[@piranha21312]

Saved my 11-month-old Epson ET-2720 from going to the trash dump. The black ink was completely blocked, and 3 power cleanings and 19 cleanings did not fix it but flushing the black print head with the kit did the trick. Very grateful, especially in terms of saving the printer from going to landfill. Thank you!

[@BestPrinters]

[@TibbaSaru]

[@fishsticks2953]

the instructions on how to get access to the inside of the printer saved my bacon, some idiot around here (me) apparently dropped a micro usb cable in the paper feed, which I only discovered when I opened it up. The cable has been extracted and the printer is, by some miracle, working great again.

[@user-fr5os5iv7u]

First I cleaned as instructed but after After the Power Cleaning- It works just like Brandon said! Brandon, You are terrific! I'm an old timer and happy I don't have to get a new on or pay hundreds to repair! One thing I didn't realize is that I have to make sure I print often to keep in in good shape!

[@BestPrinters]

That is awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@wilkuist]

Actually, you only need to unscrew the two outer screws. The other 2 screws are for the display panel. Thanks for the pen idea. I used this video for getting paper out that was jammed that I couldn't access using any of the Epson instructions. Thanks so much!

[@BestPrinters]

I am glad it worked out for you!

[@austinbambooinc2507]

This does help. The two middle screws are actually for the control panel, so it's not necessary to remove them, just the outer two.The two connector cables from the scanner came out when I opened mine. I managed to remove the side panel and get them back in. Back to printing!

[@Docinabox83]

This video saved my printer (ET-7270)! It was fairly easy but does take persistance. The video doesn't metion it, the instructions do, but you should warm up the solution before using it. Run the print head cleaning program under maintenance several times for it to clear out the solution and print again. I repeated the whole thing twice on 2 colors (yellow and cyan). No new ink refills were needed, and it is printing beautifully again :) I bought the kit off Amazon. It was $25, which was about double the price of the other top searches for similar products, but I went with it because it was the one in the video. Other kits may be just as effective but I didn't want to risk wasting more time on a different product. Thanks again for the very informative free printer support.

This worked for me. Shipped printer overseas and did not set up for a couple of months. No colors were printing. Video was very helpful -- and commenters too! Package insert is pretty useless. After flushing, I tried printing multiple hex code color blocks in BYMC but that was not enough to start ink again. One Power Cleaning brought the fresh ink through.

Thank you so much for this video and the product. I did the procedure and it worked very well. This is another reminder to keep the pressure on these companies to give us the ability to maintain this equipment. I bought the EPSON to preserve the environment as best I can. I did have the unfortunate problem of having the little cable come off and give me the dreaded 100016 error code. I found another site that gave me the solution to that problem and I am up and running on all thrusters. Much appreciated. I have subscribed. Good on you, sir.

[@sissy1739]

I am getting that error also. Could you please let me know the site that you found that fixed the problem? I have looked on several sites and cannot find a solution that works.

[@MR-wo6fq]

Many comments. 1. Excellent instructions in the video - very easy to follow. 2. I had to reinstall the scanner cables as those easily cam out of their slots when I opened the top (getting those cables back in was a hassle). 3. I bought the solution (and new ink) and did the flush of the problem spot (magenta) and it cleaned up pretty well as the video described. 4. Got everything set back up and did nozzle check and printer head realignment fine but no improvement. 5. Have since printed numerous pages to get the magenta going again and still nothing but yellow where there should be reds. 6. I have never had to replace ink in this printer as I don't use the printer that often - mainly because the issue with the magenta and the lack of generating the correct color. This printer is a PITA to say the least - I truly hate it. I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give as to other things to try to get the magenta back on track.

[@BestPrinters]

After using the kit you should run a power cleaning. That will get the Magenta pushed back into the system.

[@wyrmbuster]

This helped a lot. My printer was new so I didn’t need a flush and cleaning but upon opening I found that the motor was missing a screw and hand a screw loose. I was able to fish out the missing one and tightened them back up and it’s working all good again! Thank you I was frustrated trying to find a way to open this.

[@NoWayJoseNJ]

I was already in the process of unscrewing the two under the display panel and then I watched your video and it gave me more insight on how to disconnect the lines etc. One thing to look out for is when opening the top be careful with white strips that connect to the scanner. I did that I’m that guy but I connected them back successfully,I’m use to iPhones and such. Thank you for the insight again. I have not bought the ink solution but I had a blast messing with the lines and putting it back together. Now I know.

