Cleaned my inkjet printer that had been sitting for 3 years. I took out the heads, put some solution in the surynge and forced it through the ports so ink would come out. Then the surynge went in the attachments on the head carrier and I sprayed some solution int the pipes and tucked some ink out with the vaccume of the surynge. Worked great. I ran a few papers through the printer and my printer functions again and the print quality is awesome. Well worth spending a little money to save a $250 or so printer.

It was a bit difficult to figure out access to my inkhead, even after watching their video, but that's not their fault. I have ten minutes of intense fear after I did the cleaning, because I'd paused overnight and didn't notice there was still a sheet of paper in there. Teasing out all the soggy bits used up my quota of luck this month, so RTFM TWICE and doublecheck yourself. Assembling the syringe from random bits and forcing the silicon tube onto the ink stub was not easy. Good fingers, a hemostat or fine plier, and bright light are needed. Not easy. Not fun. But once I got it all done (and undid my paper jam mess) the printer fired up. Didn't tell me one color was out (as opposed to still clogged) but once I found that, eureka! The damn thing is printing again. I used two full syringes, after 6 "head cleanings" still hadn't purged the black, fwiw. I think the full kit would give you one full cleaning, 1x on all four colors. But for me, the black cart is the devil incarnate. If I don't print for three weeks...goodbye. Bottom line? This worked as claimed. Saved me from buying a new printer!

Nice cleaning set that was exactly as described. It worked well but did not fix my printer problem.

Product works fine, but the instructions are WEAK! 1. The attachments fit, albeit tightly, so use hot water to soften the hose to attach it to the syringe. 2. The instructions show working on the print head while it's still in the printer. I don't know how one would do that successfully. Look up how to remove the print head from your machine. I have a Canon, so the process is relatively straight forward. I don't know how to do that on other brands of printers, but look online at you tube for how to do it. 3. If you aren't comfortable with the minor disassembly of removing the print head, then maybe you should take your printer to a shop for service.

Very easy to use and very effective! Simplified directions for an effective cleaning: 1. Go into your printer menu and have it start a print nozzle cleaning. Be ready to disconnect the power immediately after it starts. 2. Unplug the power once the nozzle cleaning begins. This is important, it stops the printer head from moving and keeps it in an unlocked position. 3. While the printer head is unlocked and the power is turned off, remove your secondary printer cartridges (if equipped) from the movable printhead. Mark each one to help remember the order they go in! 4. With the secondary cartridges removed, you should see 4 little nipples/ports corresponding to each color cartridge. 5. Grab a few paper towels and fold each one 3 times, lengthwise. Place 1 folded paper towel into the tray beneath the printhead assembly to help absorb the mess that is about to come out from it. 5. Use the cleaning kit with the hose/tube FIRMLY attached to the syringe and fill the syringe with the cleaning solution. 6. FIRMLY attach the other end of the hose/tube from the syringe to the nipple/port on your printer and begin applying pressure to the syringe plunger to eject the cleaning solution into the port. Once the syringe is empty, carefully disconnect the hose/tube from the print nipple/port and dab it clean on a paper towel. Now you can refill the syringe and repeat the procedure on the same port to ensure it is cleaned. 7. After the second flushing, slide the printhead over to remove the paper towel beneath it. (It is going to be a soggy mess.) Take your second paper towel to replace the one you just extracted. 8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 (and 7 if necessary). 9. Once you have cleaned all of the ports, dab up any spillage from the bottom of the printhead before you reinstall the secondary cartridges and remove the paper towel from beneath the print head. 10. Reinstall the secondary printheads making sure they go back in the correct order or your prints will come out discolored and odd looking. 11. Run 2 or 3 print head tests on fresh paper to verify the printer is working correctly. It may take 2 (in my case 3) times for this test to complete properly with freshly cleaned ports because it needs to flush out the residual cleaning solution from the ports. 12. Enjoy your Like New printer!

The solution worked. That’s the good news. But buying the kit was worthless. None of the incidental tools included with the syringe (tube and end pieces) fit the enclosed syringe. I used a diabetic syringe I had at home to inject the solution into the printer since I needed something that I could hold at a 90 degree angle.

Compatible with my Epson MF-3720. Black was really gummed up and not working. It took a few times of forceing the fluid through with the syringe, at first just back flushing until it let go and statred flowing through. Ran a test sheet, good again! I cleaned all 4 just for good measure. All the fittings, the extra fluid I have for next time. All a bonus, making this well worth every penny. Easy to use, instructions included. Got rid of my clog.

I installed a brand-new ink cartridge into my printer that I use regularly. For some reason this black ink did not want to print, and I ended up printing blank pages. So, after numerous unsuccessful print head nozzle cleanings and test pages, I bought this cleaning kit. This cleaning kit almost destroyed my printer! First of all, one of the L-shaped pieces was missing from the kit. I'm not sure if they were the same or different sizes. The directions were very vague. They didn't explain what the other nozzle was even for. Was it an extra nozzle for the bottle? Why was it needed? The directions show a broken print pattern to identify which colors need to be cleaned. If your printer looks like this, do a print head cleaning through your printer or print an ink purge page first. Only use this liquid cleaning solution as your last resort, when you continuously get broken lines after numerous print head cleanings and a couple of purge pages. The directions state to "inhale" 4-5ml of cleaning solution into the syringe. But, they only want you to inject 1ml into the ink inlet that needs to be cleaned. That isn't enough to flush out the line, so you're left with cleaning solution and now diluted ink in the tubing. Other online videos using liquid cleaning solutions say to use 4-6ml per color to flush out the lines. And, you should probably wait at least 24 hours before attempting to print anything. Of course, the lines are going to be full of clear cleaning fluid, so it will take some time before ink flows through the tubes again. So, it's no surprise that people complain that they print out blank pages after using this cleaning solution. That's exactly what happened to me! But, the directions show a perfectly printed test pattern right after injecting the solution. BTW, the QR code at the bottom of the instruction manual is the same manual but in digital form. The yellow rubber piece did not fit into the ink inlet of my Brother MFC-J6925DW printer very well. I had to hold it on using needle-nose pliers. The directions don't clearly explain that you must remove the syringe as you're pushing in otherwise, when you remove the apparatus ink will get sucked back into the syringe so you must flush it out before using it for another color. Also, if you allow ink to get sucked back into the syringe, ink is going to spill out of where you attached the rubber piece to the inlet, leaving a mess. This happened to me multiple times. The directions have you wait an hour, then print a test pattern. If that doesn't work, then try again 2-3 more times. If that doesn't work, wait and try again the next day. Why? Instead of trying 2-3 times and wasting 2-3 hours, just flush each clogged line slowly with 4-5ml of fluid to completely flush out the line. Then, wait to do a test print 24 hours later. Otherwise, you’re going to get air bubbles in the tubing. Instead of just flushing out the clogged black tubing, I ended up flushing out the tubing for all the colors, too. Big mistake. I printed numerous blank pages. This whole ordeal wasted several hours. I did some research so I didn’t have to trash my expensive printer. I searched my printer model number and “printhead purge.” I found a YT video describing how to go into a special setting on my brother MFC printer to purge the ink better than the original default settings. You can manually do it per ink color. Low and behold it worked, but it wasted a lot of ink. At least 3 days later I was able to salvage my printer, no thanks to this cleaning solution and the vague instructions. My advice is to use this at your own risk and only if absolutely necessary to clear a blocked ink cartridge. Do some research online and watch videos of people using similar cleaning solutions.
