Dear everyone.... happy to be part of this helpful forum ;)

at the moment I've been looking for any tool/machine to repair / clean up the printer head from stucked ink(especially for canon and epson printer). do you have any info about this?? I really need it, even to buy!

I did try to clean up by hand both printers canon and epson as hard as I could, but ink still wouldn't come out as normal.

thank you and look forward to your kind inputs.

At least half of the topics on this forum deal with clogged print heads.
Why not use the 'search' facility to find what you want?

stream37 - For Canon printhead problems look through the first item in the FAQ section of this forum. For Epson printheads contact Arthur Entlich at e-printerhelp@mvps.org and ask him to email you his Epson head cleaning manual. He doesn't charge for it and does not spam or give your address to anyone else.

thank you pebe and photofreek for your kind info.

I have searched my related topics through search facility, but couldn't find what I really wanted to know :(

actually, I don't think I really need manual book to repair clogged printhead, but I rather like to know if there was products such as tool, machine, or any related hardware for sale to specially fix printhead. so any severely damaged/clogged printheads aren't thrown away! (can be reused it by refilling).

in most cases here, if support service were unable to fix printhead by cleaning up, they would suggest us to buy new printer because the price of new printhead is almost the same with new printer price :rolleyes:

you guys probably have any info on that?

thank you again for very helpful info.

I repeat - for the Epson get Arthur Entlich's manual. Costs nothing and has the best information about getting an Epson printer to work. He tells how to make cleaning cartridges from cheap household stuff if you need to use cleaning carts. He has several techniques that are very simple and really work. For Canon printers - the information is already in the thread I mentioned. It is posts of several participants' own experience. Not a concise "how to do it" manual, but you will just have to read through it and educate yourself. No need for us to repeat what is already on the forum.
