Universal printhead Cleaner 17oz

First, the product works! Due to the uniqueness of individual printer models, it can be a little challenging. For example, my Brother MFC-J6945DW has a set of nozzles that are hidden behind the black cartridge. This is where you inject the cleaning fluid as opposed to utilizing each ink cartridge nozzle.Here is what I really want to share. Late in the day, I called the support number outside of their operating hours. I didn't leave a message as I figured I would just call back the next day. A few minute later, Andrew called my mobile, introduced himself, and asked how he could help. It was 9:00 PM his time. He walked me through the special methodology required for my printer, and offered helpful techniques along the way.Do you remember when Amazon was new and sellers paid attention to the individual customer? I do. Printhead Hospital is that group. Amazon would do well to recognize this level of service amongst their seller community.

This stuff works perfectly. My printer is working 100% again, just like new. And I'm even using knockoff ink from GPC that I bought for ~$20 from Amazon vs the $80+ HP wants me to pay. Plus the GPC ink gives you 2X the cartridges so twice the fun (altho I've read it doesn't last as long as promised - who cares).I went through 5 syringes of Hospital fluid to clean my print head. Why? Because I have not used my printer in 3 years and it was filthy. The ink does not stick to a stainless steel sink so clean up was super easy.I watched a youtube video regarding cleaning the HP Photosmart 7520 printer by "Best Printers" and he recommended using Isopropyl 91% alcohol spray, which I also bought from Amazon. This 2nd product really helped the cleaning process. It is cheap and virtually required.This product has a great website printheadhospital dot com where you can watch videos on how to use the product. IE you want to put the syringe of Hospital fluid in hot water for 1 minute to activate the ingredients to their full cleaning potential.Warning: wear eye glasses because if one of your heads is full of dried ink, then fluid will shoot backwards and into your face. That happened to me and thankfully I was wearing readers.Buy from Amazon as it has same pricing but S&H is free.

Unfortunately, this didn't work for my Canon ix6820 printer. I have a damaged printhead. I've used ix6520 over the last 10 years and previously purchased the Canon printhead prototypes attachments when they were made from a metal of some kind back in 2012 from printhead hospital, emailed them directly actually. I no longer have them (as I switched to a laser printer temporarily). Purchased these off Amazon from the same seller, but sadly what was a quick easy fix on my ix6520, was nothing but on my ix6820. Certainly not the fault of this product, it's amazing. My printer of a year just is a pain and after only 1 print, will not print the light colors in the CYMK spectrum. And will only print standard in all colors, and nothing in high. But I've had great success with this product in the past.

The printhead cleaner kit works "ok". I have a Canon Pro-10, and the kit comes with the adapter needed to fit the head of the nozzle. However, there is no seal provided with the fit and the solution simply sprays everywhere making a mess. I did make a gasket out of a piece of flat rubber and placed into the base of the adapter. While it is not perfect at least some of the solution is going into the printhead to attempt to clear the clogging. At this time my printhead is still clogged. I do not fault the kit on its inability to clear the head, I will need a more aggressive approach. I think the manufacturer could make their product much better with the addition of a sealing gasket to fit into the supplied adapters. My two cents worth

(I'M INCLUDING A PICTURE OF THE TYPE OF PRINTER I HAVE TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PRINTER - This picture is from Canon's actual product website.)Hello there!I have a Canon TS9020 printer and it's an okay little printer, however, when I was rearranging my room... I unplugged my printer and it was unplugged for a while.Printer companies make it so if your printer is not on constantly connected to power.... Your ink will end up drying up and you won't be able to print properly. In most cases.... You'll either have to swap out a whole print head (and some printer manufacturers make it 100% impossible to swap out print heads by making them built into the printer.....) or throw the printer away and get a new one.... BUT WHY???? My printer is perfectly fine except for the fact that it won't print right!!!!When used correctly.... This product truly does work!!!The key is to make sure that it's warm enough to really get the printer head unclogged. Luke warm works but I make mine really warm (not scalding hot, but I imagine if you know what you are doing and are not a complete idiot you'd be able to get even better results with the temperature being hot rather than warm. But if you are not experienced... Don't use hot solution only stick to solution that is warm to the touch!!!)I personally do not use the blotting papers.... I use paper towels.IF you're going to use paper towels.... Please use the good kind like Bounty or Viva as you don't want the paper towels ripping and leaving anything inside the printer.... Plus they retain more water! (I learned the hard way, learn from my mistake!)I absolutely cannot recommend this product enough!!!!!!I'm running out soon... Gonna be buying more..... So far I've cleaned my printer head 4 times.... Works great as a print head tune up (but uses a lot of ink to do the tune up so be careful.)
