Hi, I want to thank you for this tips. I always had problem when refilling my ink cartridge and it clogged every time. Furthermore I had yo wait for hour before printing and even when I did that, it didn't work every time. Now I am doing this (with a straw) and it worked so perfectly :)!

[@vitriew]

How about HP officejet pro 8500A plus printhead? Can you show a video of this printhead?

[@robertkat]

Throw those inkjet printers in the garbage. Get a color lazer printer. I have an HP 2025 color lazer printer for 9 years, never a problem. From Amazon I get a set of 4 cartridges for $85.00 and they last a whole year.

[@martyca6]

It is cheaper on eBay like $7.99 for all colors. I use five different colors including the photo print black.

[@bearbearcompany1262]

Thank you so much for this! I have been refilling my cartridges for over 2 years and always ran into clogs that I could NEVER fix. I tried soaking in Windex, Alcohol, hot water, you name it! I always just ended up buying new cartridges, which defeated the purpose after only being able to refill it once. Who knew it would be as simple as blowing through a straw! You are a lifesaver! For anyone reading this who uses Canon cartridges where the cyan and yellow chambers are open at the very top (244), this did not make either ink spill over into each others chambers, even after refilling them with 1.5ml of ink! That was my biggest concern when doing this!

Thank you SO very much!!

[@DaabigO]

Wow!! After watching dozens of other videos on how to fill cartridges, buying ink, doing all the things I thought would work, this guy comes along and says to push air through the little hole! Well, I could not get a tube to work, so I took the risk and just blew on the hole with my mouth held tight to the cartridge. It worked!! Thank you! I did not get any ink in my mouth, on my lips, or anywhere but the paper towel. It took one firm blow! Now I don't have to go buy ANYTHING!! Thank you soooo much!

Hi-I can't thank you enough for your method for getting dried out inkjets to work. Your instructions were the clearest I came across and uncomplicated.

This is a 8 year old video and it's incredible how this method still work like a charmed on my canon cartridge. I was having problem printing black and white pages. I took the narrow plastic tube of my daughter's water bottle and blew into the hole where I would normally put the syringe and viola, it worked. My pages are now perfect! Thanks for sharing this method!

[@DKW3735]

Thank you for this video! I ran the cartridge cleaner on my HP printer over and over trying to get the black cartridge to print more than half of a line. Probably used half the cartridge trying to get it to work. Decided to check KZbin and found your video. Used the soaking method and in about one minute have a perfectly working cartridge! Awesome video - thanks again!

Perfect, thank you so much. Blowing through a straw worked! A pity I didn't come across this tip before. I've spent days soaking my cartridges to no avail. I got so desperate that today I ordered new HP cartridges (which I can now return for a refund). I have been refilling cartridges for years using good quality ink and a syringe.

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE BEST INK TO REFILL A KODAK 3250 PRINTER CARTRIDGE?

[@staylor5687]

You can add me to the list of happy viewers!! My black and red inks were just not working at all, even after doing the basic and deep cleanings recommended by my printer manufacturer. It took a nice blow into the tube to get that ink running again! What a life saver because there is no place in town that sells the ink cartridges that my old printer uses. I was desperate!! Thank you again for having a very useful video to help us out. 😃👍

[@electronicsNmore]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@rmg2419]

Thank you! My red wasn't coming out either. Just a few blows directly on the red hole and the red came out! Thank you so much :)

[@TinaKing1234]

I was at wits end trying all the stuff recommended by the manufacturer with no luck. Thank you for the simple solution. My printer is now printing properly.

[@tee4452]

Can't believe it but I've got a working printer now. Had an HP 3630 that I'd had in the box for a few years unopened. Has the 63 HP cartridges. When I tried to use it the first time, black was completely dried out and the color was about 60% dried with just blue and yellow coming out on test prints. Did your technique --with the color, soaked a couple of times then peeled back label and blew into hole with a straw--that got magenta going and it was good to go. The black took several soakings and a few straw applications but I eventually got it going. I had really thought that I wouldn't be able to get decent print from the black but I knew there was wet ink at the top of the pad. On the final soak of the black cartridge (25 minutes) I did see black ink floating around in the container so I thought maybe I had finally unclogged it. Then did one more straw application and I guess I had pushed enough ink down towards the bottom of it to get it operating normally. Result: The color output is near perfect and the black is about 90% OK with some faded print on the edges in places and some lines. But usable for sure and saved me 60 bucks. I think your comment that you had never not been able to get one of these going made me persist beyond what I normally would have. Mega-thanks for your video!!

Can confirm, my black ink cartridge on my Canon Pixma MX492 printer was clogged, tried this and it worked! Didn't have to blow into it, just soaking the print head in hot water did the trick. Thanks for the video!

