How to unclog & clean your edible image printer tutorial (with blooper)!

[@mattadams1741]

I tried for ages to get the print head back in then found this! Thanks so much for making the video!

[@sugarpanbakery6177]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I thought I was going to have to buy a a new printer as well. You saved me $200 when all I had to was clean it! Thank you!

[@michaelcrane1993]

This worked a treat. Clear instructions at a good pace. Very grateful for the tutorial. Thankyou.

[@taylarogers313]

thank u for this video!!! This was my first time printing since I got my printer last week and no blue was coming out!!! I had no supplies for cleaning but your instruction for taking out the head was really helpful!! I jujet took it out and wiped it with papertowel and it worked!!! I'm going to order that kit ASAP! Thanks again

[@parjau4554]

Thanks for that. I have a MG5750 which is still going strong after all these years - superb machine! And, as you show, even maintenance is easy!

[@MsAmelia1957]

hi i have the same printer as you, i have cleaned my headprint with hot water, plus cleaning solutuon, but my cleaning solution did not come with a tube, can you tell me where you bought yours from please, i would really appreciate it, i have only used it about 5 times still looks brand new, plus just bought a load of ink and refillable cartridges, please help. thanks

[@parjau4554]

@@MsAmelia1957 Did you get my reply? Just looking back at this, it looks like you didn't. I just washed the head in water and did not use a solution - worked fine. If you want them though, there are plenty of printer head cleaning solutions with tubes on Amazon.

[@bashort1]

Great video. Probably the most efficient cleaning I've seen so far. Full flush for the win!

[@rogerbarrett9920]

I love my Canon MG 5350 but the blue stopped working - After deep cleaning and changing cartridges, I was about to give up and then saw this video. It worked a treat. many thanks

[@richardmitchell4614]

Hello, thank you for this straightforward guide on how to clean your print heads. It was my first time and your instructions were stress free. Thanks again.

[@splash_csc8593]

I smashed the LIKE Button! Great video! :) I loved it! I have to say though: I thought at the beginning that "Edible" meant it was food safe! lol Ooops. Can't believe this video is 5 years old now and so very helpful! Thanks. Have a great day.

[@paulmatthews6502]

Kass, you are WONDERFUL ! Saved me from buying a new printer ! Tip: I saw another video where the guy used a stream of hot water into the ink wells (no kit or special solution) so I tried that and ... seems like it works , but takes longer, and you have to force the water alternating between the ink wells and the outflow side. However, your method of using a syringe/tube to force the ink out is more efficient). Anyway, I'm looking for your video on how to refill the cartridges ... (I've subscribed to your channel and I'll find out what other useful demos you do !) Gratefully, Paul :-)

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

awesome! I am so glad it helped. I wish I was better at uploading. I just tend to post videos that I think will help. but I do lots more live tutorials on my Instagram :)

[@floatinglotusyogavs]

Thanks for the tutorial (a life saver). I did everything you did and my PGBK was still not printing. Found out that if you remove the two small screws, you can also clean the white area using the syringe too. Now my printer finally works again!

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

Awesome!!

[@Roadsurfer2k11]

I actually tried removing those screws but don't seem to back out. Will try again later. It looks like the white piece is connected to cable though

[@Kern1909]

and you didnt mess up the alignment?

[@debbievellucci7692]

So thankful I found this video. I did not have to buy another printer.

[@eilujnager]

Thanks for the video. I had seen another video where the guy flushed out like you did but left the printhead in the printer. Yours was much better. A+

[@misterbilou]

Thank you very much for your video. Great help to fix my wife's printer! :)

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

awesome!!!

[@Justenoughsugar]

Thank you for this very helpful... Printer been sitting for month

[@yvetterodriguez9411]

Great video. I'm going to try this now. Girl power. Yay.

[@oclashes6922]

Thank you for sharing! im about to try this after the hose, syringe didnt work. Unfortunately we didnt use the printer for some time and it seemed to have dried and clogged. I will try and repost how it went

[@konstanzemerkel986]

thank you!!!! Cleaning the printer head works just as well with hot water!

[@YSMN444]

lol i watched about 5 different tutorials of how to put it back in and i watched yours and it went in in like 2 seconds haha

[@lasermodeler]

This is an excellent video. I picked up one thing by watching it, but you actually don't mention it. Make sure you put the rubber feet up the correct way. I did it incorrectly and it was part of my problem. The feet have little lips and these go to the BOTTOM as can be seen in the last part of the video. Secondly, the kit isn't available in Australia as far as I know, so I purchased a syringe from the pharmacy ($1), pinched some tubing from another project and used Windex. Great tutorial.

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

Thanks for the info!

[@splash_csc8593]

How did you get the tubing that fit around the syringe to fit around the larger print heads? Windex sounds great but what are your thoughts on 50% rubbing alcohol as a replacement? Your a great thinker! Have a good one. :) :) :)

[@diannalazaro3073]

Thank you so much. You saved me tons of $$$.

