins. to make sure everything was perfectly dry. Thanks SOOOOO much!

A new printer,(Nov 2019), it was working OK , but now the color prints wont utilize all colors. Nozzle check indicates cyan only. I'm pissed, and baffled. What am I missing, I hardly ever use it for color prints.

      Yes I would like to do that. I have two of the Epson eco-tank 15000 Both have Cosmo Ink in them. I was told by a few people that if I change it out that it will tear the printer up. And then a few people said I could do it so I’m not really sure it’s a lot of money to be wasted if I mess it up. Someone also said the two different links combined if you were to leave some in there would turn to gel and lock up your printer. It is so hard to find information on converting from Sublimation to eco solvent.

Is there a way to clear that, maybe using a similar technique? I'm just not sure I can disconnect the well end of the ink line to access it. What else could the issue be if not that?