[@zhenxiadeng9691]

works like wonder!!! Just went to repair shop and was told to leave $100 for deposit and inspection, will contact in two days. If I don't want to fix it, they give me $40 refund, if i decide to fix, i need to pay whatever the problem costs. I could have used $60 to buy another one or two printers!!! This video literally saves my printer. Thx!!!!

[@chefchemist7343]

Pretty good info. Definitely worth trying before buying another cartridge. Epson printheads are built into the printer...they are not removable. Also, only use distilled water. The minerals in tap water can cause the inks to seize (especially black inks) and solidify in the printheads. Be sure to dry all the water on and behind the flex circuit, as that can cause a short and make your cartridge unrecognizable in the printer.

[@electronicsNmore]

It works a most of the time, but not all. Sometimes the ink cartridge is too far gone. Thanks for watching!

[@gustavovm491]

For a Canon PIXMA which like Epson has the nozzles on the printer itself I rubbed qtips with alcohol on the nozzles then a dry rub to soak up excess alcohol and ink and it worked again.

[@ThugSoulja923]

Life saver!! Needed ink for a church service, and the cartridge didn’t get shipped in time. This brought our cartridge back to a workable state until the new one comes. Might I add we hadn’t used this cartridge since pre-pandemic.

[@mrRedFox]

Thanks a bundle mate. Pushing air though the ink chamber was the ticket for me. Quick soak and then blew it and all working perfectly again! You just saved me £50. Thanks again. (I had nothing to seal on the air intakes so I just wrapped my lips round the thing lol)

[@electronicsNmore]

Sorry I took so long to reply back. I just saw your comment. Glad to hear it worked doing it your way. :-)

[@christopherb6783]

electronicsNmore is that from a artisan inkjet

[@mrRedFox]

Since then I found a EASY way to seal a syringe into one of the holes. Wrap electricity tape around the tip of the refill needle and twist it into the hole and sharply push the plunger down and it'l work perfect.

[@electronicsNmore]

No

[@mrRedFox]

[@josequintana6526]

Great video that works. Had color HP 60 cartridge that sat unused in the printer for a long time. Took effort between what you show here and also cleaning the electrical strip with rubbing alcohol, before I finally got it to print out all three colors. Really worth the effort considering how much these cartridges cost. I first had to refill the cartridge with ink before I realized the ink had dried out in the jets holes. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@smokie33]

I tried and followed your instructions and it worked. It unclogged all of my blocked cartridges and they are all working again now. I find for me using this way works much better than having to buy an online inkjet flushout liquid using a syringe. Thanks for your video, as it really works for me anyway.

[@silentnight2671]

Just coloured or black too?

[@cardofourtyseven9321]

Did a black cartridge and this works great. soak printhead in isopropyl alcohol for a day. open main front hole in top of cartridge. Make sure other holes are covered tight. put a air blower attachment on a air compressor or just use a canned air container from walmart. Aim the cartridge bottom away from u in the garage. Hold the air compressor air tool about 10" from the open hole. set pressure low on the compressor. make sure your thumb is on top of the plugged holes on the cartridge!! Aim at the open hole and blow for a few seconds. Clean the exterior very good. Fill cartridge, tape all holes with tape.

Thank you. I tried cleaning the print head before watching this video and printed a blank page. These are basically brand-new cartridges, but they're rarely used. It's been at least 6 months since I last printed something, and likely over a year. After soaking both print heads in water for about 30 minutes they're printing beautifully.

Dude, you're a genius and a life saver. The YELLOW in my HP Tricolor ink cartridge was clogged. Red & Blue worked perfectly. Watched 2 other vids and their solutions didn't work. Although HP cartridges are a little different than yours, I peeled back the sticker & found the yellow hole and used the straw from my WD40 can and blew gently and the yellow became unclogged. For some reason my red got clogged so I blew in that hole and I was back in business. Thanks so much!!!

This does work.I have been in the audio and vid electronics repair for decades.Also pretty much any other thing as well.I spent years to master mind my printer because ink was just so darn high priced for paper that I burned off in one day.I been down the road with ink cartridges and all else.Unclogging as well, refills takes alot of Patience.It can be screwed up easy.Hot water and steam so to say brings out the ink.If it does not, do not skip step because it will help in the next steps.I have and use syringes without needle.Just plunger and the end of it is custom to fit hole I need and secure tight.I also long ago avoided newer printers.Of which are harder to crack or refill.Also contain like 4 or more darn cartridges.Still on my 90's 1 cartridge printer lol.

