DEMONSTRATION VIDEO

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.

Funnel, suction cap, and dedicated syringe for refilling
Nitrile gloves for safe handling
Bottle of professional-grade cleaning solution

Need to recover more than 8 printheads? Additional seals and cleaning solution are available separately.

Before You Begin: Important Considerations

Not every printhead can be saved. Here's what to check before starting your recovery:

Ink-starved printheads: A printhead that has run dry for an extended period may have burned itself out printing with air. In this case, seal replacement will not restore function.
Deflated ink diaphragm: If the internal diaphragm has collapsed too far, ink may not re-inflate it, resulting in a permanently starved printhead.
Poor electrical contacts: Dirty or tacky contacts between the printhead and carriage can cause false errors. Clean both surfaces thoroughly before diagnosing a failed printhead.
Drop detector sensor: If the drop detector is obscured by ink overspray, the printer will not complete print system setup, even with fully functional printheads. Inspect and clean this sensor as part of your recovery process.

I’m Sure the Kit Is Great But…

It did not work with my print head. I think my print head is too clogged as I was unsuccessful getting the cleaner sucked in. The effort has proven to be useless.
