Print head cleaning: how and when?
 |
| This is what a printout with a dried print head looks like |
Do you feel that your printer is not printing like it used to?
Is the print faint or is one of the colors missing? Are blurry prints or incorrect colors bothering you? Or perhaps the printer does not print at all?The answer to this problem is a dried-out print head.Cleaning the print head from the computer
If you notice poor print quality, your first steps should lead to the computer. Using the printer driver on your computer, you can start print head cleaning. The printer will attempt to clean the print head by dispensing a larger amount of ink. The ink itself contains solvents that can help loosen dried paint. The print head nozzles will be flushed with new ink, and the problem may be resolved. Since this cleaning consumes ink, it is necessary to make sure that you have enough ink for the cleaning. The printhead with an empty cartridge cannot be cleaned.
Removing the print head
If the cleaning method from the computer is not effective, it is time to use a print head cleaning solution. To use this solution, you must remove the print head from the printer.Fixed printheads cannot simply be removed and cleaned on some printers. First, you need to determine whether you can remove the head.Of course, with a disposable print head that is located directly on the cartridge, it is the simplest. After turning off the printer, remove only the cartridge.If the print head can be removed, you're halfway there. If the print head cannot be removed, you can ask your service center whether the repair is still worth it for you at all.
How to clean a removed printhead with a solution?
For home cleaning of dried print heads, a cleaning solution for print heads is used. It is best to apply the solution using a cotton pad. Then all you need to do is wipe the nozzles on the print head a few times with this swab, and the operation is complete. If you have done everything as described and the print is still poor, repeat the procedure until you are satisfied with the result.
