Inkjet Printer Maintenance, Cleaning, Repair Recommendations for Epson, Canon, Roland, Mimaki, and Mutoh Printers

Stuart M Penney of SMP Graphics - Low Humidity
 In New York we have to deal with dry heat which greatly lowers the humidity. I recommend using a humidifier to raise the humidity to about 30%. We also place a few drops of CLF 1 on the capping station every Friday. CLF 1 and CLF 007 are fantastic cleaners. This will save you a great deal of grief. Our printers work just fine for the last few years. We had tried different cleaners, but I have to warn you don't. Nothing compares to these cleaners.

Hi Scott,

I just wanted to let you know, I am running your 5 color ink set and new bulk ink cartridges in my 9800, I let the machine sit for 2 weeks, it was in a room at 60 degrees and only 25% humidity.

I ran a nozzle check before I started printing, not a single nozzle was missing, the machine was perfect! better than when I had the Epson ink in the machine!

Thanks!!!!

Giles

 

Michael Cone - Cleaning advice

A recommendation for those considering the advice provided by American Imaging Corp.


Last year, my Epson 7600 began leaving dragged smears of ink on prints. In searching for a solution to the problem, I came across the Website. After calling and explaining the problem, Scott suggested a new wiper and waste ink recovery station (not the right name, but the place where the head moves left during a cleaning). By replacing just those parts, the problem was remedied.

A few weeks ago, a new problem arose on the Epson 7600. This time, there were not smears across the print, but faint occasional drag marks. It was also becoming increasingly difficult to get a good nozzle check after cleaning, and a nozzle or two would usually drop out on a 24 x 30. The head just wouldn't clean. By speaking with Scott, is was decided that the best course of action would be to replace the capping station, the wiper, and clean around the head with Symphonic Cleaning Fluid. Additionally, I was working under a deadline, and needed the parts as soon as possible. After speaking with Scott late Thursday, the parts were shipped Friday and delivered early Saturday. 

Once more, the advice was spot on. The capping station went on easily, I cleaned around the head (very compacted with built up ink), and replaced the wiper. The printer is now producing prints as it should.

In both instances, Scott assured me that such replacement of parts was easy to do, and certainly did not require the expense of an Epson Tech. Absolutely true. The parts were installed without special tools, and in a short period of time.

Thanks to Scott at American Imaging Corp., I am fully a believer that a printer, with the proper occasional DIY maintenance, will have a long and productive lifespan.
