Printhead Cleaner Kit-1PK

Excellent did the job and saved me buying a new printer

I expect this is a excellent product. I used it to attempt to clean the head of a very old Epson R300. It cleared 4 colours perfectly unfortunately it failed on 2 colours. I gave up after the continuous head cleaning was eating up ink cartridges. On a newer printer I am sure it would be great.

Brilliant, printer hasn't worked for two years, was about to throw it out but thought I'll give this a try. Took two goes, and now works perfectly!

Didn't work for me.

I was a tad nervous of cleaning the two blocked print heads on my Epson ET2700 (the other two were fine, which surprised me as I'd not used that printer for almost 12 months!) so did a bit of 'googling' to find out how. Found a very useful instructional video so that took the edge off the nerves. Secondly, I had a hunt around for the right tools for the job, ie this! With mostly fabulous reviews, I took those over the few negative ones and made the purchase. I live in a remote area, but the parcel arrived within a couple of days which was excellent. I swatted up on the video again, and did a 'dry run' with fitting the tube onto the print head and the syringe, just so I knew I'd got the correct bits attached to the correct places. (Epson didn't require any of the additional supplied bits, but it's very handy that they obviously cater for many different home printers, and the instruction leaflet enclosed basically shows which bits you need for your brand of printer). I prepped my printer with folded paper towel and (handy tip) a strip of plastic bag I'd cut to around the same size as the folded paper towel... this stops the liquid (when your print head unblocks) from pouring out through the paper towel and into your machine, making much less of a mess (if any at all) to clean. I cleaned both heads (changing paper towel between each one, as they get sodden with ink/cleaning liquid so it's worth changing between each head you need to clean) very slowly, and put everything back together, leaving the machine open (to air dry any bits of fluid that might have been hiding away) for 24 hours (as per the recommendation of the guy on the video I watched), and ran a deep clean on the printer to clean any residue off the heads before doing a nozzle check. Bingo! Worked first time! It's well worth taking a little time to get areas prepped (in case of accidental spillage etc) and maybe do a quick search to see if you can find an instructional video for your specific model so you're armed with the practical information as well as this great little cleaning kit. Good luck! :)

I confess I was trepidatious of pulling the print head from my recent purchase of a used Canon Pixma IP8750 printer but the black was completely dead. Had I bought a pig in a poke? So I figured nothing ventured, nothing gained and washed the heads in water. The black came back to life - yeh! But the grey became very patchy and so I bought this 'proper cleaner'.An interesting result! Bear in mind that the ink nozzles are then full of cleaner not ink, but initially I thought all had gone badly...the grey had not improved but vanished altogether! I kept printing and suddenly all jets were printing their test print perfectly. So yes, factor using quite a bit of paper after one of these cleans but the result is perfect. Bear in mind a new print head is a substantial about of money and that is what I would have been looking at without this cleaner.Very impressed. It was easy to use, even if one is not a techy by nature and in value for money saved me buying a new head - so good value. As for functionality. It does exactly what it claims and I was impressed how its syringe mechanisms delivered options to make it work best for one's specific printer.

To call this trash is an insult trash. None of the pieces fit, with exception of the yellow nozzle. Good luck trying to get cleaner fluid into the printer tubes when the silicone tube does not even fit the syringe let alone the ink cartridge port that would allow you to flush the ink line.Seriously, I am finding that the products on Amazon are becoming more and more like the ones you find on Temu. No, Temu is better, you get what you pay for and there is no expectation of the quality other what expect.

Nice kit with everything you need, although I needed to use considerably more than the instructions said. For my Epson Eco tank printer, it took about 80ml of repeat flashing to finally get it working properly again, considerably more than the 2-3ml stated in the instructions!
