How to Unclog an Epson ET-2760 Printhead

Introdução

If your Epson ET-2760 printer is not printing complete lines and is having trouble printing a full color image, use this procedure to manually unclog the printhead.

The printhead supplies and transfers the ink onto the paper into the correct form for whatever is being printed, so before beginning, perform a head cleaning or a power cleaning to make sure that the issue must be dealt with manually. From here, the guide can be started following the steps below.

All of the following steps are easy to perform and require no prior skills. However, there is a chance that ink could get on one’s hands and clothes, so don't wear your favorite shirt!

Where do I find out the "manufacturer's recommended amount of solution" per flush?

Stelios Makrinos - Responder

Usually it's 5ml

But it seems that ink isn't even getting to my yellow and blue heads. At least, the test print shows no yellow or blue at all.

How can I get at the exit (valves?) on the ink storage tanks to make sure they're clear -- without breaking the printer?

Thanks!
