For most folks this should do the trick but I tried similar with my old 3640 and I never could get the heads cleared but it sat for long periods between print jobs. If you use your printer a lot you shouldn't have those kinds of problems. The good solution and properly sized rubber hose for the syringe is really important and I found some that was pretty close but not perfect for the head setup on the 3640. The eco tanks use a different setup to feed the ink into the heads but I bet that hose would work for many printers that you can't easily remove the head to clean it. Good video, keep up the good work.

Thank you for the video, it will be useful to know, my ET-8550 is just arriving. (I could not image there are men on this planet not having a screwdriver in their households)

Bonjour et merci pour la vidéo , existe t il des encres compatibles et de bonne qualité pour la epson ET 8550 ?

What if the colors you've cleaned aren't printing after the power cleaning step? I do a print nozzle check and it's like there's still cleaning solution instead of ink because it's printing wet lines but no color.

Hi I know I asked this question before but I bought your product but when I went to follow your video the Epson you were showing is different to mine so I followed all until I got to the part we’re You have to flush and Had no clue what to do after that so I have the cleaning kit and no idea how to get to the part we’re I have to put the syringe if you can help I have an Epson ET 1500 thank you

@BestPrinters 2 жыл бұрын

So after you do the flush with the cleaning kit, you replace everything and then turn the printer back on. Next you need to run a printhead cleaning.

I had a paper jam and it was printing crazy on it. I canceled the print and got the paper out of the printer. Since then it’s not printing correctly. I did multiple cleanings and the lines on the blue, yellow, & red still aren’t any better. I tried the solution and did the power clean again and those broke up lines are still there. Idk what to do at this point. Any advice? Or is it broken?

@BestPrinters 26 күн бұрын

If this problem happened after you have the paper jam I'm wondering if some of the hardware got damaged if that's the case, you may want to get a new printer.

Hello! I have a 8550 and I purchased it in August 2021. Today a breaker was thrown...we live in an older home. I have never had ANY issues with the printer and use in very, very often. I flipped the breaker, but the printer NEVER powered back on. I have changed numerous outlets, changed the power cable with another Epson I had, done a long power button press, left unplugged for approximately 2-3 minutes, and connected it to my MacBook with the provided USB. It will NOT power on. My network nor my Mac even recognizes it. Any tips or things I can try? Epson support is closed until Monday. I am devastated its just gone. Thank you!

The printhead is clogged and so you need to use the cleaning fluid to break up that blockage.

Repeat the process on Yellow, this may take several tries. Be patient and take a few days to complete it.
