Printhead HospitalPrinter Cleaning Kit for Epson Canon Brother and HP Printers - 500ml | Easy to use kit to Clear Printer nozzles

A phenom kit. I have 2 Active Epson Printers ( WF1100 & R1900 ) that I recently observed a decline in print quality and 4 inactive printers ( C88+, R200, R260 and Photo 1280 ) which have been sitting between 2yrs and 5yrs+ which would not print at all.With minimal effort, I was able to clean them all and they all print like new. Heating the solution as described in the instructions was unnecessary.Only the C88+ required an overnight soak ( Black Ink ).This kit comes with a couple sheets of blotter paper. Cut the paper to fit into your printers carriage area ( see instructions ). If you run out of blotter paper you can use good quality lint-free paper towels to absorb the cleaning fluid.While you are cleaning the print head you should take the time to clean the part that cleans the print head inside the printer. Ink can build up there and cause a poor seal so cartridges won't charge properly due to air in the nozzles. Don't use cotton swaps ( Q-Tip Brand for example ) these can shed and leave lint or fuzz and that can block your print head.I was shocked that the printers that were sitting for about 5yrs would ever work again but this kit did it. I do keep the cartridges in the units and cover them when not in use or in storage so that may have helped.I also noticed that my Workforce 1100 seems to using less ink overall.EPSON Printer TIPS:1) I always use EPSON cartridges no off-brand. This may or may not matter depending on the print job.2) Leave print cartridges in printer during long periods of non-use or if you store the printer for some reason.3) Cover printer with a cheap bed sheet or some type of dust cover to prevent dirt, dust etc. from invading, especially the sheet feeder areas.4) Do at least a nozzle check every day OR print a printer test pattern sheet to keep ink flowing and to prevent print head build up and blockage. For daily cleans I use "Normal" print quality but every week or two I'll use the "Photo" setting and disable "High Speed" and "Edge Smoothing" options. This prints slower and lays down more ink.5) Don't use cheap copy paper or dirty ( dusty ) paper. Some of these cheap papers have a gritty feel and can clog your print head. And, of course, don't use dusty or dirty paper. Glossy paper can be wiped off if need be with a lint free cloth with some success but I strongly suggest keeping paper in a dust-free place. Keep paper in package or resealable sleeve and in a closet or file cabinet if possible.6) Shake new cartridges well prior to installation to ensure no settling has occurred. Black ink is more likely to contain particles which can settle at the bottom of the cartridge.FOLLOW THE INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS OR VIEW THE VIDEOS ON THE WEBSITE.Best of luck to all and I hope you have as much success as I had.

(I'M INCLUDING A PICTURE OF THE TYPE OF PRINTER I HAVE TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PRINTER - This picture is from Canon's actual product website.)Hello there!I have a Canon TS9020 printer and it's an okay little printer, however, when I was rearranging my room... I unplugged my printer and it was unplugged for a while.Printer companies make it so if your printer is not on constantly connected to power.... Your ink will end up drying up and you won't be able to print properly. In most cases.... You'll either have to swap out a whole print head (and some printer manufacturers make it 100% impossible to swap out print heads by making them built into the printer.....) or throw the printer away and get a new one.... BUT WHY???? My printer is perfectly fine except for the fact that it won't print right!!!!When used correctly.... This product truly does work!!!The key is to make sure that it's warm enough to really get the printer head unclogged. Luke warm works but I make mine really warm (not scalding hot, but I imagine if you know what you are doing and are not a complete idiot you'd be able to get even better results with the temperature being hot rather than warm. But if you are not experienced... Don't use hot solution only stick to solution that is warm to the touch!!!)I personally do not use the blotting papers.... I use paper towels.IF you're going to use paper towels.... Please use the good kind like Bounty or Viva as you don't want the paper towels ripping and leaving anything inside the printer.... Plus they retain more water! (I learned the hard way, learn from my mistake!)I absolutely cannot recommend this product enough!!!!!!I'm running out soon... Gonna be buying more..... So far I've cleaned my printer head 4 times.... Works great as a print head tune up (but uses a lot of ink to do the tune up so be careful.)

Seems to work well enough. Instructions and tools made it much easier to clean up most of the ink wells. (However, I had already damaged the printhead without using this cleaning kit. But will use the kit in the future if and when my new printhead ever clogs up again).Therefore, try using this cleaning kit first because the hose and syringes are helpful in the cleaning process, plus you have a lot of cleaning fluid to help you do the work.Update 7/10/19: Finally got a chance to use it. Worked as described. It took about 2-3 suringe worth to clean (to test out, then getting the feel for how to use it). I like it. Also, pleased that the amount of cleaner left over will be helpful for many cleanings in the future. Don’t try making your own cleaner, this one works well. Saves on not buying a new printhead or printer!

The printhead cleaner kit works "ok". I have a Canon Pro-10, and the kit comes with the adapter needed to fit the head of the nozzle. However, there is no seal provided with the fit and the solution simply sprays everywhere making a mess. I did make a gasket out of a piece of flat rubber and placed into the base of the adapter. While it is not perfect at least some of the solution is going into the printhead to attempt to clear the clogging. At this time my printhead is still clogged. I do not fault the kit on its inability to clear the head, I will need a more aggressive approach. I think the manufacturer could make their product much better with the addition of a sealing gasket to fit into the supplied adapters. My two cents worth
