**UPDATE** This worked for me, MAKE SURE you do the wait times and follow the instructions. After waiting the 24 hours to turn it back on, did the POWER head cleaning I waited the additional 24 hours and ran a nozzle check, then had to run a regular head cleaning and everything was perfect after that!

Try having some grace with yourself, this process can require a lot of patients. I recommend starting from the beginning and redoing the cleaning and maybe that you have to do it several times, but don't rush it this process does work. It just takes time with some printers, especially.

You can repeat the process, and make sure that your ink is full when doing things like power, cleaning, and deep cleaning. Also, consider warming up the cleaning fluid and then reapplying.

Ok I followed all the steps ( I have converted mine to eco solvent) and now it’s printing blank I did the power cleaning after also .. so do I need to repeat the cleaning solution process ? or just do another power cleaning or print head cleanings ? Also had a question.. when pushing the solution through magenta it came out through the yellow. Does that mean it’s still clogged ? Cause when I did yellow it came out through magenta also instead of flushing out under the print head but black and cyan did not do that. Thank you !🙏🏻

You really don't have to remove all of the ink from the tank. You can just add additional ink on top of the already existing Ink.

This is such a great video and so easy to understand. I have a question, though. Back story - I printed about 20 pages without problem, but the next day there were lines that wouldn't fix with cleaning, purge page, etc. Cyan was the only color affected. We've followed your directions 3 times now, but there is still a problem with the cyan. With nozzle checks, head cleanings, and power cleanings, we're still getting major broken lines in cyan. Any idea where we can go from here? Thank you!

@BestPrinters

Hi, thank you for the comment, I know it may seem like you recently changed the ink on the printer, but that is what I would check at this point I would layoff on the cleaning kit cleanings. And only do nozzle, cleanings and power cleanings like you've been doing, but I would make sure that the ink is totally full. This will ensure that there is enough volume of ink entering the system.

We almost saw a positive change after a couple nozzle checks, but the next nozzle check/cleaning, it went back to the same 2 lines that have big portions missing. I appreciate your help.

Only you can decide if you need to do a second cleaning if you feel that the front quality can improve even more or that you did not sufficiently solve the problem the first time doing it the second time will absolutely benefit you.

The process will be very similar if not almost exact to the Eco tank 16,600. There may be a difference on how you access the printhead and I would just be maybe you have to loosen some additional screws, but that's about it.

Another thing you could do is just run a deep cleaning. It will be a lot less ink usage but you still may have to run it several times until your color returns. You were on the right track. This is a very common thing that happens through this cleaning.

Some go the whole way across the page very faintly, but on almost every purge page there is a small section of teeny black lines. They appear in the same place on every print out. I have been battling this for months...so much wasted ink, paper, and time. Any other suggestions?

I have tried all the steps to clean my print head and it’s still has lines going through the black ink. Even the nozzle check page does not print the words. And the alignment pages does not print out either. But when I print a purge page it does print black with narrow gray lines. Is there anything else that I can do? Thank you
