    Bro, awesome video. I was about to replace my head with a new one. I saw this video and thought of trying it as it was very well explained. I followed the video and now my printer is printing like brand new. Thanks a ton man. Also I would like to say that your explanation is really awesome. Just saw the video once and could follow along. You saved some bucks of mine. Thank you so much.

    Hello! I am a newbie at this problem. Great video by the way. So my question is do you start the printhead cleaning right after the whole process of unclogging, cleaning, drying, and putting everything back into place? Or do you wait 12+ hrs.?

    • @WHOLEPRINTING
      @WHOLEPRINTING  2 місяці тому

      The longer you wait the better you don’t want any cleaning liquid going inside your cables!

  • @thesmoothgoat
    @thesmoothgoat 5 місяців тому +8

    Cool video man, but as an actual printer tech, I can say this is a good method but various steps should be done before you attempt to push flush through printhead. This might actually make things worse by pushing actual ink into print nozzles. First steps you should take is to soak printhead in solution for a few hours n then reverse flush ink by using syringe then n only then should you try push flushing for clean curtains spray.

    • @JustMe-xd2vc
      @JustMe-xd2vc 4 місяці тому

      Reverse flush. Forward flush will push against the seals and ruin print head

    • @thesmoothgoat
      @thesmoothgoat 4 місяці тому

      @@JustMe-xd2vc yes it will if printhead is really clogged and you try pushing as first step, that's why i clearly stated to soak head for about an hour then "reverse flush first" n then u will be able to push flush to see if curtains spray, but if there's any resistance then stop and repeat steps one and two.. Its simple. Of course if printhead is super clogged and u simply try pushing with a lot of pressure you will bust the seals.. I just unclogged two printheads yesterday using same exact method.. One for epson 1430 and Epson 3880 now working flawless..

    So I tried doing this on my print head and when I try to push the solution through the nipple it just comes out of the nipple beside it on every color. Does that mean it’s clogged?

    Thanks so much for the awesome videos. I have a relatively new UV printer and all the colors are printing fine except white. I was able to achieve the spray like this video but white is still not printing. I’m about to buy a new print head but could it be something else. I’m stumped. Thanks so much

    • @WHOLEPRINTING
      @WHOLEPRINTING  3 місяці тому

      I’m not sure that you can make your own cleaner however I’ve hear that you can. You can soak both the top nozzle and the bottom

    after doing a power ink flushing my printer got messed up. now when I do a head clean on my computer, all the colors come out correctly, but when I print, only the blue and red ink only comes out. can I still save my print head? or is it due for replacement already?
