Don’t do this unless you’re prepared to do a lot of very difficult fiddling to re-attach the drainage tubes. 😊 I found the following essential: a crocodile clip to clasp and hold the bottom drainage tube whilst re-attaching it to the pad holder. The back drainage tube is just as difficult to re-attach. In the end I resorted to cutting a small slot in the white plastic pad holder so that the back tube could be attached to the pad holder before the latter was pushed down into place. I don’t think this affects printer performance, and the printer works well after the procedure, but be warned - that’s not guaranteed! I also found tweezers, a small bright torch and magnifying glasses very useful. Good luck. I probably won’t try this again. 😮

What you fail to mention is (a) the black pad holder is impossible to extract due to the 4 clips holding it in the white mount. (Bl the bottom drain tube is impossible to reconnect due to lack of space. I have posted a video with a solution to both problems. Search under Epson ET-7700 ink pad problem resolved.

It's impossible to separate the black pad from the white base. The 4 locking pins are too firmly gripping the white piece. Lever off the whole part and immerse in water. Retracing the pipes isn't easy...

Postscript: After numerous cleaning sessions my printer started smudging text inside the left hand margin with no known fix apart from an expensive repair - so be warned. It still makes pristine photo prints and DVDs but not documents, so I bought a cheaper Epson ET-2820 Ecotank as a backup and made sure I got a 5 year guarantee. But it uses different ink bottles to the ET-7700 - thanks again Epson!

Great video - thanks Tony. I would though recommend cleaning the pad in situ as I found it's very difficult to reconnect the drain pipes as in a very confined space and the ink inside the pipes lubricates the connection so the pipes slip out easily.

Hi Tony I wouldn´t recommend your method, the system is very fragile. Taking out the plastic pad entirely risks breaking the little spout that connects to one of the pipes. I did. That was a bummer. I fixed it all right. I recommend lifting the metal grid off, pulling out the foam and giving it a good rinse. And with a damp artist paint brush to clean the outside as much as possible. Rinsing the paintbrush at every swipe into clean water. I changed the water every time. Then dry with a hair dryer on cold position. This is the way I will do it in the future. Also putting it all back is a real pain unless you have surgery tweezers to block the pipe that is underneath so that you have enough space to place it all together again. Avoid doing this if you have large hands! Thanks anyway, I wouldn´t have learned anything without your video.

@hilaireoloughlin @tonyneal100 Thanks to both of you! I did it an ever simpler way, just padded the foam/grid with toilet paper. Used about 20 sheets to get rid of the excess ink to the point where the toilet paper started to show defined inprints of the metal grid. I then printed a test document and a picture, and both looked perfect! No need to dissasemble anything, atleast not in my case.

Good idea but what method did you use to put the metal grid back in place?
@DaveInBridport2 ай бұрын
Remove the whole unit - white base included. I've ordered some tubing off ebay for next to nothing plus a connector. Going to splice in a 10mm extra length to the centre tube to make refitting 100x easier. That metal grid is heat welded to the plastic pins and won't reattach if you pull it off...
@TonyNeal100 Жыл бұрын
If you want to clean the ink pad without removing it, just use a wet-wipe to clean away excess ink then use tissues to dry it out. Tip: get a toilet roll, fold the first few sheets lengthwise until you can slide them under the print heads to clean away excess ink. Just keep unwinding and folding fresh sheets from the roll until they come out clean.
