Hey I have had my printer for 6 years and have had the same problem. I had to manually clean it and It saved me a chunck of change. I mixed equal amounts of amonia, acohol and windex in a bottle then I set my printer on replacing the blades. Once it was positioned I turned it off and removed the plastice cover over the ink tubes. With gloves I unscrewed each color from the top. The ink will run back into the tanks but dont worry. be careful not to loose the small rubber seals inside these tubes.Place a paper towel folded under the ink heads where the paper is printed on. I had a small insulin syringer that I put fluid in and I gently pushed fluid into each ink hole. I did this several times before I got the inks to flow onto the towel and I let it sit for 20 minutes or so. I then screwed all the tubes back on each color. I removed the paper towel , restarted my printer and ran a full power cleaning. Dont be concerned like I was about the ink wasted because remember your inks flowed back into the tanks when the suction was broken. You must do the power cleaning to force the air out of the chambers and you waste very little. My printer runs like a champ the first print was awesome. It takes about 45 minutes so be patient and careful.
Here is what you will need:
Paper Towels sm phillip screwdrive
Rubber Gloves small syringe
Solution /acohol-amonia-windex
A lot of Patience

If your printouts are unexpectedly light, or dots or lines are missing, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.53 views
