Cleaning method for printer ink cartridge blockage:
1. Clean the nozzle with a driving tool
If the printer nozzle is not blocked very seriously, it can print normally. It’s just that the printed document is inferior to the previous one (for example, the handwriting of some text is unclear or the color cast of the photo, etc.), if you don’t want to be too troublesome, you can use the utility tool that comes with the printer driver to clear it.
Cleaning the printer nozzles, in general, most inkjet printers come with a cartridge cleaning tool.
Taking the HP Deskjet 656c inkjet printer as an example, first put a piece of clean normal printing paper in the printer, then install the printer driver, the printer tool icon will appear in the system tray, enter the “Print” In the Toolbox, click the “Clean Print Cartridge” button, and then click the “Clean” button in the window that appears, and then the printer starts cleaning. After cleaning, it will automatically print a test page. If the print quality improves after cleaning, But if you are still not satisfied, you can perform more than two cleaning operations.
Using the application tool of the printer driver to clean the nozzle has the advantage of being easy and fast to operate, but the disadvantage is that the cleaning effect is not ideal. Finally, if If you are still not satisfied, you can click the “Align Print Cartridge” button in the “Print Toolbox”, then click the “Calibrate” button in the window that appears, and then start calibrating the print cartridge. The quality will be further improved.
2. Manual cleaning of the print head
There may be problems such as disconnection, white lines, and color cast during the printout, but there is still ink in the ink cartridge. If the nozzle is blocked, it needs to be cleaned manually. First remove the ink cartridge in the printer, you will find that there is a part similar to the integrated circuit at the bottom of the ink cartridge, this is where the nozzle is located, prepare some warm water at 50℃~60℃, pour the warm water into a clean and transparent cup, then Soak the nozzle at the bottom of the cartridge in water for 10~30 minutes.
It is important to note that just submerge the nozzle part in the water, do not put the entire cartridge in the water. After soaking for 10 to 30 minutes, take the ink cartridge out of the water, and shake it dry with moderate force. Some ink will be thrown out from the nozzle. Drain the ink from the nozzle of the ink cartridge with a napkin, and install the cleaned ink cartridge back. Finished, and finally use the printer to print an offline test page to compare the effect after cleaning.
Sometimes the printer is not used for a long time, and some users put the ink cartridge directly outside, which will easily cause the nozzle to be blocked, and the internal ink is also dry, and printing cannot be performed at this time, so “special” treatment is required. Prepare 95% alcohol, a clean cup, and a disposable syringe. Connect the plastic tube of the disposable infusion set to the ink supply port of the print head, place the head of the print head in alcohol with a concentration of 95%, and inhale the alcohol into the syringe needle through the print head. Print Head.
What should I do if my printer’s ink cartridges are clogged?
The method is very simple: use a disposable cup, pour half a cup of boiling water; remove the ink cartridge, and put the end with the chip into the cup (remember not to throw it in, only the chip and the boiling water surface can touch After the water is dyed, take it out; in addition, fold it into several folds with facial tissue, blot up the water on the chip, and see if there are small ink lumps on the facial paper, if not, fold it into several folds Wrap the chip with a piece of facial tissue (so as not to get on your body), shake it vigorously, and shake it a few more times until the color is thrown out, and you can put it on the machine.
If it still doesn’t work, you have to replace the ink cartridge with a new one. The ink cartridge needs to be printed frequently, and if it is not used for a long time, it is very easy to block the head.
The black ink cartridge of the printer is blocked, what should I do?
1. First, remove the ink cartridge and clean its nozzle.
2. Clean the nozzles through the computer’s print options. Generally, the effect is normal after several cleanings.
3. If the print head cannot be improved by cleaning it through the computer, clean the print head.
(1) Remove the print head and wipe it clean with cotton.
(2) Fill a small paper cup with clean water, put the nozzle in, soak it for a period of time (the time can be 8-12 hours)
(3) Then put the ink cartridge into the Continue soaking on the nozzle (2-4 hours).
(4) Then use a syringe to fill in clean water, then aim at the ink supply hole on the top of the nozzle, and slowly pour in clean water, remember to be slow. In this way, you can see how many ink discharge points on the nozzles have water to ensure smooth flow.
(5) Finally restore and print a test page, the effect is normal, if it is worse than before, the nozzle is damaged and needs to be replaced, but now the nozzle is hard to find, so please pay attention! !
What should I do if the ink cartridge is blocked?
Dye inks are relatively mature, and generally do not produce permanent plugs (unless the ink is too bad) “blocking” is only false, we generally summarize the following ten situations:
1: Dirty plugs, such plugs are generally caused by scraper failure and dirty, long-term use of inferior paper with paper flock.
2: Miscellaneous plugs, which are tiny objects in the ink that enter the nozzle and block the ink outlet.
3: Filter plug, long-term use of inferior ink, larger substances and harmful solvents in the ink will be blocked in front of the filter, and it will be blocked for a long time.
4: Dry plugs are often not used for a long period of time.
5: Chemical plugs, often using inks of different properties to cause chemical reactions, causing jelly to block the nozzles.
6: Bacterial spoilage plug: This type of plug often occurs when the temperature is above 20 degrees, and the bacteria in the ink multiply, causing the ink to spoil and degenerate, and flocculent spoilage substances appear inside the print head.
7: Scaling plugs: Due to the improper treatment of water in some ink manufacturing processes, the water is too hard, and the minerals in the water will be scaled on the nozzle after long-term use, resulting in a smaller effective diameter of the nozzle, often Start with the print having horizontal stripes.
8: Oily plugs, ink cars need lubricating oil, and sometimes the lubricating oil will spread to the nozzles, changing the physical properties of the nozzles, resulting in a phenomenon similar to plugging.
9: Electrical plug, some printer nozzles are equipped with ink or ink cartridge chip electrical performance detection, when non-standard ink or chip is detected, the ink valve will be closed to varying degrees, so that the nozzle cannot be installed. Normally through the ink, such plugs are called false plugs.
10: Gas plugging, some inks have poor defoaming performance, and bubbles will be generated in the ink. Once the bubbles enter the nozzle, it is difficult to come out, resulting in air blocking.
Understanding these ten points is relatively simple for clearing blockages.
