How To Clean Epson Wf 7610 Printhead

Using a syringe:

A clogged print head can exist cleaned with ease equally long equally you are careful. At that place are 2 mutual methods to clean the print heads.

The starting time is using a syringe and cleaning solution

Plough the printer on and lift the top embrace to it'southward open position.

Initiate a cleaning cycle or; button the paper feed or cartridge change push and hold for three seconds. When the print caput (wagon) starts to move from it's parked or home position on the correct side. Immediately disconnect information technology from electric outlet.

Locate the "sponge pads" to apply the cleaning solution: Gently push the carriage/print caput to the left out of the way to gain access. The cap assembly is located but below where the carriage parks on the right. The sponge pads are on the left side of or under it depending on your printer model. Use a cotton swab or folded paper towel to soak up excess ink on the pads. Annotation the newer model Epson printers do not accept the sponge pad. So if you don't see the sponge pad but skip that step.

Now you can place a folded paper towel or coffee filter nether the print head. In some cases y'all may demand to cutting the filter/paper towel into strips to have them slip under the impress head.

The filters/paper towel serve ii functions the showtime is information technology will aid prevent the liquid from leaking into the printer and the second it will aid to wick the ink out of the impress head.

Adjacent draw some cleaning solution/distilled water into the syringe and identify the syringe over the ink inlet post (see photos one and two below) And and then very s fifty o w l y outset to inject the cleaning fluid/distilled water into the ink inlet mail. If you use too much force per unit area you will damage the impress head.

Normally a few cc's in each post will practise the job. Just some may need more and some will need to be cleaned several times to completely unclog the print caput. Once yous have injected the solution into the ink inlet posts y'all should let the print head soak for at least iii hours or over nighttime if you want. Basically the longer it soaks the improve but, you will want to keep checking the newspaper towel/coffee filters to run into if they have dried out. Now slide the print head slightly side to side a few times to remove whatever foreign matter from the face up of the print head. For more info endeavor here.

Once you are finished print a test folio.

Using a erstwhile ink cartridge:

The second manner is to inject the cleaning fluid into a used/empty ink cartridge (making it into a cleaning cartridge) and then just run a few head cleanings and then print a few pages of large pictures.Once you are finished cleaning merely remove the "cleaning cartridge" you made and identify it into a nil lock bag until the next time yous need it. This method does work but is much less effective.

Things not to do.

Do not use Window cleaners, Alcohol, Bleach, Peroxide, Lighter fluid, degreasers, engine cleaners, mineral spirits or laquer thinner.

Also do not use force or compressed air every bit these these tin can cause serious damage to the impress head.

For the syringe anything from 1ML to 10ML will work. I usually use a 2.5 or five CC syringe just I have used a 10CC syringe on the really stubborn print heads. The Epson print head cleaning kit comes with a 1ML syringe. CC is the same as ML so a 5CC syringe is the same as a 5ML syringe. You lot tin can usually get a syringe from pet shops or feed and grain stores. Or in nigh ink cartridge refill kits. cc = cubic centimeters ml = milliliters.