[@nunyabizzness7351]

Was able to clean my print heads with the solution per the video. Thanks for making this video. While cleaning my print heads I accidentally lifted the cover too high and my scanner ribbon cables dislodged. It took me awhile to reconnect them because I could not remove the side panel to see more clearly. I hope that you will do a video on how to remove the side panel on printer in case you accidentally disconnect scanner cables on an ET-2720.

[@veronicalee9489]

Worked like a dream! The Power Cleaning at the end makes it work so don't forget to do it

[@BestPrinters]

[@CarolHierlmaier]

Got it cleaned on two colors. Also had to get rid of all ink in those two. It did get really scary, because when we tried plugging it back in it did not turn on. I thought I ruined it. Was all ready to go get another one. This morning I tired plugging it in and it worked. Now I can do the power cleaning.

[@BestPrinters]

Great!

[@AdrianaHernandez-ln5eg]

Thank you so much!! I was nervous about taking this on myself but it worked perfectly. I wish I could attach before and after pictures, but my most recent nozzle check was perfect. I have a family full of Epson Eco owners so I know I'll be using your product in the future. I'm not sure if it's because it's a different series, but for my Epson ET-4700 I did not have to unscrew the two inner screws in order to get the printer open. Also, I never EVER leave reviews on KZbin so this is saying a lot! :)

Many thanks for your video Brandon, it has saved my Feb 2020 ET-2720 from going to the dump. It was the cyan this time and 10ml of cleaner and one power clean later, all done. Nothing like as complicated and messy a process as I feared! Can I donate?

[@BestPrinters]

Perfect! Glad to hear this!

[@BiotchProductions]

Your video helped us figure out how to open up the top. Couldn't find those four screws. Had some debris that got into the back and were able to get it out. However, we didn't realize that a couple plastic cables came out on the left when opening it up all the way and got an error code. We figured out how to put it back in luckily and everything is great.

[@BestPrinters]

Ok good!

[@a3dpntr]

I lifted the lid a bit too high and it disconnected the scanner ribbon data cables! Real pain to put back if you don’t have tools. My Tech experience helped but I certainly wasn’t trying to make more work for myself. Good cleaning kit you’ve come up with.

[@BestPrinters]

Sorry that happened, thank you the kit was revamped recently so you should have much more in this kit vs the one in the past.

[@Pablo-kq6fx]

Thanks for the video. On my printer (ET2721) only the two outer screws need to be taken out to open the printer. I actually ran into this video looking for a way to open the printer, but it was useful to learn how to clean the print head, will bear in mind!

[@BestPrinters]

[@koenigna]

Thanks for this. I did accidentally pull two of those flat cables out when moving the lid back after removing the front screws. It will pop out of the guides if not careful. I needed to remove the left side panel as an extra step and find where the two cables plugged back in. It was easy enough to do once I figured out how, but I did think I bricked my printer when it happened. My cyan was not coming through after the initial cleaning, multiple blue color heavy picture printings or nozzle checks but after 1x power cleaning all of my colors were printing perfect.

[@BestPrinters]

Great job, I am glad you were able to get back all your colors.

[@barbaranewman2977]

The yellow stopped printing on my ET2720 even after several print head cleanings. I was going to try your kit but before I did that, I found out if you push the power and the ? HELP button at the same time you can run a 7 minute power cleaning and that fixed the problem! So try that first.

I have always had problems with the print heads clogging up on all my EPSON printers. I switched to HP printers and found that the print heads never clog up. My last HP printer worked perfectly for 8 years. Eventually, in the 9th year, the print heads wore out. It was uneconomical to buy a new set of print heads after 9 years, so I bought a brand new HP printer. I've been using it for more than 3 years and again, the print heads never clog up. The big drawback is the ink cartridge cost -- they are about $50.00 each. OUCH!

[@nathanbyrum7288]

I think Epson, since they took the hit on not being able to make money off of ink cartridges are wanting to make it just a bit extra hard to maintain a printer. These things go for $200 to $300 a pop and if they can make $ off servicing them or selling a new one simply b/c the waste ink cartridge is full or a print head is clogged, that stands to defray some of the money they used to make off of expensive cartridges. I am glad to see things are changing in the printer industry though; for many years the printer itself was mostly a money machine for the manufacturers to sell the cartridges. The only reason I own one of these though is because I do sublimation; I have a monochrome laser (toner based) printer that I use for all my day-to-day printing. I bought it and enough toner to print 3500 pages for about $130. On the rare occasions I need to print in color I just go to the public library or FedEx-- although the price of full color laser/toner-based printers are getting down to where they make sense for the casual home user. Thanks for this video; I fixed my ET-2720 and had it back up and running in less than 2 hours, and that was with allowing it to stay open for 45 mins. to make sure everything was perfectly dry. Thanks SOOOOO much!

