It's simple to fix your clogged HP Printhead. Simply remove it and soak it on a wet paper towel for 5 to 10 minutes. It's also worth noting that your printer's printhead will last longer if you leave your HP printer on. This is not the case with every brand printer. Epson for example recommends turning your printer off when it's not in use. - Навчання та стиль

Thank you, worked perfectly. So much gunk on the printhead, only soaking it would remove it. Saved me $70.00 on a new printhead.
Great video. Thanks for the tip! I just made the mistake of using 3rd party ink... never again!
Amazing how a few minutes soaking on a paper towel saved me $300. Thank you so much!
Thanks, I wish I saw this before I purchased new print heads!
Every several months, I come back to this same video. I've also showed it to many others. You're a constant lifesaver. Thank you!
Thank you..you have saving me $90 for printhead and $150 for service. Great job bro
hell, this worked for me as well! you sir, just saved my butt.
I have some interesting questions, if you know - please share; 1) if the printer swears at the head, is it worth cleaning it. 2) can the printer swear if the head is clogged or there is little ink inside? 3) from several head pulls - are the loops on the side (contacts) damaged?
This worked for me. Thank you so much!! I would like to comment how much I hate HP Instant Ink though :( lol
worked thank you bro
Question: is the cleaned printhead placed in damp or will this cause a short on the printhead? Should the exsposed printhead chip paths be dry?
Very helpful, thank you. Just unblocked my HP black head.
Did your printheads show exclamation marks on them?
What if add light 5 percent isopropyl alcohol to water? Will it damage print head?
Must try this! Have you ever had the problem where basically the yellow is printing out the black? and the thing is the cartridges have never been put in the wrong way... thanks!
I believe the black is pigment based which means it's a suspension of some very very small solids. If you were to filter the black particles you get a yellow colored fluid. I too have seen the yellow in the black printhead when cleaning it I think it's likely a product of a clogged printhead, but I'm not 100% certain. Regardless, don't go down a path of trying to find out how the yellow got into the black. It didn't. The yellow CAME FROM the black ink.
Got it sorted eventually, however I have a new problem now which is I have no magenta coming out at all, and this was with both the original print head and the new one... I have gotten a syringe and pulled through ink through the line but to no avail... an ideas to help would be great, thanks!
Thanks for great informaiton
I bought a HP Z5200ps 44" with HP 70 printheads a month ago, I have a problem with 3mm stripes appearing in images with certain tone of orange and certain tone of green on only 3% of images that I print have this issues. On test print out of the printheads all looks perfect. The printhead is dated 2016 on the M/Y and have only fired 360ml of ink, I assume it is the Magenta and Yellow causing the issue. I have just ordered and now waiting for delivery of the M/Y printhead and then I watched your channel. I will try the cleaning method before I replace or not with the new printhead. Thank you.
Bom dia aonde posso comprar a tinta para encher o cartucho e como encher
Ink with costly Printheads built in is poor design ....extremely high ink operating cost due to printhead ...the printheaddless cartridge design is way better
i solved this issue buy replacing with non-hp cartridges (way past warranty) and its good to go
Good Morning !
please to my machine 1055cm plus, this is giving the 0B0005 00000FF error.
I do not know what else to do.
Can you help me please.
Thank you
I did this with my coloured printheads and afterwards it said "Replace the Printheads" and refused to do anything. At least it printed black before :-(
PS : I went back and cleaned with a pad damped with surgical spirit. It then worked.
Thank you Mr. HBT. Just a few minutes, a couple of wet paper towels! Last time this happened the HP authorized shop charged over $ 600. They no longer are in business... Again, thank you!
Yellow was printing apricot on the diagnostic. I would clean the printheads 10 times until the yellow appeared again, but on the next print job the yellow would be missing again, and the trees were a beautiful blue. This worked for me and restored my yellow; however I lost the light gray. Cleaned the gray twice and it wouldn't return so I ordered a new printhead. The next day I wondered if maybe water from cleaning the yellow was causing the gray to go missing. I cleaned the printheads, and printed a diagnostic. The gray was back and all was well. Thank you, thank you.
UPDATE - YELLOW AND GRAY kept randomly disappearing so I replaced all printheads and finally got the result I wanted.
what kind of paper are you using?
so where is th elink to printheads dont see it
I got new on but my black ink not print
It would be nice if HP fucking told people they have to be left on to cycle the ink.
new hp 81 printhead yellow printed 3 ao prints and then stopped showing code 5303 Printhead Smartchip error , i turned of printer cleaned restarted several times ..still same any suggestions please
I have never used a printer. I didn't need it. Now I try to repair some new model printers. I was shocked to see that the producers manufacture different cartridges only to profit more and they never care about environment and pollution. In theory all machines work in the same way and parts could be replaceable, but no!! Each model must be different and cartridges are too expensive to renew. Fucking money thirsty people.
Thanks, that worked for me.
Don't you risk getting water in the inks? Can I do this to my HP Latex 260 ?
lol
Thanks for the video!
thanks just saved 50 euro and a lot of time
Ill try this HBK
Finally, a quick and easy solution that works!! Thanks for the upload
how to clean my printer head
Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I soaked with a mix of 75% lukewarm water, 25% ispoprop for about quarter of an hour - initially print on the affected channel returned to as-new (about A3 worth of the affected colour), but just started to show starvation as I cancelled the print -- on the second test print it started to run dry again almost immediately with severe starvation issues.
Several reseats of the affected printhead made no difference. Interestingly ink _is_ getting through to the head, but obviously not quickly enough to satisfy printing requirements. I can start with uniform coverage but then it fades to nothing after several head passes.
I've not soaked the head for longer - didn't have the opportunity. I haven't checked the cartridge, though ink level is almost 100%. Can't eyeball the lines to see if there's a clog... As HP shroud them with black plastic. All other colour channels are fine, which is even more annoying. HP genuine inks and parts always used.
Should I be trying a heavier IPA base - or 100% water - for longer, or is there something else I can try before buying a new printhead?
I have serviced these & inkjets for years -- always use water. The ink is not alcohol soluble and when alcohol mixture is used it will only dissolve in the water that is mixed into the mixture -- if you had 100% alcohol it would not dissolve
@@geeder9086 that's useful info. I was hoping the IPA might help break down any stubborn clog before itself dissolving, but evidently using warm water would have been more effective. I ended up restoring an Epson a month afterwards with some head flush solution which worked pretty well, and the DesignJet was treated to a new printhead meanwhile. It had lasted eight years with no meaningful maintenance so I will duly note for next time!
When I'm back in the office in January I'll be sure to do some periodic maintenance because it's sat idle for months... Like it had last year in fact 😂 do you have any recommendations for keeping these heads in good condition?
made me sick at 2:57
This worked great, best cheap fix
