Demonstration Video - How to Use

*Ink starvation of the printhead caused by poor seal at printhead port*

This is the main reason you see the "printhead replacement incomplete" message. Here's what happens: The printhead is starved for ink, fails to put ink through the drop detector -> results in failure   to complete print system setup, and the printer returns the "printhead replacement incomplete" message. You've probably endured the long, annoying process of getting the printer to accept printheads. Printheads which may be perfectly good, but due to worn seals on the ink tube system, the printer cannot accept the printheads. The seals in this kit solve that problem, permanently. 

To address this problem, first step:
Simply remove the production print heads, insert the tool and draw out ink and air bubbles. The tool can be used an infinite number of times and is a very handy tool for technicians and end users.

Next step:

Use the purple tweezer tool to install the printhead upgrade seals onto the printhead needles. Re-install printheads into the printer, and allow the printer to complete "preparing print system." 

Once the printer has run printhead alignment calibration, the printer will be ready to go to work!

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.

Seals

in my case the seals wouldn't let the print head sit properly and the printer wouldn't accept it (z3200) I was able to purge air from the lines and the "e" ink was able to be recognized as having ink. I ended up ordering remanufactured print heads since some were still not properly delivering ink

Bought this to purge air from two Z3200 and Z3100 printers. Syringe works great! I use the ink I pull from the tubes to prime printheads at the same time so the ink doesn't go to waste (requires a head priming tool from another seller). The seals install ok, the little install tool is very handy. Works just like shown in the video! Hope they reduce future air getting in. They do make the head sit higher on one end, and this seemed to cause my z3100 to repeatedly request a head to be reseated after startup, but once I added the seals to the other heads it was fine. Would be awesome if LPS added a kit for purging the ink tubes and the printheads both, with 2 syringes to do 2 colours quickly without cleaning. Cheers

Giving it a try

Not sure if this will work. So far problem with light blue color got better but did not go away. Had to trim size of small seal tube to get the printer to align printheads.

Bummer it didn’t work

I followed the directions on the video, the print heads still didn’t work.
