Thank you so much
2 flushes and fixed
Thank you VERY MUCH for the BRILLIANT tip of cutting the power when the print head is out of its resting position! I followed your advice, and was able to clean the ink pad underneath, and the adjacent areas.
That’s great 🤩
Think I'll do this on my printer, just want to say that not only was the video helpful but I appreciate seeing how you answer everyone who asks a question clearly and politely, small things like that build perception and let people know that they can trust your advice and products. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thanks very much for the kind message. Would you please subscribe to my channel 😀
@@Theinkrefillexperts still watching in 2021 😁 awesome video! Thank you hun
Just done this to my WF-2750 and it worked a treat. Had to do three passes of the print-head cleaning routine before it came totally clear. Many thanks!
You are very welcome 😀
Excellent product. Followed isnstructions and cleaned blocked print head on Epson WF-2530 first time.
That’s very kind !!! Thank you 😀
Fantastic tutorial, very clear & concise. Just ordered the kit, hopefully it will rejuvinate a trusty old Epsom. Many thanks.
Thank you very much
I was so close to scrapping my Epson scanner/ printer as the head clean process wasn't working. I have only recently learned the heads can be cleaned like this. All makes sense now. Good tutorial. Thank you.
Hello John, you are very welcome.
Saw this video and bought your printer head cleaning set. It's brilliant - thank you. I thought I was going to have to get a new printer as head cleaning alone just not working. Cleaned it just once and now works perfectly. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much 😀
Most impressed! Blocked head cleaned first time. Very clear instruction gives one confidence to have a go. Will be looking at cartridge purchase from you as well.
Thanks very much for the kind comments.
"Unplug the Power Cord While Printing to Unlock the Cartridge Cart" Brilliant! Great example of thinking outside the box... literally! Thanks for that and the additional info in the video!
Hello , did it work for you ? 😀
the safer method is to locate the cartridge lock (usually white in colour) and push it.
So pleased, I thought I needed to buy a new printer but this has sorted it out completely. Highly recommended
Thanks very much 😀
After many months of not being able to print blue on my Epson printer even after many cleaning cycles, I watched this video and I was able to easily clean the print head and now I can print blue again! Thanks for the tips I learned here.
Steven Miller you are very welcome. !! Thanks for the feedback. Can I ask which printer you have ?
I have the WF-3620 that I figured was ruined. I was using a backup printer but now I have two workable printers. I do refill my own inks in refillable cartridges which I've been doing for years without any problem. Thanks again!
Steven Miller no problem at all
So glad I saved this very helpful video, I have used it once a year on my Epson printer and it works every time! Thank you.
That’s brilliant, great to hear of another success story.
This video just helped me heaps!! My Epson printer has a self cleaning option but it just wasn't working properly, after doing this and doing a nozzle check came out perfect
That’s great, thanks very much for the very positive comment.
Worked a treat. Thank you
You are very welcome.

Thank you for this info. This is the first time I have encountered a blockage that the printer couldn't clean itself. I thought I may have had to buy a new one but you have given me hope. Have an awesome day!!
You are very welcome.
Brilliant. It would have been nice to get a whole sheet of blotting paper, but aside from that this is excellent value for money and I only wish I had found you before. Thank you.
Kitchen roll works far better than anything 😀
Extremely helpful! Thank you for saving my sanity today 😭 Printer is up and working again finally!
Thanks for the kind comment 😀
Very helpful, thank you!
You are very welcome. Where are you from ?
Mine arrived this morning. Ran it through twice on each head till the paper was relatively clean. Still took 3 print head cleaning cycles to get a good nozzle check but I'm chuffed to bits. Thanks Printer Refresh. Arrived really quickly too. Printer is Epson XP-3105.
You are very welcome 🙏🏼
Such a helpful video. Got the kit, followed the instructions to the letter (flushed out one cartridge several times and the others once,) and hey presto! my printer prints like new. The replacement printer that is sitting in the hall after hubby went ahead and bought a new one without giving me the chance to try clearing the old one, is now going back, saving us over £70. thankyou so much.
Thanks for the very kind comment 😀
This works! Thank you so much. I have a Epson XP 412
Thanks very much !
Thank you! I just cleaned my Epson XP-424 using your steps!!! It's working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s great news. It’s amazing how quickly Printer refresh clears blockages , which colour did you have the issue with ?
I had an issue with the black color, and now is working perfect! Again Thank you!
That’s great news. Would you please subscribe? X
Work perfectly, I thought i needed a new printer, but this stuff fixed it, Its 100% from me.
Thank you
Thank you very much 😀
Thank you. Your video helped me sort out my issues. Prints a treat now.
Thanks very much , what issue did you have out of interest ?
