This works for me. Position the ink like you were going to change it. Then un-plug it from the power. (A MUST) Put a folder paper tower on top of the point and push so that it sticks thru. (This is incase you drip.) Then put a drop or 2 of the blue windex window cleaner on. Don't use much as it will drip down. Do these a few times, but let it sit overnight. Sometimes an hour works depending how blocked it is.Clean ink cartridge in a espon printer?
I do not now much about Epson printer as I do not like them but I believe you can but special cleaning cartridges that you put in and they work like the ink ones but there is cleaning fluid in them not ink and these unblock the printer. There are some in the link below to give you an idea. http://www.internet-ink.co.uk/printer-cl鈥?/a>Clean ink cartridge in a espon printer?
Not a very specific question. If you want to know how to do a cleaning, hold down the button which shows a drop of ink and wait a few seconds. If you want to know how to unclog a clogged head, try this:
leave the printer on for a day
run several head cleanings and print the nozzle check pattern
if that doesnt fix it, remove the cartridges and drop alcohol where the ink enters the printer.
reinsert the cartridges
run one head cleaning
wait about an hour then run some head cleanings.
if that still doesnt work, your heads may be clogged to the point where they need repair or replacement, which will probably cost more than a new printer.
If you need a new printer, right now Epson is having a blowout on the 5-color R280 for $60. It even prints on DVDs.
