Oh yes thanks, I’m using this option for printing stecils for almost 3 years now and I won’t switch to anything else. Everyone is making fun of me since I’m trying to convince my tattooing friends to use this setup…

Love the quality these inkjet printers produce for stencils. I previously had a Monochromatic version of this (black-only) and left it sitting for too long thus clogging the print heads. I’m in the market for a new one now and might actually go with one that has colour tanks instead - based on the way you were troubleshooting this problem it seems the other print heads dedicated to the colour tanks can be used as back ups for when the black one inevitably begins to clog. My question to you is: do all the tanks need to have ink in-order for this printer to print?

Thanks Form germany Bro. Thais Tipps are sooooooo Food thank you for That

Good day! I want to get an eco printer but I'm concerned that if I don't use the printer at least once a week, the ink will dry up in the tubes. Will your cleaning methods work or would you advise I clean the printer after every use? Thanks to anyone who can give up an answer

I’m using rubbing alcohol instead cleaning solution, works even better

I also have an Epson M1120 printer. but I still haven't found paper to be able to print tattoos. Can you please tell me where I can find this special tattoo paper? if it exists on amazon or something

I eventually cleaned the tank and added black ink to see if the issue is with the printer as it was new and it worked. Any tips on if I can eventually make it work?

I installed a new printer today. but I immediately get vague stencils when I print I don't understand what I'm doing wrong maybe you know what's going wrong or what I can do. greetings

Hi! Do you have any solution for my M1120 problem? I think it’s clogged but I don’t know how to fix it :(( it’s monochromatic that’s why there aren’t any pipes I don’t think?

Do you use photoshop filter or print picture as it is?

Hey Jono its been a while its Andy from Boston. I keep having my EcoTank jam like it will take 2 pieces stuff like that. Any help you can give my friend?

Have you used the printer cleaner sheets? I used them to revive my old HP office jet all in one. It was having issues even with the normal cleaning method via the printer menus and fresh ink cartridges. They are soaked in cleaning solution and it runs through like paper to clean the heads.

So when power cleaning, do you fill up the other tanks with stencil ink as well? You mention that they need to be 1/3 filled but did not say what you use. I have been using an Epson ET 2720, it was working great for a long time until I forgot to refill the BK tank. Since then it has not printed properly, I have used a cleaning solution and kit for the printer head and nozzle, and made sure that the ink can flow smoothly from the tank to the damper. It still prints incredibly weak, so I believe I should do the power clean to hopefully fix this? pls help!

Hi Jono, what preventative maintenance would you suggest so that this issue doesn't arrive in the first place? Just topping off the tank when ever it gets down to half full? Also, how many bottles of ink does it take to fill all the tanks? I'm just about ready to buy this product in a bundle and it's expensive for me so the information provided really helps. This printer would save me so much time vs my thermal printer. Thanks for answering in advance!

I wouldn't leave the printer stood too long without using it, by that i mean if you're not busy never leave it a few weeks. Always run some stencils off to keep things flowing. A bottle of stencil ink will completely fill the black tank and should 1/2 fill the 3 colour tanks.
