It would be great if you could provide a video specifically on the ET-4700. In reading the following comments, there are several owners having trouble accessing its printhead.

If you still have this problem, the ET-4700 has two screws keeping the top from opening and revealing the print head. If you lift the display up to the horizontal position and look right underneath it, you will see 4 screws, if you unscrew the outer two you can lift up the scanner part and access the printhead. If you push up on the hinges of the display it is very easy. Watch out and do not open the top part to far, about 45 degrees is fine, it has three ribbon cables in the back on the left side and will disconnect the scanner cable. Hopefully this is helpfull.

@Best Printers - I was going to try this procedure and purchased the cleaning kit to do so. I had a problem that both cyan and yellow did not print at all. Black and magenta were fine. But before using the cleaning solution, I inspected the false cartridges for cyan and yellow and they contained no ink. So I don't think that my problem is currently a clogged head. It is really that ink is not flowing from the tanks to the false cartridges. How do I address this? Do I use a syringe plugged into the bottom of the false cartridge to suck ink from the tanks back into the cartridge after opening the top of the tank to allow air intake? I was also thinking a power cleaning may work but why waste all that ink and fill the maintenance box unnecessarily?

It seems like a brut force solution: run enough fresh ink through it and it will eventually clean out the dried ink. What I did was create a doc page with four large squares on it. I created the color in those 4 blocks of Black, Magenta, Yellow and Cyan. Once the three blocks were coloring great, I created another doc page with just one large block that I set the color to 100% Cyan. I am currently running a print for that page over and over again. So far it hasn't started working. I may be wasting some paper but at least I'm not throwing a lot of good ink from the colors that work in the maintenance box. I think my way is a better solution. If doing a power head cleaning actually cleaned the print head some way, it would be worth it but it does not. I used the rest of my solution this morning, 10ml for Black and 10ml for Cyan. As I stated above, the black is working again but not the Cyan. I'll PM you on Amazon. I don't mind paying for the solution but I don't need to buy another syringe. I really wish that there was some way to take the print head box out so I could physically clean the heads but I don't see a way. It would probably require a lot more disassembling than I care to do. On the other hand, it is pretty useless right now.

@@BestPrinters You should definitely put a disclaimer and include that when you do a power cleaning, it uses a ton of ink and WILL fill up your maintenance box, and that you may need to have an extra maintenance box on hand. Most people don't realize how much ink is lost when doing a power cleaning and that it goes directly to the maintenance box.

I’m having a warning that my printer is locked to call Epson. I know that the ink pads are needing to be changed but my black in has been giving me issues for months. I have an ET-4800 sublimation. I think the head cleaning would help but I’m unable to do anything with my printer to access the ink cartridges.

Try unplugging and resetting the printer. They may have some luck online finding instructions to do additional resets on the printer so that it gets unlocked or call Epson and see what they can do to help you unlock it then you can do the cleaning.

@@BestPrinters I’ve actually had luck with getting it back to printing. I had a wire that came unplugged and I had to do a flush out of the print heads so I did the black only, changed out my maintenance pads and put it back together and thank god it works. Thank you for your advice though.

Is this good for the epson 15000

I finished cleaning my ET-4700 and now have a E-02 Error (scanner error) that pops up upon startup and I can't navigate away from it. I've unplugged it and turned it on and off and it still keeps popping up. Anyone had issues with this with their ET-4700 after cleaning?

Continue trying to reset the printer, by unplugging and plugging back in and powering on and off. The code should reset after some time. If you didnt wait 24hrs before powering on after using the kit, that may be what caused the code.

Same happened to me on the same printer. I was able to fix it. What happened was I had opened the top wider (even though I was very careful not to), and it pulled out one of the cable on the left side by accident. There are 2 cables on the back left side when you open the printer. I wiggled the thinner and shorter one and it was loose and disconnected although it looked connected when I look at it from frontal angle. I took a small wood to prop the top open just so I can reconnect the short cable. It will be a tight opening. Sort of like peeking on the side of the printer. I used a small clamp to reconnect it and a flashlight. Maybe you can use a tweezer. I hope this helps.

Hey what about if it’s not printing nothing at all

You will have to run multiple power cleanings if that is the case.

It should be the same process as in this video. You might have to undo some screws to get to the printhead.

I have this on also and 2 colors don't print at all no matter how many nozzle test/cleanings I do. So now I have to try your method but the 15000 container opens differently. I'm afraid to break it.
