I had the equipment already (tubing, syringe & isopropyl alcohol) & followed this process. I pushed about 5ml of isopropyl alcohol through my blocked magenta nozzle and bingo - 3-4 cleans & a few big prints later it is 100% good as new. Thank you for posting this.

I bought it, I did what you said, and it worked perfectly. I am no longer a doubting Thomas.

Your video is useful, i have one of this printer often needs to fix this head broblem

[MarioHachemer]

Thank you! It's so appreciated to find a video exactly for your printer!

Bought 2 years ago for another Epson, just used it on yet another printer - still works perfectly. Thanks for the detailed instructions!!

Dude, your a life saver, I purchased the yesterday and cleaned the heads today, did it 3 times, cleared all my issues. Thanks for your video.

I have been fighting with my new printer for days. I have tried different methods and nothing has worked. Thanks to you I got ink coming out of my printer now. Now I have to figure out how to get the ink out of the cartridges lol. Thank you I’m one step closer to going back to work

I get nothing but blank pages on my WF-7720. I've done nozzle checks, printhead cleanings and purges. I'm praying this will work!! I'm pacing an order for the cleaner today!

[rbarb]

Ordered yesterday arrived today and it worked great. And enough solution to do at a later date if needed

[matthewb]

Would've been nice if you could've answered some questions

[derekmcgrew]

I just used this and when I was done the printer didn't print anything at all... However, it seemed to me that using common sense, the cleaner fluid is what is in the printhead... so I let the printer clean the printhead I think four times and now everything works great. It's probably a product that could be easily reproduced, but I'd rather pay a little more than driving from store to store.

My workforce 7710 has been printing greenish pictures for some time now and tried the nozzle check and all that stuff didnt work I seen this video and purchase this stuff and my printer is good as new I highly recommend and its easy just like the video took me 5-10 minutes :)

[harrymengers]

Thanks for the instruction which I carefully followed. Now the printerheads release no Ink at all, even after replacing the cartridges with new ones. Please advise. Thank you

After running the solution through and disposing of the paper towel, does the printer need to sit unused for any length of time or can the cartridges be put back in and printing continue?

[rockulikeahurricane]

I used a tube that came off my husbands old jet ski.. not sure what it was used for but worked perfect for what i was needing it for 😂

[Chreis]

Would you expect this to work for my 7110 that has been clogged from no use for several years (used sublimation ink)?

[Mr-giwk]

Well, I did all this with your kit and now the printer says error code:0x9a and it doesn't print at all. Ink cartridges are brand new never been used. My guess is that 20ml of your cleaning solution x 4 holes for a total 80ml liquid is more liquid than a few sheets of paper towels can absorb and now there's liquid in the printer? I just bought 2 XL packs of all colors printer ink for $160 thinking all would be fine. Any thoughts here or do I need another printer?

[angelawhite]

Thank you, it worked for me...I'm so relieved. Have a wonderful Xmas and New Year, from Melbourne, Australia!

[sarahmomoromero]

What do I do if the syringe isn’t pushing any of the liquid in? It looks like it should flow easily. Is it possible the printer head is too clogged to let any of the liquid inside? Any advice?

[phiwife]

Do you meed to do a nozzle check after you finish adding the cleaning solution?