Thank you very much! I was just about to toss out a set of dried cartridges, I actually have new set installed, which works fine, but I'll need that too for converting it to an all black set of cartridges for better result in my PCB making process... :) I've figured out that in order to get black enough traces for blocking UV light I need to print the image in high resolution photo settings, on paper or film, but in high resolution photo mode the black color is actually not black since it's mixed of all 4 colors, which makes a litle bit greenish, which doesn't exactly blocks UV light... If I print it using high resolution photo settigns, but I take out the color cartridge it is black, but still transparent since it doesn't gets enough ink pomped into the paper. The best result I've got was with both black and color cartridges all compartment filled with black ink, but once I've converted the color cartridge to black, I was able to print 0.008" lines, but I was unable to print color images. I hope that won't be the case now. :)

Anything to avoid buying from printer companies, the price they sell ink is a RIPOFF, a STEAL.... I buy a printer that will accept easy refills, for most the work I perform with printers, even lower grade ink will do... At $20 - 30 per quart for cheaper, and $30 - 50 for excellent quality, you can save a bundle, knowing that most cartridges use about 4 to 8 ml. of ink and sell it for $25. I simply hate to be taken hostage that way......!!!!!!

Hi my friend, I watched your video and I'm very happy that I did it. Wow is amazing how smart you are my friend. I was about to give up, with my printer when I came across with your video. And I thank God first, and I thank you too. God bless you my friend.

I tried another cartridge. It had no ports or even a mark where to drill, so I just decided to suck on it :D That worked too, save for the mouthful of ink.

Thanks so much for this. I had an urgent print job and the cyan (blue) on my new (but out of date) genuine HP 78 tri-colour cartridge was blocked. Soaking in warm water didn't help so I tried the blow-through method. I had to drill a small hole through the filler plug in the top of the cartridge to reach the cyan tank, as there was no other way in. I used a straw to blow through the hole and hey presto! Cyan ink appeared in the bowl! I dried off the cartridge, put some sticky tape over the hole, installed the cartridge and printed off twenty perfect colour pages. Couldn't have done it without you!

From my experience, just don't buy a HP printer....

[@electronicsNmore]

Yes, they're troublesome, and the ink is more of a rip-off than other manufacturers. Thanks for watching! Be sure to share the video link with others.

[@ernjastia3854]

@@electronicsNmore what are the best but cheapest printer for document printing only? thanks

[@electronicsNmore]

@@ernjastia3854 I have a 50 dollar used HP deskjet 450 portable printer that I've been using for years with cheap ink. No problems at all.

HP specialises in making printers that stop working in 3 months. Never going to buy HP again in life

[@B.E.C.K.]

Always pay the $10 to get the 3 year warranty if buying via Amazon

[@noon_ainn]

maaaaannnnn.....I have no words that will be enough to show my gratitude to you. I was extremely worried about my printer and this technique has just proved to be a miracle. Loads of love and prayers for you. Stay happy and keep making such magical movies....😍😍💕💖

[@juanmacias4854]

Nice, thanks for the info. I dipped the ink jet head in hot-warm water and blew out some ink and it's working again. Much appreciated!

[@salmakhairallah2493]

[@Goody2shzToo]

Thank you. I ended up having to use a vacuum cleaner crevice tool to suck the ink out the bottom but I'm sure the half hour soaking helped a lot.

[@teeneger93]

You are my human !!!!! thank you so much. I felt so hopeless.

[@angelozucco6152]

This method works wonders. Next I tried the same with an ultrasonic cleaner and that was even better.

[@W0WHERMY]

It was hard to find what the problem was but once I figured out that it's the cartridge, this did the trick to clean it. Thanks

[@bobbailey8246]

Better solution is to not buy HP in the first place. I think HP stands for High Prices!

[@electronicsNmore]

Most ink cartridges are a big rip off, but HP gets the award.

[@TheRailroad99]

But there is at least one good thing about them: Their driver support ist EXCELLENT! My 25 year old printer has STILL drivers for Windows 10! And also my HP PSC1410 works quite well with Windows 7. Also they have very good Linux support. So I think this is quite good, other companies force you to buy a new printer that way. But I have switched to a laser printer, bought a used Brother HL6050 for 20€, thats less than a color cartridge for my HP DJ 3050

[@vinny4858]

Worked perfectly, left mine in for 15 minutes and now printing again, thanks.

[@ekalayac6]

aha.......thankssssss

[@kajanirahim]

Great buddy. It worked by simply blowing air in the cartridge. You are a genius. Thanks once again.

[@paulmarkowski9794]

Thank you for this video. I have a tool called a snap and vac from an after market bulk ink supplier- but the down side is it sucks out all the colors and not just the one that is clogged. In my case- I was getting yellow only briefly after cleaning. I used a little piece of small engine fuel line tubing that works perfectly. My cartridge was so clogged, I had to do this several times, but finally the yellow was completely clear- so clear that it put the blue and red to shame! Both of these are more of a purple and maroon, so my guess is that both of these heads are only partially clogged, so I will now do the tube method on each of these until they improve. Thanks again for taking the time to put this video out, and assisting us thrifty printer re-fillers!
