[@cappie7317]

You are the freaking man! I have a procolored l1800 I had to let sit for over a month while out of town for a funeral. I’m hoping I can follow this amazing instructions and get my printer back up again soon. Thank you.

Bro, awesome video. I was about to replace my head with a new one. I saw this video and thought of trying it as it was very well explained. I followed the video and now my printer is printing like brand new. Thanks a ton man. Also I would like to say that your explanation is really awesome. Just saw the video once and could follow along. You saved some bucks of mine. Thank you so much.

Can I make my own cleaner I’m in an emergent situation and need to get shirts done and my white is not working and is missing the middle half of the nozzle check. Also when you say soak the print head is it the nipple part or the bottom gold part? Thanks for the help

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

I’m not sure that you can make your own cleaner however I’ve hear that you can. You can soak both the top nozzle and the bottom

[@kaydre16]

What is the cleaning solution used?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

It is for sale on my website :)

[@saligator7471]

Thanks

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

No problem!

[@LSM001]

Hello! I am a newbie at this problem. Great video by the way. So my question is do you start the printhead cleaning right after the whole process of unclogging, cleaning, drying, and putting everything back into place? Or do you wait 12+ hrs.?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

The longer you wait the better you don’t want any cleaning liquid going inside your cables!

[@jeremiahhampt8957]

I did the print head cleanning and my printer want print. Do you have any suggestions on what could be happening.

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

A few things can be causing this can you kindly give us more information

[@cheddahdayday8214]

May i ask after nozzle check my i have lines but words are blurry and a slightly double

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Please send us an email - [e-mail]

[@katrinasheppard7139]

Would this be helpful if my printer stops printing black and blue, nozzle checks are barely printing white

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

It could be the print head needs a deep cleaning, you’ll need to take it apart to get to the bottom of it!

[@vanessacrowe1171]

Thanks so much for the awesome videos. I have a relatively new UV printer and all the colors are printing fine except white. I was able to achieve the spray like this video but white is still not printing. I’m about to buy a new print head but could it be something else. I’m stumped. Thanks so much

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Thanks for your kind words. Are you still experiencing problems?

[@thesmoothgoat]

Cool video man, but as an actual printer tech, I can say this is a good method but various steps should be done before you attempt to push flush through printhead. This might actually make things worse by pushing actual ink into print nozzles. First steps you should take is to soak printhead in solution for a few hours n then reverse flush ink by using syringe then n only then should you try push flushing for clean curtains spray.

[@JustMe-xd2vc]

Reverse flush. Forward flush will push against the seals and ruin print head

[@thesmoothgoat]

@@JustMe-xd2vc yes it will if printhead is really clogged and you try pushing as first step, that's why i clearly stated to soak head for about an hour then "reverse flush first" n then u will be able to push flush to see if curtains spray, but if there's any resistance then stop and repeat steps one and two.. Its simple. Of course if printhead is super clogged and u simply try pushing with a lot of pressure you will bust the seals.. I just unclogged two printheads yesterday using same exact method.. One for epson 1430 and Epson 3880 now working flawless..

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Thanks for the words of wisdom!!

[@JannessFuentes]

I followed all the steps, but I cannot unclog the white ones, I don't want to put so much pressure. All the other colors are cleared, does that mean I need another print head?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Might be the problem, try flushing it again if not I would change the print head

[@bugginfelix]

How often are you going through all of this?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Whenever you’re having problems with your print head, if you’ve been doing head cleanings multiple times it might be worth to do it

[@therealrenderman]

after doing a power ink flushing my printer got messed up. now when I do a head clean on my computer, all the colors come out correctly, but when I print, only the blue and red ink only comes out. can I still save my print head? or is it due for replacement already?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Hello sorry to hear that Are you still experiencing problems?

[@Rachelwagner15]

So I tried doing this on my print head and when I try to push the solution through the nipple it just comes out of the nipple beside it on every color. Does that mean it’s clogged?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Could be bust most likely not everything is clogged could be something else going on

[@kimberlyharrison8716]

I replaced my print head because when I print, it only prints a blank page. I am a teacher, so it sat over the summer and was not used. I just cleaned my print head and still nothing. Do you have any suggestions on what to try?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

It’s important to use the printer everyday!

[@PrintBossTT]

Hi I’m getting an ink out error after unclogging my bead Epson Stylus 1390

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

[@Organicbizzle369]

My problem is my yellow won't come out from the print head or dispense at all from the print head. I have the L1800 dtf printer

[@QueenBDesigns]

[@Organicbizzle369]

@QueenBDesigns I followed the same instructions in this video and it worked! My yellow works but cleaning the print head