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

You are welcome!

[@oxi858]

Thank you! You've helped me a ton!

[@chrislucas142004]

Just saw this video. Great info. I was able to remove the print head. My question is can I use just plain water to clean instead of buying the kit? Thanks.

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

You can surely use water.

[@christinacenteno2810]

i found a tutorial before yours and it worked, and it was exactly this but your tutorial was so much better lol. a do have a question though you think i can leave my printer without putting ink cartridges? I'm moving and will not be using my printer for a while.

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

oh yeah! I do it all the time. I would clean it before you move so the ink doesn't get dunked up in the heat.

[@robertveronda4225]

good video, you helped me fix my wife's printer, what paper setting do you use for rice paper as the Canon app doesn't list it. Thanks

[@leemacabre9940]

Thanks for vid. My MG6660 stopped Magenta. Followed process no fix. Even though cartridge half-full it had stopped emitting ink!

[@kimcole5783]

This was a saver.. searched and searched for instructions on removing print head.. how easy it was after watching this...my problem ... I have clogged that is pretty severe... when soaking one like this do let the tubing sit on top and soak that way .. it pretty cloggged I can not push any cleaning solution thru...and my solution is is gone..i see where I can use warm tap water ..you had mentioned you had previously had a severe clogged heads... how long did it take clear the clogs?

[@breezyofcourse]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! i have this exact model and magenta is not printing.. going to give this a a try as soon as i get home.

[@johnharding6401]

I fixed my Canon MG6250 by removing the print head and washing in water to get some ink out. Then I soaked it in Metholated Spirits in an icecream container, to get the rest of the ink out. the M S combines with water and evaporates quickly ( it is the E10 additive used in Petrol) and I blew it clean with a tin of compressed air. I re assembled it and plugged it in and did the start and stop buttons together which did the reset, and the printer worked perfectly with all colours and no B200 fault. But I dont know for how long, but it is fine. Note do NOT upgrade the software as I have been told that it stops the refillable cartridges being used. from Australia. Victoria.

[@cakesbyfaith]

Thank you for this. However, even after I did all of this pinks are coming out browns and oranges. Have you experienced this? Do you know how to fix this?

[@demontagemontage]

شكرا لك

[@Roadsurfer2k11]

Good vid, thx. Currently cleaning my 2 ts8120 printers to store after moving to megatanks for those non edibles you can use 91% alcohol with 4 tspn dish soap and few drops glycerin from drug store (put lubrication coat). I have no idea was edible ink is. People eating tshirts?

[@AikidoTubeSock]

You don't need to force the carriage to the right to unlock the printhead; just hold down the Stop button for a few seconds and it will automatically go to that spot. At least that's how it works on my Canon MX922.

[@chrisengland3965]

this exactly

[@carlobi]

Have you tried holding the stop button down so that the head moves to the head removing position?

[@littlelamblimited6694]

Great video...do you know where i can get it in England?

[@neillsouthwick8444]

Wow, great video. I suggest using needle nose pliers to grab the printhead when taking it out. For me that was the most frustrating part-getting the PH out. Your video really answered how the *#%@, ing thing comes out. It drove me nuts until I found your video. I was getting a Wrong PH message. I have two other MG7520 printers and just wanted to swap a PH from one of those into my main printer but couldn't figure how to remove the present PH until I found your video. BTW the swap solved my printer's issue. I was at a loss until you showed me how to get the old PH out. Many thanks. Neill

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

so glad it helped

[@Music-ve9nt]

I used to do it really well​ 👍

[@amwartwork]

i soaked mine in warm water overnight. this worked first time. the 2nd time it didnt. i put new cartridges in and worked (for a month). then even with plenty ink in and plenty usage (no drying clogging occured) m prints started comign out with missing colours. i then fucked the printer off and lost interest. lately ive decided to give it a go again as its now aproaching winter so printing is my christmas presents plus i make picture frames from scrap wood. yesterday i ran warm watere through for a good 5 mins and repeated it. twice. refitted after drying and still no ink was passing onto paper. so now this syringe method i hope will furrrrrrkin work. ive learnt not to neglect my passion (one of) through all this frustration and so i will now aim to print pne photo a day. even if it costs me money in ink, as actually in the long run i waste ink by clogging problems

[@syphouseng]

Thank you so much

This is awesome thanks

[@ianhacon7563]

Hi Yes thankyou for that...I cant bring up that kit on ebay? I have the MG7560 which also has the Grey ink but the kits that do come up don'[t seem to have the different sized attachments...Can you provide a link to the product..Much thanks...

[@lesliebennett7077]

Worked great for me. But I just used soapy water and a sponge.

[@mehtaj011]

Where can I purchase this kit and what is the name and price? Appreciate your reply.

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

icing inks and I am not sure of the price.

