How to clean the printer head

How to clean the printer head

Along with the mass of its advantages, the inkjet printing technique has two significant drawbacks with which it is necessary to be considered - the high cost of original consumables and problems associated with large interruptions to use. Restarting cartridges with compatible inks leads to a gradual clogging of the nozzles of the printhead, and a long "simple" - to their drying. You can restore the health of the printer head using its washing.

1
Constructive design of the corresponding block in different models of inkjet printing devices can differ significantly. We are looking for on the Internet and learn the appropriate instruction, then remove the head. Especially neatly appeal to the plumes. Excessive force when they are disconnected or strong inflection are able to bring a loop into an unsuitable state for further operation.

Winning printheads can be performed using specialized (for example, inktec, OCP, WWM and other companies) or suitable liquids. Vodka, like other liquids containing ethyl alcohol, are not suitable for this purpose. The optimal mixture can be made independently:

  • 10% isopropyl alcohol;
  • 10% of the ammonia;
  • 10% glycerin;
  • 70% of distilled water.

But it will be easier and cheaper to use means for cleaning glass type "Mr. Muskul" or "Master Glitter" containing ammonia alcohol.

To work with flushing fluids, we will need a medium syringe and a small capacity, such as a deep saucer or cover. You will also need any bandage and PVC tubes of a suitable diameter, for example, from the blood transfusion system. In order not to stain your hands - we use medical gloves. A piece of bandage cut off, fold into several layers and put on the bottom of the tank. The second tampon, moistened in flushing fluid, without fanaticism, we wipe the lower part of the printhead, after which we put it with nozzles to the first bandage.

4
We remove and rinse sealing gum of intake holes, and their grilles carefully wipe the next tampon. Fill the syringe with flushing fluid and alternately drip on one drop on ink fences. With small clouds, the liquid will "leave" into the head and rinse it gradually. Perhaps you will have to replace the tampon several times in the container until it stops colored ink washed.

5
If at least one by one fever is not - we dress up the holes of the pivots of PVC tubes with a length of 4-5 cm and fill them with flushing fluid. In addition, we pour it into the container in such a quantity so that it covers the bottom of the head, and we assume everything in a secluded place for 3-4 hours. Periodically, we look at the level of fluid in the tubes and, if necessary, fill.

6
If, as a result of prolonged crossing, the passability was never restored - we turn to the pressure of the washing under pressure. To do this, select an adapter on the tube for the syringe fitting and connect it. Pour clean liquid into the container and try to pull it through the print head into the syringe. The rotten flushing agent is not reused. Washing the head of the injection of the liquid without sufficient experience is better not to be used - it is very easy to damage the nozzle.

With a certain accuracy, it is not very difficult to clean the head of the inkjet printing device, even in the case of a strong blockage. The most important thing in this matter is not to rush.
