I can't believe how well its worked and how much money I can save on not getting stuff printed at Staples now. Thank you so much for the video too it really helped. It is much easier to do than you think :) Awesome product thank you!

When injecting the alcohol, the syringe was very hard to press and withdraw. I worked it this way numerous times. Still bad printing. Finally, I more forcefully injected the alcohol and then heard a "POP." I thought the black ink line had detached somewhere or the print head was now unclogged I could then easily inject and withdraw the alcohol. And, i could hear air being forced out of the print head. And then, after several cleaning cycles, by the machine, my black print is outstanding! I determined that the "POP" I heard was a valve or clog that was opened up.

my printer doesn't have those buttons for cleaning.... it's an MFC-J47100W. No streaks when I print, but the color is so faint! I did your test strips, everything was too light, only the blue was close to the true color, At least your video made some sense to me. I'm old and technology challenged. Most videos start explaining assuming we know more than many of us do.... it's another language to many of us older folks. Thanks!

that sounds like the roller arm that pulls in the paper to scan has ink, dust, or debris in the area that you see the line on the paper. Maybe try a cleaning of the roller - we had RICO printers at a former job of mine and this was a constant issue! the before mentioned tip was the solution.
