Printhead Cleaning Kit for Epson, 250ml Printer Cleaning kit for HP, Print Head Cleaning Solution for Canon, Printer Head Cleaner for Brother Inkjet Printers Nozzle

Brother MFC-J475DW that had completely stopped printing BLACK... thought the print head was ruined like so many others and hated the idea of buying another $199 printer. Okay...the instructions were a bit cryptic, some of the parts were clear making them hard to see/use if you dropped them...and the instructions didn't address Brother products. Attaching the cleaning plugs to the printer was a bit difficult since the inkjet ports were so deep in the printer, and I kept a folded paper towel beneath the print head to catch cleaning fluid I was pushing through once I got it attached to the black cartridge input port. 1. Started the print head cleaning function and pulled the power on the printer to stop the head while moving accross the rail. 2. Attached the rubber nozzel to the cartridge input port. The cleaning fluid pushed through tightly at first.... got a ton of black ink out. Got easier and I was replacing the paper towels after almost every 5ml push so that it wouldn't overflow and drip into my printer's circuit boards.. 2. First 20ml went fairly slow as I was being careful. then I ran a second 20ml through the system until what was coming out on the constantly replaced (folded) paper towels was getting clearer and clearer STILL changing paper towels about every 5 ml...then no black ink coming through. 3. Let the printer sit for about 5 minutes to dry, put the cartridges back in.... printed a test page... STARTED to see black ink, printed another test page... MORE BLACK INK..... third print looked almost brand new.... Just printed a page from a website, about an hour after the cleaning and it looks like a brand new printer!!!!! THIS KIT SAVED ME over $250 by not having to buy new printer/cartridges.....a little funky to get it to work but WORKS IT DOES!!!! Saved a key resource for my ebay business!!!!! Thanks and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!

The black on my HP inkjet plotter head completely clogged plugged up (from only printing in color and not using pure black in a long time) and the print head is a $300 replacement part. I was pleasantly surprised how well this cleaner worked. The head was 100% plugged and would not pass any black ink, but after a soak in this solution and then using the syringe to pull a vacuum on that color, eventually enough solution got into the print head to begin unclogging. Once it was a little unclogged, then it was easier to get fresh solution into that color and working it back and forth until it was entirely unclogged. By the time i was out of solution, the black channel had completely opened up and the stream across the print head was uniform, straight and perfect. Now I know better than to let the black go without printing for a few months, but if it clogs up in the future I would definitely get this again

I have a Brother inkjet printer and it has a self cleaning feature (it cleans the printhead occasionally, even when the printer isn’t being used). This has worked great for more than 10 years but unfortunately, we went on vacation and the printer was unplugged for that time, and this resulted in plugged printhead. Self-cleaning wouldn’t work, so I thought I’d try a flush kit. I researched several kits, and a kit for Brother printers does not seem to be as available as other printers such as Epson or HP. This OSinkject kit mentions Brother printers in the Amazon listing, and it has good ratings so I thought I’d try it. I watched several inkjet cleaning U-Tube videos and read the instructions. The instructions didn’t mention Brother printers (the instructions mentioned other brands), but the box was labelled ‘Brother’ printers, so I supposedly had the right kit. Bottom line, I was able to get the printer working properly after about 3 or 4 hours of trying. It was all by trial and error since the instructions were too generic. I first had to find a nozzle combination that would work with the brother printer (and could fit in the tight space and slip over the printer nozzle inlets). Then I flushed, and tried the printer, it still wouldn’t work. It got ‘locked up’ with error messages and I had to research how to clear those. Even then printing was still streaky. More flushing, error codes, rebooting, waiting, etc. Finally I was able to get it to produce high quality printouts. We always like to find a step-by-step recipe for resolving issues, but in this case, there was no ready made solution, just lots of time and trial and error. If you have the patience and luck, this kit might resolve your inkjet plugged-head printer issue.

Great product very useful. Cleaned the head thoroughly. Sadly the head does need to be replaced. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Good Price. Hidden little fittings to make hose and fittings fit are tiny and should be packaged in a small bag. Not wrapped in rubber gloves. I wrote review with pictures showing hoose to small. Was mistake. I later found those to little adaptors to make it work. Good Product. Bad Packaging Who was in charge of that packaging??? REALLY???

* Worked for cleaning the printhead on our WF-7710 * Required 2-3 syringes worth of fluid per nozzle * Did not require actually removing the printhead (just use paper towel underneath the carriage/printhead * look up how to videos on YT, particularly if you have an sublimation type printer (apparently these are prone to getting clogged printheads due to the ink/adhering method) * one video suggests warming the liquid * another video suggests you might leave the rubber tube attached to the nozzle for some time (probably for the detergent to work at breaking down the build up? * BCHTechnologies on YT has a video that explains in detail why sublimation printers clog even after running the fluid through the nozzles I was still getting poor print quality. it improved after running a few test sheets but still wasn't back to 100%. I ran 2 or 3 print head cleaning cycles on the machine after this, and eventually got back to satisfactory print quality! Took about an hour overall but will probably take half that time for me in the future now that I know it will take multiple rounds of fluid and print head cleanings.

I shouldn't have fell for it. This destroyed my print head. I was being as gentle as I possibly could. Do not use this on any printer you care about.

Good product to clean a troublesome printer