After having my Epson Stylus SX610FW for over 4 years the printer just suddenly decided to not print properly and just thought this was because the printer was old. I was sceptical that this product would work but decided to try it before I bought a new printer. I can't believe how well this has worked! I cleaned every head with the product and I've never seen better results. It's like the printer is brand new! Fast delivery and easy to follow instructions! Thank you!
That’s very kind !
Thank you.

This works! Thank you so much.
You are very welcome. Happy to help you.
Thank you for this very helpful information. I used whatever I had on hand and followed your instructions. A small adjustment and three test print and its good as new. Thank you again.
What did you use for solution?
Hello, it’s called printer refresh, it’s available on 118ink.com
Thank you SO much! It prints perfectly now. I just cleaned it with some alcohol prep pads that I had and that did the trick.
Great! can you tell the step's you followed. Cause i couldn't get the solutions online 🤕
I had a totally blocked black print head, not 1 speck of ink was getting thru. I had my doubts about this working but after 3 flushes its working like new again. I still have enough fluid left to do this another 10 times at least. Amazing stuff.
Thanks very much 😀
@@Theinkrefillexperts I was able to flush and am still able to get a little color to easily flush out (not muddy and thick like before though, whew!), however now that I want to print, the printer goes through all the motions, but does not print anything except yellow. The cartridges are new and a little could be printed from each prior to flush and head cleaning, but now the paper receives NO ink from any cartridge except yellow.
Epson XP-420
Thoughts?
Thank you!
I would try sucking upwards with the syringe on each ink line.
There is air mostly likely are also blocking the lines.
Then run at least two head cleans to help the ink back into the ink lines.
I hope this helps.
Thank you
@@Theinkrefillexperts will do, thanks! :)
Yes it does 😀
I am glad the cartridges will be happy in the cling film while they wait!
A happy Cartridge is a happy Printer 😀
😹😹😹👍
😂😂😂
Thank you so much ...👍👍👍
You are very welcome
I followed this tutorial and it really did fix my printer head. I used warmed up Mrs. Meyers instead of this solution and a syringe with the hole extended from a screw driver. Thank you so much I was almost in tears because I was so frustrated with my printer.
Hi, so you didn’t have the hose you only used a syringe? What was the screw driver for.. I’m about to lose my mind.. I want to fix my printer so bad
That’s a terrible idea and won’t work
The fluid will go everywhere and if you have resistance it will squirt everywhere.
@@Theinkrefillexperts Considering his sentence is in past tense, he already did this, and it already worked.
I don’t believe 😊
The fact he says he used a screwdriver to extend the hole is impossible.
The line are designed to be that exact size.
This actually worked!!! 😅 & I am a beginner... great video, thank you so much
Thanks very much 😀
An excellent product, I used the ammonia-free solution and it completely cleared a blocked print head first time. Highly recommended.
Thanks very much.
How long did you let it dry out before you inserted the cartridges?
You don’t dry anything. You just clean it with the fluid and reinsert the cartridges.
Great stuff - worked for me.
Thanks 😊
Just searrched and found your video. I'm going to buy your kit, hopefull it will save my WF7610

What printer did you use it on ?
Had no black on my Epson WF-2750 ordered a Printer Refresh Kit very fast delivery easy to follow instruction video fixed my printer blacks are like new again very happy customer thank you very much saved me from buying a new printer.
That’s great to hear , thank you for the great review.
@@Theinkrefillexperts I'm a uni student (same printer wf-2750) and my Epson black original cartridge suddenly blocked. I thought it was empty (had around 25% left) so I ordered some after-market inks and they all worked but the black. There is nothing coming out of the black ink I've run the printers self-cleaning program a few times are various stages, tried printing a few pages of text to force the block out but nothing.
The printer is under warranty from student finance for 3 years and once I mentioned 'aftermarket inks' they refused to provide any response. The inks work fine (blue, yellow, magenta) are cheaper and provide the same print quality without paying a premium and always recycled for eco-friendliness.
I feel quite positively that it's just the black print head that is blocked but I'm worried about using the liquid near the printer near sensitive parts
@@monoread5368 If you read above I had the same problem just follow the instructions in the video mine cleared first time and is still working great
Would you please leave me a good review on google ?

For anyone struggling to get a paper towel underneath the print heads/carriage, stick some tape to the end you're going to be sliding your print head over and stick it down next to the print head and you should be able to pass the print head over
Fantastic idea 😀
GOD bless you for this wonderfully informative to the point and easy instructions. You are helping me and many others, as i can see from how many views your channel has had, you can only be proud for the many people you are helping,including myself,WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)
You are very very welcome 😀
Thank you for the instructional video.
You are very welcome. Can help with anything else ?
Fantastic bit of kit printer is working 1st class thankyou
You are very very welcome. 😀
Thanks, super helpful video!!
