[@cblackjeep98]

The best part is when he says be careful.

Thanks so much for this video. It was really easy to follow the directions and I was able to dismantle and reassemble it quite easily. Thanks!!!

hi, is the R3000 print head compatible with the Epson SureColor P600 ???

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Hi! The part. code is F196010 The printhead is the same of the P600, 3880 and 3890. Listing price for Italy is €491,26 I hope this helps :3

Thanks for posting this. I removed the printhead, cleaned it, then replaced it exactly as I had taken it apart but now the print head carriage is stuck. Any ideas? I hope I didn't break it somehow...

Waow ! I'm impressed. Not sure I'm able to do the same thing, but I may be obliged to try, because I don't have any printing from the 2 black cartridges (PK and MK) and I don't manage to clean the print head. I suppose cleaning the print head after removing it is the next step ? Anyway thanks for this video, very helpfull !

I know 4 months passed since this comment, but just wanted to say that if you don't fix it cleaning the printhead, you could have a clogged/defective black switch valve! I hope this helps :)

Hi from Kansas 🇺🇸

[@nello4185]

il smontaggio non è esattamente così, perche non può tirare tutto e strappare tutti i contatti, ci sono altre viti e procedude per togliere la cornice e tutto , l'ho viisto ma non mi ricordo più dove...

[@torbjornolsson4851]

Something's kind of screwy with this printer.

[@tomburton8239]

All this trouble removing the housing panels is unnecessary. On an R3000 the print head can be removed directly. Jump to half way thtu this video.

[@paulhorsted9057]

Do you mean it can be removed by merely flipping the lid open and following the other steps here from that point around 3:15 in the video? Thank you.

[@paulhorsted9057]

It appears you cannot remove the single screw seen at 3:20 (for removing the top of the printer head assembly) without getting the top of the printer off first, as the screw is not accessible without that step, so I'm not sure this information from Tom is correct but I'd love to hear more. I'm tearing into my R3000 right now attempting to replace the print head.

Updating my own repair, in hopes this will help someone else. Accessing the print head assembly and actual print head, without removing the entire case, can be done but is a very tight fit getting the parts in/out of the printer. Here's what I did: I drilled a hole (large enough to insert a screwdriver through) through the plastic interior cover of the printer, directly above the single screw for the black plastic cover of the head assembly (which I had moved to right of center of the printer, to the left of the capping station). I could then remove that single screw holding the black lid of the print head assembly in place (via the drilled hole, where I'd inserted the screwdriver). (When drilling, I was careful to capture all pieces of plastic which fell. Don't let them get down into the printer.) To remove that print head assembly lid screw, you might instead be able to sneak a flexible or angled screwdriver in through the top of the printer, but I didn't have one of those. Then, taking a lot of care, I was able to follow the rest of the steps in the video for removal of the print head, disconnecting ribbon cables, etc., and get those parts out, all without disassembly of the printer case as shown in the first half of the video. Note some screws in the print head assembly are similar but I think different sizes, keep track of which one goes where for re-assembly. Having said all of this, it would be easier to get the print head parts in and out of the printer if you take the case apart as shown earlier in this video. I was able to replace a print head without doing so, but it was very tight, I had some difficulty with reassembly, and there was some risk of pinching cables in the process. But in the end, I have a new head installed thanks to this video showing the way. BTW I had removed a print head from another R3000, which had never been charged with ink due to some fault in the pumping system and was out of warranty when this fault was discovered. I had no issues with that print head working in this other printer I've been working on, other than having to run cleaning cycles and test pages to get it full of ink and printing correctly. I thought there might be firmware or other issues but so far so good.
