UPDATED Printhead Recovery Kit for HP 70, 72, 73, Printheads

DEMONSTRATION VIDEO

 

Includes:

-Alcohol wipes for cleaning the printhead electrical contacts

-Funnel, suction cap, dedicated syringe for refilling the printhead

-Nitrile gloves

-Bottle of cleaning solution

-Upgraded purge tool with depth-limiter

-12 custom printhead seals compatible with all HP 70, 72, and 73 printheads

-Seal installation tool

This kit is suitable for recovering 6 printheads. If you plan to do more than that, additional seals and cleaning solution are sold separately. 

A few considerations:

-If a printhead has been starved of ink for a long time, it may have burned itself out by printing with air instead of ink. If this is the case, that printhead will not recover with the installation of new seals.

-Even if a printhead has been starved for only a short period, if the internal ink diaphragm has deflated too much, it will sometimes not allow ink to re-inflate it, and the printhead will remain permanently starved.

-Sometimes the electrical connection between the printhead and the carriage is poor. Make sure to clean off the printhead contacts as well as the contacts on the carriage. If either of those surfaces feels tacky, you've still got cleaning to do.

-If the drop detector sensor is obscured by ink overspray, it will not properly detect the ink droplets, and the printer will not complete print system setup even if the printheads are working with perfect quality. The sensor may require cleaning.

It is a good tool but the HP designjet printer did not like being fixed

Nothing wrong with the tools once you understand it. the special cap to draw ink through the printhead has sides, one works and one does not on the 2 color printhead. It is not clear in the instructions this is the case. My biggest reason for the 3 stars is that in the end, I had to get new print heads to fix the machine. It is a 50/50 proposition that the tool will work, at least for me. I am not sure why the printer faulted out under 90 day old 72 print heads. Wish there was a log file to review to see what fault caused a problem in a T2300ps printer. Most of the time, it is throw parts at the machine until is works. LPS is great with Tim willing to provide his expertise on older HP designjets. How to approach the problem, and suggest solutions. LPS is a great resource most importantly of knowledge.

Resurrecting Printheads

Forget everything else you found on Internet on the subject. Here is THE place. Worked perfectly. Especially useful now the Matt Black / Red are getting rare for the Designjet Z 3100. Thanks.

Interesting Exercise

Updated review from Oct 23rd.
My problem was two fold, the aerosol fan was the first problem and once that was replaced things started to fall into place, but it was a long process of updates re-seats & re-starts.
If, like me you own an ageing Z3200 and get the "re-seat print head(s)" message then this kit is worth investing in, if only for the little seals and the tool to insert them. The cleaning fluid will never go astray, although it looks and smells very much like Windex.
The thing I found after getting into a mess with this was to repeat the re seat process over & over again, I eventually got there.
Bleeding/pulling the air out is also useful information as shown by Bob.
Good luck.

This kit worked perfectly

Followed the instructions exactly and the kit did it's job perfectly and restored our T1100PS to working order again. Warning to Canadians: Prepare for UPS to charge you $50+ for customs importation fees on top of the cost of the kit. (Not LPS's fault)