You are very welcome.
Excellent video. Informative and clear steps for improved printing. I had always thought EPSON was another name for "SPAWN OF SATAN" but you've given me hope. Many thanks!
Thanks very much 😀
This helped so much! Thank you!
You are very welcome , I am really pleased that the video helped you.
This worked. You are a gem.
You are very welcome
This worked for me as the black wouldn't print. The other colours were fine. The black was magically 'cured' but then suddenly the magenta wouldn't print! It HAD been fine! And putting the tube onto it gave resistance and the fluid would NOT go in. You mention resistance and say STOP if this happens. But then what?
Thank you so so much. I DID IT!!! I didn't have to ask the teenagers!!! I did it myself and I am useless xxxx
That’s great !! What problem did you have ?
Thank you! I followed you direction how to clean nozzles on my epson printer today. I was very careful, didn't want to mass up anything; even though I spilled a little bit of liquid when I pulled up the cleaning tube from the first nozzle head, but I dried it up as much as I could. I ran clean heads 4 times, and wallah my printer sang:) I first tried on printing out my husband's driving trip direction to Yuma Arizona next week, and it printed out perfectly. I was so happy and on cloud nine, took the print out to my husband and said "honey I did it" and gave him his trip printout! Thanks to you and your video. Much love and light from a happy Retired Marine's wife in Vegas,lol!
You are so welcome ! I hope your husbands trip is a success 😀
@@Theinkrefillexperts I'll tell him, thank you again.
You are very welcome 😀
Worked great for me!! Thanks guys; great job :)
That’s great 😃
Thank you .... printer fixed!
You are very welcome x
Thanks guys, worked beautifully. Went from blank sheet of paper to 10/10 nozzle check.
Wish I wore gloves though! lol
Fantastic 😀
I don’t understand? 😂
Helpful Video! Thank You!!!

You are so welcome, many thanks.
from where we should buy this printer refresher lequid?
It’s available on 118ink.com
2:56.... GOTTEM!!!
Thank you. Most hepful.
Which problem did you have ?
Used the' paper placed under the heads' and it easily rubbed them/it clean. No more lines in my prints...thank you.
That’s great !!
I ordered cleaner from Epson that is specifically for my WF-7510. I don't know if this is any better than Printer Refresh. The instructions that came with the cleaner called for disassembling the printer head which is very difficult particularly since the directions did not match what I found in my printer. So I followed these You-Tube instructions which require no disassembly other than removing the cartridges. And they worked. Tip: Be sure to use different blotting strips for each nozzle cleaned. 4 nozzles four strips. Be careful removing the strips as they get messy. Excellent video.
Thank you very much 😀
Brilliant! Worked first time. I was given a printer worth £180 for FREE as it no longer printed colour. I used Printer Refresh and now it's perfect. FREE printer - WINNER - Thanks.
That’s such a kind review ! Thank you
@@Theinkrefillexperts credit where credit is due ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Again, thank you 😊
Does all the cleaning fluid go on the blotter paper or does some go thru to bottom of printer?
@@jilliej7 all goes one the blotting paper.
Great Video ! well done.
just wonder what size is the silicone tube, I wanna make sure it will fit properly without being loose or anything ? Thanks
The tube is very stretchy and will fit all Epson printers that work in the video.
Did it on all 4 inks.Cleaned the head three times. still nothing. left it over night. Came back cleaned the heads again had a couple lines missing on the black. did the process again just for black, cleaned the heads three times and its working now!! Thanks you.
That’s great 😀
Fantastic product
nikki fuller many thanks.
yes yes yes, just got the kit, did the clean and now i can print again! thank you very much, pleasantly surprised :)
You are very welcome 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
One of my colours had completely vanished so I wasn't convinced this would work but it has. Strange thing is that after treating it and leaving it over night to do its thing there was not much improvement but when I tried the printer again in the evening it was working perfectly.
Thanks ! So glad you found it useful.
Sometimes if a printer is totally blocked in one colour it can take a little extra cleaning.
Did you try the whole process again or you tried printing again?
Try both. 😃
@@ninagrandy4715 I tried printing again without re-treating.
It helped :) I had to do 4 head cleans. Thank you :)
That’s great , your cartridges must have been dry
I have a epson SX415 which when printing or photocopying would just spit out completely blank pages. I ordered your kit and after following the instructions....... my printer is now fully working again ,Great product and easy to use .
Thanks for the review , the kit is proving to be a great success.

I wonder if this will finally get my CISS kit working with my Epson XP-440?
I am pretty sure it would work.
This sounds promising. Does this kit work with epson wf-3640?
How long does it take to ship to the US?
Currently when I print I am not getting any ink on paper. I had left my printer unused for about an year. It used to work well before that.
