Printer Cleaning Kit for Epson Workforce (WF), Ecotank (ET), Stylus, Artisan, Expression Premium (XP) Series - 5 oz

Worked well unclogging my print heads.

Even if it had not worked I would have thought it was worth giving it a shot. Good, explicit directions. A website that provides a video and test pages for your printer. If you are experiencing print quality issues I would highly recommend this product. I have never worked on a printer before, but I have worked on electrical equipment. My advice is: Read the directions and get familiar with them. Do not be in a hurry. Make sure you have a good, well lighted space to work in. If you get in a tight spot don't panic - get help. I hope this product works as well for you as it did for me.

The Epson consumer printers with the stalk over which the ink cartridge fit were easier to clear of clogs by putting the tubing over the stalk. I do advise watching and learning from YouTube videos. It takes some finesse and not every failure to print is due to a clog.Epson's newer printers have cartridges with a sponge/mesh outlet that fits over the print head ink port. This is spring inside that cartridge to keep it tight against the print head inlet.This product is an attempt to have a device fit over that ink input rectangle. Even so, it is hard to make a good fit and I found the device to be of limited use. I have 20 years experience with Epson inkjet printers of all varieties. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use 3rd party cartridges filled with cleaning fluid on these newest printers unless you make make it chipless. That's really the best way to go in my experience.Your experience may vary. For the amount of cleaning solution provided, I though this product overpriced.

My Epson XP-800 printer stopped printing red. I tried numerous head cleanings, to the point of having to replace all my ink cartridges and still no red would print. After a couple of contacts with Epson (where they seemed to require my entire life's history from birth) they said that since my printer was out of warrantee I would have to send it to a service center.After some online research I ran across the very helpful YouTube video that showed how to clean the nozzles with this product. I ordered it immediately and re-ran the video once it arrived. I followed the instructions and with only one cleaning my printer is working just like new! I can't tell you how rewarding it was to fix this myself for very little money.

I had print black not printing nozzle check grid lines correctly. I didn't warm the solution but it worked fine after a few flushes. After the second try I let it sit for 3 hours and that did the trick. I only used the nozzle check about 6 to 8 times to flush excess cleaning fluid out. I would not use the head clean cycle because it uses too much ink.

I have an Epson XP15000 and ET15000 and both was in need of a good cleaning and in the past I would pull the head and clean it, that would put my printer out of service for days so I got this to try and it worked and was easy to do on my XP, now I will do the ET.

The product is well made and according to video simple to use, I totally agree. However, the results were horrific. The printer had closed jets on each color, but it was usable. I followed the video exactly using the exact amount of cleaner and after running the Epson print head and check it was worse. I “cleaned” it several more times extending the cycle time each. Several colors got better some worse. I left it over night (Do not do this!) and it the results were worse. At this point I had run thru a new set of xl cartridges $100. Thru printer in the trash (10 months old!)

I had replaced ink, used the head cleaning utility, and printed a dozen nozzle test patterns on my printer all to no avail. Took a chance with this kit since I didn't want to buy a new printer and waste all the ink I had already bought. To my surprise it resolved the issue within only about 15 minutes! My only complaint is that the kit seems a little expensive for what it is. I can't imagine a piece of plastic, a syringe, a tube, some pieces of paper, and a tiny bottle of solution costs much however there are limited alternatives in the marketplace at this time so I'll take what I can get.
