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.

Good results

With the kit I was able to recover 2 or 3 non working printheads. With the syringe and needle I was able to remove a blockage in an ink tube from the print cartridge to the printhead. I highly recommend.

Was worth a try

The kit is very good quality. The directions were pretty straightforward. But it didn't fix the problem. Ended up having to buy some remanufactured printheads. Hopefully they will work. It's ridicules to have to replace a perfectly good plotter becayse they don't make the parts anymore.

Adequate

The kit was complete and I was pleased with the products. However I was not able to repair my printhead. My printheads were most likely too damaged.

HP 500-800 Printhead recovery kit

I had little hope I could get my poor old HP500 plotting again,, These folks are the BEST! All colors and lines are crisp and clear again. Is a pretty easy process but WEAR THE GLOVES! No matter how careful I was I ended up with stained fingers. Good idea to do this is a disposable aluminum baking pan or a shoebox lid or something.