Hello, it takes about one week. If that printed works like the one in the video then it will work.
Very Well Done.
Did it help you ?
wonderful. thank you
You are very welcome.
In this video, you seem to just have cleaned the cyan print head. Should we remove the blotting paper and do the whole flushing process with new warm solution for the other 3 print heads as well?
That’s optional but I would advise just a quick rinse through on all because as the video says all print heads may need a clean.
With my old Canon, I could remove the whole print head and soak it in a part ammonia solution. It seems the Epson head not removable.
Much easier to use the printer refresh kit.
Thanks for the message
Thanks for the vid you're a life saver!
PC Repairs 101 thanks ...happy to help. I had a look at your videos as well. Very clear.
Received the kit today, was a bit dubious as blue ink has not worked on my Epson SX515W printer for 2 months no matter what I tried. One flush with this stuff and 2x head cleans and the printout looks as good as it ever did. I'm impressed.😀
That’s great 😀
what are you using to flush the printheads?
I didn’t see any place to order or any brand names or anything. Can I use alcohol or tone or turpentine a proper reply will be appreciated. Thank you.
@JamesMiller-vi7ib it’s called printer refresh.
how often do you recommend a cleaning? My printer is not printing though on the computer it says it is...I haven't had it but for a few months
I would start with once and see if that works. If not try twice and do on.
Can I use this with my Epson WorkForce 7710DWF. I'm using a removable CIS System with it. I cannot get the black ink to work anymore!
Hello yes this will work 😀
www.118ink.com/shop/epson-printer-head-cleaning-kits/epson-printer-head-cleaning-kit/
Awesome! Made my 4 year old printer brand new!
Glad it helped 😀
Thank you so much!
You are very welcome.
Worked great for me but you do need to run the head cleaning program, it took three run through's for my printer.
+utkf16 that’s great. If the printer is very blocked it can take a couple of goes. Which printer do you have ? James
Epson XP422. Its been blocked for months and I was just going to replace but thought Id give the cleaning a chance, glad I did now!
+utkf16 thanks for the feedback. Just out of interest did you have more than one colour blocked ? And if so which was hardest to clear ?
James.
Originally just the yellow but I flushed all the jets and they all cleared without any problems, much easier than I expected. After the nozzle tests the black was not printing properly so ran the cleaning program x 2 still no improvement so changed the cartridge did another clean and all working.
+utkf16 that’s great. The kit Work really well. The yellow is something other kits struggle with but our kit works great on all colours. Thanks for the info.
James
Hi!! We have to clean every color?
That’s 100% up to you 😀
Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome, did it help?
thanks.my problem solved
Hello Roland , Which printer do you have ?
Thanks
Sir,how about the printer will not print in black color though abundant ink on its container
Please follow the video instruction. It seems your printer is blocked. This is very normal for an Epson printer.
Printer Refresh Ltd my printer is epson L120. Is it the same cleaning procedure and set up with ur video sir
If your your printer has a similar system to the one in the video then yes. Most Epson printers are like this.
After much searching on the internet, I finally found that all the color cartridges have to be full, even if you're only printing in black. When you do print, make sure to select "greyscale" to only print in black, and save the other colors.
They don’t have to be full but they can’t be empty. Do you mean yours are empty ?
Strips of paper aren't nearly enough to absorb all the fluid and ink. A 1/2 piece of paper towel folded to the same size works best.
Hello the paper is enough for must blockages. But as the video says kitchen paper works very well.
Thanks
He said "blotting paper," which is not regular paper. It's absorbent paper, which will absorb moisture like paper towels.
You can use any paper but kitchen paper works best 😀
That must be a British thing; I've never heard of "kitchen paper."
Kitchen Roll ? Kitchen Towels ?
Excellent video thanks boss
You are very welcome.
Thank you very much my man Greg
You are very welcome, I hope it helped.
Help please, I’m so confused, I just followed the directions after having issues with no cyan printing out, all other ink colors printed fine. Then after a few head cleanings, still no cyan and now barely any ink at all is printing out. I have tried pulling air up with syringe, letting it soak, more head cleans.. Is it possible I used too much cleaning solution? This is a Epson 7210 with CIS, had it a month and this is the first time I’ve ever had an issue with it. I’ve been working on printers for a decade and still don’t know what I’m doing wrong Thanks guys 🙏
Hi mate, you could let it with fluid in the lines overnight but your issue could be something other than an ink blockage.
Did you ever manage to figure out what it was? I’m having the same issue with my magenta :/
The ink line could be worn/collapsed
I would try running a few head cleans but please remember your printer could be faulty and not blocked.
any substitutes for cleaning solution ? shipping takes too long right now
Couldn't be "clearer"! :-) Thanks.
You are very welcome 😀
Thank you!
You are very welcome.
