It took three power cleans to get my colors working again - they had complete stopped. At then end of it, my full colors were down by half a tank, and my 3/4 full black is down to 1/4. That's ridiculous, Epson! A year's worth of paint gone in an hour.

Thank you for this video! Got my colours working again after 3 print head cleanings and a 12 hour wait.

Very well made video. It was what I needed to get my printer going again after it sat for 18 months.

Thanks so much for this helpful video… I read a few of the comments & followed the steps you provided & they definitely got my printer back on track!

Thank you, this video was beneficial. The first run of print head nozzle check showed no gaps for black ink, but nothing was showing for YMC, then I ran a print head clean with the circle icon, the colours still didn't show. I immediately ran a power clean, and when I checked for the pattern, it showed up perfect. I even printed something with vibrant colours, and the colours were very vivid. Also, as a side note, my ink usage was not affected as much.

Thanks, this video was helpful. I have a question: At min 2:57, why not select Power Cleaning from the Maintenance Menu?

Only have black and yellow printing but no other color. I did one cleaning ill try another

How do I hold the control panel in its tilted up position. It is much easier to read in that position, but it will not stay up; it just falls down so that it is flat (flush with the body of the printer.)

The print head cleaning utility should allow you to specify the color that is having a problem rather than wasting ink from all of the tanks. Perhaps you can consider adding an automatic mini-clean cycle on some interval to avoid this issue. My cyan is clogged and I've performed several power cleans with no improvement.

I love this printer. I have had a dozen ink jet printers from HP and I will not buy another. The ECO Tank is awesome. I just had a LOW black tank from the original fill after 22 months and I started to get prints with incomplete back results. So, after 4-5 print head cleans, I decided to put a little more ink. The added ink helped but I still may need another clean or two and or maybe try the POWER CLEAN

I emptied my black print head since it was dry how do I charge just the black ink

I like the printer for the fact that it is economical to print in color with it, however I didn't know that you could not scan onto a USB key with it.
dommage!

The lines are perfect but there is NO YELLOW showing at all. What do I do next?

For power clean, I think I'm gonna get a 3000 psi gas powered pressure washer from Home Depot and wash the heck out of it.

Dump the "background music"!!! It's not needed.
