Great video. Your video making skills have improved greatly also. 🎉

[@HangryMuscle]

No I didn’t

[@EDSPORTSS]

Hey what’s you color setting

[@las1368]

Hangry Muscle, I have been doing everything you said in this video and I still have half of the nozzle check boxes. bottom lines are good to mid lines, then the top lines are missing. Is my print head shot? Should I take out the print head and soak just the head (less than 2/16th of an inch in extreme cleaning solution) for a few hours, then put it back in and try this method again?

[@spincitycottoncandyconcess1828]

Speaking of the print head did you ever have to adjust the height to stop getting streaks

[@ManuelSilveyra]

Thanks for the video. What cleaning solution did you use?

My white is still not printing. What solution are you using? I used alcohol on my paper towel

[@thaoddones6422]

I've done this quite a few time but only one color from my printer isn't printing

[@HangryMuscle]

For colors that will not return. I use this kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3ublaSYgKqnjtU
