We removed and ultrasonically cleaned an Epson Precisioncore WorkForce WF-3640 and then convert it into a dye printer.

Great instructions. I like how you stopped the video and circled areas of interest, how you explain each step, and show errors encountered along the way. Since I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, I soaked the pieces in a small container of hot water. Over the course of a couple days I would swish the head pieces around in the water bath and replace the water. I then used a syringe to push through any remaining dried ink, and then used a can of compressed air to dry the pieces. After putting it all together again (and thanks for the reverse instructions!), I was able to print a nozzle check page. It's going to take a couple more head cleanings and one replacement cartridge (now the machine doesn't recognize the magenta cartridge, which was low anyway) - but it's working! Really happy that, at least for now, we don't have to replace the entire unit. Thank you for taking the time to put this all together.

I tried to unclog the printhead from Epson R280 - first with traditional methods (using cleaning liquid and syringe dumping the liquid into the pad below the head). I managed to unclog some nozzles. Then i tried to clean the head with soaking it into isopropyl alcohol (as some others on youtube suggested). I was able to unclog about 80% of the nozzles. Then I read about using ultrasonic cleaners and ordered one. I was rather cautious, and did not soak entire head - only the nozzle side. About 1 minute was sufficient to kill the printhead. The ultrasonic destroyed the glue layer which attaches the nozzle plate to glass piezo substrate. As the result, while few more nozzles were unclogged, the ink chambers now leak into each other and the head is not usable. The water fed into in ink port gets out through another. I removed the bracket holding the nozzle plate - and to my surprise, I was able to take it off... I am not sure if the problem was caused by the solvent or the age of the printhead - but before ultrasonic stage the leakage did not happen. I will post the pictures later showing the head internals and the effect of ultrasonic cleaning. But for Epson heads it is certainly a head killer. Maybe BCH will tell how the glue layer may be restored?

My Epson Workforce WF-3640 was from Costco and had an additional white ribbon connector (so three total), but with your very clear and detailed directions I was able to mark the ribbon ends so I would know what went where, and continue with the process. It worked eventually. I had to clean the printer heads and run test papers 5 times. I still don't have 100% clear lines on the test runs, but at least the Error Code 97 is gone and I am printing again. I used armed up denatured alcohol instead of window cleaner. It worked just fine. So much ink came out. Gosh the ports were clogged to heck and back. Thank you so much for this and for your generosity to the Epson Owner Community.

I was ready to trash my Epson Workforce WF-7610 printer. The print head was completely clogged - even after several cleaning cycles (which depleted couple sets of new ink cartridges) and even trying those cleaning kits on eBay with a syringe, tube and fluid, the printer just "printed" blank sheets. I came across your video, followed your instructions to the "T" and assembled everything back. After running just 1 cleaning cycle, I was so surprised to see all 4 color lines on the nozzle check. Two more cleaning cycles and the color copies looking wonderful! I get a paper jam error during printing with the paper getting stuck just under the rollers near the print head rails - I presume some rollers may have got wet. Will dry the unit for a day and try again. Kevin - you are awesome!

Great video. I pulled mine apart and did my best to clean it. Didn't have an ultrasonic cleaner but did push cleaner through the print head with the syringe to confirm all were clear. Note that one was extremely clogged and originally didn't print anything on the nozzle check. Still not printing 100%. Suspect there is still air and/or cleaning fluid somewhere in the system . Will run through a couple of cleaning cycles again.

we are officially at the point where epson print heads now only cost $20... back in 2018, they were about $160, lucky if you could find it for at lealst $100 or 89, then one day they hit $65... and now... $20 :3 it's a good idea to have it replaced once a year, also ease up on head cleanings, you'll ruin your capping station.

Oh.... Well then, $20 isn't too bad.. perhaps get two spare and clean them while other is Being used. They don't swap over that easily but at $20 a pop you could afford to drop them into cleaning fluid in an ultrasonic cleaner as is..may as well save on that at least for a hands off clean.

I have always used Epson ink in my WF-3640 with the exception of one time. The black ink worked for a couple weeks, then clogged up. I did a few head cleanings from the control panel, then replaced the black ink with Epson ink. After a few more head cleanings and letting the machine set for a day, I tried printing again. I could see black ink this time, though a little light. After one more head cleaning, voilá, it was perfect. I will never use any ink but Epson in my WF-3640.

Thanks for the video! If someone is using this printer constantly it would probably be a great printer. But, if not and the ink starts to set up…. I don’t have a sonic cleaner sitting around and to send it in for repair costs more than the dang thing is worth. Just a bad design. You should be able to flush the ink out of the ports if it isn’t going to be used constantly. Sadly mine is going in the recycle bin.

Dear Kevin,I have a problem with my Epson WF-3520.It was partially clogged,so I unclogged it with distilled water.Though the method seemed working (the water can pass easily trough the nozzles) the print quality is very poor,sometimes the page comes out totally blank.I tried some cleaning cycles but it didn't work.Any suggestions?

I have followed the video and feel that the clog is cleaned, but upon reassembly I only get blank pages which is worse than before the cleaning. Could there be a reason other than clogged head? I am not getting any error messages.

The same thing happened to me, I have the WF 7710. First everything printed except magenta and cyan were a bit jagged. I did the cleaning and the cyan and magenta is fixed, but now the black prints nothing at all! lol

Informative video..I have a Epson WF 7620, and I'm getting a Error code 0xF3. and I can't figure out how to troubleshoot it. It was working a few days ago and have had it over a decade. I heard it might be the sensor or disk, but I don't want to remove anything. I first was getting a 0x69 error code, but now it says 0xF3, maybe my ink carriage is clogged up too. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Does anyone know if I can use any Epson pigment ink with refillable cartridges on my WF-3640? Are all Epson pigment inks the same? Thanks.

If you reset the encoder strip and turn the printer back on, what causes the screeching sound at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="960">16:00</a> when the carriage slams into the left side of the printer????? I reset my strip and it still does it and won't initialize to the main menu.

Did everything - got the cleaning syringe from you guys. Everything is back together - no warning messages - just prints blank pages. Tried to run it a few times - but still not printing anything - just blank.

Isn't there a problem to submerge the printing head in water (in the ultrasound cleaner)? Won't it damage the circuit board?

Circuit board will be fine as long as it is completely dry before use. As long as you blow out the excess water and then let it air dry for a few hours board will be fine. 😉

when circuit boards are made, cleaning in a water solution happens several times. Just make sure it is DRY before putting back in use.

@CANBR First, don't use tap water. Use distilled/deionised instead. Then dry the printhead assembly thoroughly and leave it in the oven at *MAX 40°C* for 20 minutes.
