The hero we needed haha. Thank you

[@gokuvbp8844]

subscribing because I needed this energy while fixing this monster of a printer

[@JustAndrew1]

Did all. Nothing worked. Only black is broken. What to do now

[@Jujubean9795]

Return it

[@ItsMeRobynMarie]

Thanks so much. I've been struggling with this for hours, checking , rechecking, cleaning, re checking, but the firmware one was something I didn't try!

[@penquin875]

Thank you, Who knew cleaning a nozzle was a thing and that the printer did it on its own. Worked for me and now I can print. Thank you.

[@Nocturne2]

Just a heads up to anyone watching this video. I did a "Power Cleaning" and it worked after doing about 7 or 8 normal cleanings. Fair warning....Power clean does use about a quarter to a third of your black ink.

[@SackyX]

I have an issue that the the black is printing uneven horizontal(from the direction the page comes out) banding evenly spaced but variation of light and dark blacks. All tanks are new ink cartridge's. I ran a deep clean on the machine and a nozzle check as well. Any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance.

[@dumbdumbduoanidiot7988]

This was SUPER helpful!! Step 7 (Cleaning) was the step that worked for me! Thanks a bunch!

[@PysiX-un6ym]

Perfect problem fixed with power cleaning back print fixed thank you kindly

[@jasminleblanc9678]

thks for the tips, question, after reset factory, the best is to download directly the last firmware update or test with the first version. normaly the machine don't keep the firmare in memory if we made a hard reset. thks!

[@paigettie]

I have a Et-3710. Cleaned the heads and the black started showing up. Cleaned again and good to go!

[@jeffrudnick5775]

He says reset to factory settings and doesn't say how.

[@ThugDrama]

It’s in the maintenance menu.

[@lawrencewhitlock880]

Has to be one of the lamest DIY b by ideas I’ve seen in yrs. It’s video is for people that can’t read!

[@PaulaJanke]

Thank you! It worked!

[@timmy2310]

What worked for me was 1-removing the jammed paper. 2-fill all ink to the top line 3- reset all the ink levels.

[@tierrabriggs7581]

If it’s sublimation ink you aren’t suppose to update firmware right

[@myladynoir00]

What if you have to clean the nozzles 3x every time you print something in order for the black to unclog? My ink levels are all about 80%

[@lindagracethorne8606]

I’ve done all these steps and still can’t print any black.

[@matthewjohnson3656]

@@lindagracethorne8606 Did you ever fix this? My colors are fine but black barely even shows up. I do a power clean and gets halfway through a page before becoming really faint again.

[@lindagracethorne8606]

@@matthewjohnson3656 nope. I took it to a repair shop and they said itd be more expensive to fix than just buying a new printer

[@matthewjohnson3656]

@@lindagracethorne8606 thanks for responding

[@matthewjohnson3656]

@@lindagracethorne8606 I fixed it!. It seems like some air got into the vacuum chamber which draws ink into the print head. I was able to use a syringe to prime the damper as shown in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIWTknpjlNWMm9U

[@52Mirza]

You did not mentioned how to go to the screen to clean nozzle.

[@Luca.121]

Straight to the point and helpful. Thank you so much!

[@gingerj9788]

Hasn't worked for me so far. 😭 Currently reconnecting with the internet after going back to default settings to see if I can do a factory reset. 🤞🏻

[@everydayodyssey1]

I am going crazy. Mine is printing OK, but my blacks are printing as a dark green-- like the printer is trying to make black from the colored inks. Black looks fine on a nozzle check but it won't utilize black ink to print black.

[@RockaBilly-q3q]

Followed all the steps but Magenta not printing at all. Is there something I can do besides taking apart unit and attempting to clean the Magenta print head?

[@kathrynkeeran2822]

Thank you!!

[@CypherEmcee]

How do you clean the nozzles though?

[@MeegMaster]

On the printer, scroll over (use right or left arrows) to "Maintenance", then select "Print Head Cleaning".

[@dilrubanasrin1643]

It was really helpful, thank you.

[@aubreybuffington5513]

Thank you! very helpful!

[@sueperdoch558]

I did everything, nozzle checks, head cleaning, factory reset, troubleshoot with geek squad, still not printing black

[@robertcaldy723]

All 6 doesn’t solve the problem, not an easy fix its just a bad Printer brand.

[@beabaez1998]

I have epson te-2760. My question is when I print photos it has to much red and I’ve tried by cleaning the head and vertical and horizontal but still the same

[@dojagrl209]

You need to lookup settings for the printer. When its too red the colors are off on the settings

[@BarbaraBeers-o8y]

You give ideas but do not show how to do any of those . Also number one unplug what if it’s not plugged in and you are running solely on wifi . Thanks

[@LiterallyRain]

Unplug the power cable, not the ethernet cable

[@katherinebates6305]

Mine doesn’t print anything how do I fix that

[@Neothechozen]

Not helpful at all. Spoke too fast and doesn’t actually ever tell you how to do any of the thing he advises.

[@a.g7236]

Didn't even get to print one page successfully. Shouldn't be having this issue right away

[@labichota87]

You said the same thing ten times about an issue with black ink that’s the obvious

[@cranesouder7003]

So how the hell do you actually clean the heads??????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@Arkayla2017]

On the little screen under “maintenance” there is an option for cleaning the head. Select it, it’ll ask you to confirm the cleaning of the printer heads, click “ok” and it takes a few minutes.

[@cranesouder7003]

Thank you. @@Arkayla2017

[@louismundinger5000]
