The kit contains all the necessary tools to carry out the job including 1 x 100ml bottle of cleaning fluid,1 x
8mm, 1 x 14mm vacuum evacuation pump. All you have to provide is a shallow container, paper kitchen towel
or blotting paper.
First of all you must follow the manufactures instructions on removing the print-head. You may need help
from someone with a mechanical knowledge to remove the print-head, depending on the make and model of
your printer, (some are real easy) or you may have to buy some specialist tools I.E. Torx or Hexagonal
screwdrivers.
Find a shallow container and fill it with around 2-3mm depth of cleaning fluid, now place a piece of kitchen
towel flat in the liquid cleaner, rest the exposed print-head on the towel for 1 hour, this will help free up any
nano particles of ink and paper dust. Avoid exposing the electrical circuit to the cleaning fluid, if this should
happen dry the circuit with a low heat using a hair drier, or place in an airing cupboard overnight.
Use the small or large vacuum pump as needed, place the open end over the gauze filter of the colour causing
the blockage as illustrated, press the pump body down gently onto the silicone rubber seal by holding the lips
of the pump with your finger and thumb then gently pull upwards on the plunger this creates a vacuum and
the cleaning fluid will be forced up through the print-head nozzles using atmospheric pressure only, this is
around 14.7 psi.
When you have collected about 1 centimetre of fluid in the vacuum tube remove the pump and leave the
printhead cleaner fluid for 1 hour to do its work inside the printer nozzles this will leave the colloids of ink in a
dispersed state.
Repeat the cleaning action once more without the 1 hour wait, now dry the print-head thoroughly before
inserting the print-head back into your printer, insert your ink cartridges and do a software head clean to
purge any cleaning fluid from the print-head and ink reservoirs.
Now print 3-4 full colour prints in high resolution. If not OK do a test print using the software that came with
your printer and see which colour is causing the problems and repeat the cleaning process.
Please note: the kit is designed to clean the stubborn deposits of ink and paper dust from the printer nozzles it
can not revive broken or faulty print heads.