Ok, So I printed and no color comes out. Each time I did a nozzle check less than less color came out until they’re is no color printing. I actually removed the color cartridges that I used to push in solution and they are empty inside which means that the clog is not on its way to the paper. The clog is from where the ink is stored to the cartridges. Meaning the long hose that goes from tanks to cartridges. So how do I unclog that? I regularly use black ink which is why thar is not an issue.

[@BestPrinters]

Try running a power cleaning.

[@williamgroves9512]

This works good but you only need to remove 2 screws. Just the outside ones. Not the middle

[@BestPrinters]

Nice!

[@madsib5187]

I am not quite sure I got that right: I do have to replace the affected color tank NO MATTER WHAT after this procedure? Even if it is still full? My yellow won't print anymore and the normal nozzle cleaning doesn't do the trick

[@BestPrinters]

As long as you are half way full you should be ok. Totally full to be extra safe.

[@madsib5187]

@@BestPrinters thank you!

Hi, in my printer Y, M and C don't print. After the clean with product do I Need to change the color even if my tanks are full? Thanks💪

[@BestPrinters]

Hi, if your tanks are full no need to change the ink. Just make sure they are topped off. Also make sure to run a power cleaning after using the kit.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching!

[@Floridawifeys]

Do you know how to get access to the waste pad tubes to bypass and put a tank on ?

[@secretagentgirl1]

I don't see where you empty the ink tank and replace it as you stated in the beginning of the video. Did I miss something?

[@BestPrinters]

No you dont need to empty the ink tank, you need to empty the printhead.

[@christinasweeney2675]

thank you that was super helpful

[@BestPrinters]

I'm so glad to hear that! Consider subscribing to my channel

[@johnkaiser2047]

Great video will order kit. Only Black and Yellow print. Would you suggest printing color every so often to keep heads flowing? Or is the problem the ink gets old.

[@BestPrinters]

Yes if you print color often you will avoid this problem.

Do you have any videos showing how the wireless works on your laptop? I realize many different products have different setups. I have the exact model .. Thank you, God Bless

[@susansmith6048]

I followed these instructions and, unfortunately, have disconnected one of the small ribbon connectors at the left side of the scanner assembly. I don’t see where to reconnect or re-insert this cable. I obviously have a scanner error on the display when I power it back on. Any directions for me? Otherwise, this is the 2nd Epson EcoTank that will be thrown in my garbage.

[@BestPrinters]

Find a picture online of the connections and replicate what you see.

[@aliciarodriguez1708]

Thanks a lot this help me big time...

[@BestPrinters]

No problem.

[@karinamidon6447]

After using the cleaning kit and replacing screws etc. what's next to get the cleaning solution thoroughly through the tubes and start printing the ink.

[@mariaviewsforyou7942]

Question, i have this issue with this exact printer. but i used sublimation ink. epson did not want to fix it because i used sublimation ink. Will this cleaning solution help my printer?

[@BestPrinters]

Yes it will.

[@user-ql1pl6dl2o]

How do you remove that left side cover?

[@erkannehir2412]

Easier way... Download the drivers. Right click on printer icon. Settings. And then POWER CLEANING... Youre Welcome...

[@BestPrinters]

Great tip!

[@HyeBrownIz]

I did this and it fixed both colors that weren't printing without having to do the cleaner kit. Thank you!!

[@claypryor992]

Did not work on my printer.

[@julieberry2793]

Add something to this about how long one needs to wait before using the printer

[@BestPrinters]

To be safe after a few hours.

[@misaza26]

I did all the steps and pushed in 20ML solution in Magenta but the Magenta tank is still full and not sure how to empty it to put in new Magenta ink that’s not mixed with solution. I’m confused.

[@BestPrinters]

Run a power cleaning after using the solution. That will flush everything out.

[@juliavo8169]

My Eco Tank printer still printing colors but all words are flurry, double lines. Do you have any solutions? Thanks

[@BestPrinters]

Yes the instructions in this video will help.

[@lajuanwright507]

What if the clog is in the line instead of the print head?

[@BestPrinters]

There are tools on the kit that will allow you to clear the line as well.

[@connieeaton3497]

[@BestPrinters]
