I have problem with cleaning my Epson 7890. Both normal cleaning and power cleaning gives a test print result that is not good. The pattern shows missing segments. I have also tried to clean my Epson as it is shown in the video on youtube. But the missing segments are still there!
What to do?
Sorry for my english!
This is a thing that happens on the 9900 . . . The reason why I know this is a blown head is because all the middle sections are missing and also slightly bent to the right.
We try to tell people to call us or email us before getting a flush kit (for this printer model specifically) because often it’s not just a clog but a delimitation of the head surface. It is not recoverable sadly.
I’m back having another question regarding to the problem with the print head.
What does it really mean that the printhead is blown. I don’t find a Swedish word for it. Clog I can understand.
Ok then I understand. I found the print head from a company. But I’m not quite sure what you mean with cleaning assembly. Do you have a product name for it.
Can I ask you again about the cleaning assembly you suggested I would buy with the print head.
Cleaning assembly is that the same as Cleaner Head spare part?
I have a 7890 with the same problem where the cyan and LLK have middle segments missing. From what I read here, this means a non-fixable issue and a new head needs to be replace. If this is correct, can the printer be turned into a six color B&W piezophoto unit like the video suggest? Does your program direct the inks into specific working channels?
Thanks Walker, Here’s my nozzle check. You previously mentioned that the slant is also indicative of a bad head. Is this what you see here? Also, it may be a moot point as you mentioned seven colors and I only have six usable channels…
This one is a 7890 for larger prints that I would turn to Piezo. I have two 4880 and will turn one of them for smaller prints. So the slant is not an issue then. Thanks for the great info!
