Thank you!! This was the best, most informative maintenance video I have seen. I have had my 8550 almost 3 years, and never knew to do this! I am having banding, and the internal cleanings from the printer aren't helping. I just followed this tutorial and couldn't believe the gunk and build up on the print heads. I am crossing my fingers that it fixes the problem!
I'm glad that I was able to help to some degree.
Hey man thanks for the great video ...i just got my 8550 and gave it my first cleaning today... everything Went smoothly!
Excellent video!!! Thank you so much!
You're welcome, and thank you as well.
Thank you!
Thank you 👍
Awesome video. Thank you.
You're so welcome and thank you as well.
Your really helpful
Thank you. I try, lol.
hola Cómo estás? tengo unequipo L8160 que solo toma papel e imprime en tipo de papel fino. si le configuro a la impresora otro tipo de papel , al imprimir la impresora toma el papel, y cuando llega hasta el cabezal el papel regresa y da error de atasco . alguna recomendación? saludos desde Argentina
I'm using my ET-8500 for normal printing not sub. Can I still follow these cleaning steps? I'm having jamming issues when using thin glossy paper so I'm trying everything I can.
Thanks.
Yes you can but make sure to have your paper thickness set to the highest level.
@@DatInkzPoppin I'm using thin paper. 160 gsm 38lb. I watched as it printed with the top up and noticed the right side of the paper always snags at a certain part kind of near where the head sits when it's idle and it make the paper start to curl instead of exiting and that's what's jamming it. There is ink I need to clean on all the bottom and maybe cleaning the rollers will help too. I wish I could set it so the rollers or head was lower or something. I can only choose gloss paper. There is the thin paper setting but it doesn't say anything about photo or gloss. I really wish I could use a program the printer would understand where I could put not only size and texture but thickness in actual measurements or something. It's double sided gloss paper.
Hello! Thank you for this video! Very helpful
All of my colors are not printing. I’ve done all the suggested maintenance but still can’t get all colors to print. Ink levels are close to full. Any advice on how to correct?
Your welcome and what brand of ink and sublimation paper your using?

@@DatInkzPoppin It’s actually eco solvent and printable vinyl - Color Easy. Just rewatched the video and caught you mentioned sublimation.🥹 Do you have any suggestions for eco solvent?
Please help!!!I got an error message 000025 after my cleaning. When I turn my printer the headprint does not go over the capping station. How can I fix this?
Hello, excellent video, friend, I have one of those printers and the gray color does not go down to the head, since I filled the tank with ink all the other colors went down in level to the head except for the grey, the hose could be clogged, what do you recommend I do? ? I have already done the automatic head cleaning and nothing, the printer is new.
You know that when the ink is recharged for the first time and we turn on the printer, the ink levels drop, in my case they all dropped except the gray one, and consequently it is not printing well
If you haven't already try doing a power cleaning and let sit for 12 hours. If that doesn't work try using a syringe to pull ink through the lines.
@@DatInkzPoppin do you have a video with this process? This same thing happened with my black ink on initial setup and I’ve done the power clean and waited 12+ hours
Hi mine keeps trapping the paper , any help would be greatly appreciated. i think it has something to do with the rollers regards
If after searching for any trapped paper, tape, broken or loose gears. You may have to contact your printer support center for replacement or if it's not under warranty contact your local repair center.
My photo black is not printing at all. I’ve done many cleanings and even 2 power cleanings but still the same problem. Hoping you have a suggestion for me. Thanks
Have you tried using a syringe to help pull the ink through the lines?
I have 2 channels not printing at all. I have cleaned like you have shown, even drained the ink out and put in new fresh ink and the 2 channels still will not print. What is the next step? or would this be in the settings?
Have you tried purging or power cleaning?
I just bought my ecotank et 8550 and during initial setup, every ink tank charged except the black ink. Now I’m trying to wrap my head around getting that one ink to charge and I can’t find anything to help me. This is a brand new printer. Please help if you have any info on fixing this problem! 🙏🏼
What do you mean by charge?
Hello there, have you had a n issue with your magenta not printing? the ink level is not dropping. Printer is not even 2 months old. Any ideas or tips to fix it
Have you tried printing with a Magenta purge sheet for testing?
@@DatInkzPoppin no I haven’t will look that up, waiting for maintenance box to arrive today.
@@marcgyveredition8120 Okay, great, and if that doesn't work, try doing a power cleaning.
@@DatInkzPoppin no luck with the box change or power cleaning. Nozzle check came out with No magenta same a purge sheet. What’s your thoughts and recommendations on my next move
has your printer ever not turned on ?
I just got my 8550 printer a day ago. I'm having horizontal lines thru my 11x17 prints, but the 8.5x11 prints. (For sublimation) I've done all the alignment checks and cleaning from printer. I've done the manual cleaning with the paper towel and window cleaner. My bidirectional is off on the printer and my laptop. I still have horizontal lines. Anybody can point me in the right direction would be great. It's driving me crazy cause I just got this printer a day ago. Thanks in advance.
Mine just started doing this and I've did all of the maintenence also
@@LilJoeHamilton what ended up happening?
I know this is late, but what I did was made sure the settings in the computer were the same as on my printer. Turned off thick paper, set my print quality to normal on plain paper, I set automatic to standard and increased resolution.
I seen people pull the rollers off. Now they don’t get pizza marks! Roll marks
You cannot clean out the maintenance box and reuse it
You can modify it and reuse it with a chip resetter.
You can move a little faster with simple things. we don't need to be told 3 times to trigger an obvious latch.
Thank you for watching. I will be better next time.
You can fast forward to what you already know , People learn different , and people teach different , and since he took his time to teach for free , it is his choice how to do so .. Just say thank you and keep going