[@markevenden2386]

Do you know where the link absorber is? I'm getting a message that it's full. Do you think it's those pads you removed?

[@sakaribearden4356]

Nice...You didn't do a test page to show the result after the cleaning

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

I forgot :(

[@tianpan7228]

Very helpful, thanks a lot

[@bobshoaf36]

😅Where did you buy the kit to clean the printer?😅

Where did you buy the cleaning kit?

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Excellent, thanks

[@SuperWigMaker]

goodness lord, I did something similar and the first print had all colours mixed. I am going to run more prints and cleans and I hope my printer gets back in status. I think I'll have to send it back for fix :/

[@SuperWigMaker]

I fixed the printer, the ink went all over the place because there was water excess left inside the head nozzles. But my problem with the pigment black (the one that prints text) is still there exactly the same. I think I need a he

[@dalemuhammad3534]

Thanks.

[@Queenylav]

I hope it work for me. I tried the other videos but unable to fit the printhead back in properly to get printer to wrk. So frustrating.

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

I am so sorry. I know mine has a little part that has to be pushed to the side for it to fit properly. does yours have the same thing?

[@0paolotenti]

to move the bar in front of the printer head hold the stop button down 5 second and it will move so you can pull the bar and remove the head

[@afolabijnr]

hello, is there a chance of getting this cleaner kit in the UK?

[@28nictrip]

I cleaned my print head & still can't get correct print any suggestions? Nice tutorial

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

***** I would check to make sure your cartridge is not clogged up. You can only get so many uses out of each one bc eventually the sugar will clog the cartridge itself. If so then you can buy replacement ones from ink4cake.com or inkedibles.com What did you use to clean the print head?

[@Lollllllz]

the print head is finicky when it comes to ink flow so try flushing out your cartridges or using known good replacement catridges.If that doesnt solves your problem then try cleaning the print head be especially carefull not to install the print head wet especially if the whole print head had been soaked in cleaning solution(leave it out to dry for a day )and to apply gentle pressure when using a syringe to push cleaning solution through the nozzles.If the print head does not show improvements then the print head may be really clogged and longer soaking times may be used given enough drying time if that doesnt work then the printhead may be worn and a replacement is required the part may be found on the body of the print head starting with QYx-xxxx (e.g QY6-0078) the replacement will work as long as the previous print head has not suffered an electrical fault (marked by a regular pattern on the test page) it is recommended that you avoid ebay as many marked used printheads as new and may cause irreversible damage to your printer and instead contact a reputable canon parts seller.

[@carlinestarromand8292]

I did this but the pink is still not printing.... is there anyway to clean the cartridge itself? I have refillable cartridge

[@aldeibaran]

Thank you. You must have spent big time cleaning your table after cleaning the printhead.

[@ibraibra8035]

wow..........thank you very match

[@costanzoM]

Hi,can I use a new canon regular (brandsmart buyed)with edible ink?

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

I have done that in the past. Buy a brand new unused printer and put edible ink cartridges in it. just dont use it with regular ink ever.

[@sanchezvh]

Where can I buy edible ink for my Canon pixma pro 100 tnks

[@robertlee1549]

Can you tell use the size of the syringe and tubing?

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

It doesn't say but when you buy it online they send the proper size for the printer.

[@buenboideasenaccion5669]

hi i have a problem, my printer can't read the head print.. is a canon ix 6510, you know can i fix this? thanks. is the 1041 error.

[@momaninsaf680]

Can I wash it with water?

[@trishparsons3994]

You don't seem as concerned about the gold contacts at the back as other videos are. Is there a need for concern?

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

Trish Golden in not a printer expert so I kinda just went with it. Lol. Don't rough them up but you gotta get the water off too ;)

[@und4287]

It's fine as long as the printer recognizes the cartridges.

[@rski1036]

Remove head, run under sink faucet's HOT water till no more ink in sink. Dry & install. Been doing mine several years.

[@Trev0r98]

What about the little round rubber gasket ring thingies? And do you put scotch tape over the gold contacts on the circuit board, to keep it from getting damaged?

[@zdzichzcan2808]

press stop and hold for 8 seconds and the print head will move itself to the appropriate place

Look at the 'How to clean printhead manually using hot water' video before doing this.

[@chrisray88able]

I did all of this and my colors are now ok but the lines are not straight and some of the letters are blurred. any ideas?

[@CakesCraftsbyKass]

hmmmmmmm I am not sure why it would do that. I wish I could be of more help.

[@JumpmasterRT]

Go in to the menu and realign the head (may take a few tries). Should be good after that.

‼⚠Everything is right what she does. But one thing....PLEASE do NOT put your printhead back in until it air dries at least overnight. The tiniest water droplet can burn out your machine! I know, it was a costly mistake!‼⚠ I also just use a white vinegar/warm water solution...works great and so inexpensive!
