Problem

Inkjet printers, such as Epson ET-2750, dry out quite regular. This results in a clogged printer head which shows as artificats in print outs, e.g. blurred lines.

Solution

Buy cleaning solution (alcohol based solution) and follow cleaning instructions in this video.

  1. free printer head
    1. initialize printing
    2. unplug device while head is moving
  2. remove cartridge of colors which showed artificats before
  3. slide kitchen paper underneath printer head
  4. fill up syringe with solution
  5. push it through printer head
  6. wait some minutes for it to do its job (dissolving dryed ink)
  7. cleanup, reassamble
  8. start up printer
  9. run self-clean until color is showing in prints again
  10. done
