How to Pull an Epson C84 Head?
in [Printers]
|
From: Jan Alter on 5 Oct 2005 15:27 I have this practically brand new C84 that my 10 year old was given a year ago and she simply did no print with it. Of course it's got a clog and though I've replaced all 4 cartridges (with 3rd party cartridges from MSI) and run 8 cleaning cycles (at least) I get barely a whisp of anything coming through. I've now looked at the tear down manual for the C84 (as were published on http://www.eserviceinfo.com/equipment_mfg/Epson_22.html )and the instructions are to use tweezers on the right and left side of the inside of the cartridge compartment. For the life of me I don't see the points that will release the head. I've tried pulling the outside right side clip and attempted to remove the head but it seems solidly locked in. At this point I've momentarily given up to remove the head and taken a piece of white sheet, doused it in cleaning solution and placed it over the docking sponge and wiper, then rolled the head back over it. Then I've taken a syringe and pulled as much ink as I could at the nipple of each color. After this I took a 2" piece of thin plastic tubing and snugly fitted it over each nipple and filled it with cleaning solution. I'm hoping to possibly get the solution to dilute. The solution is ammoniated, though I don't know what percentage. I'll give this 12 hours to work. However, I'd really like to know how to pull the head if anyone has done it and cares to explain.

However you do need to be extremely careful not to damage the unit and the nozzles, to be honest I don't think you will gain anything by removing them. The best way would be to get a cleaning cartridge do a couple of flushes and then leave in situ over night followed by another one the next day and maybe another couple with new ink tanks. Problem is once they start to clog they will continue to clog, my experience with the C62 a new one clogged on the 2nd day, a replacement a few months later clogged on the 4th day all with Epson ink. I went and got a Canon ip5000 its about four months old and never had a clog or manual nozzle clean yet. Davy

From: Jan Alter on 5 Oct 2005 22:01 >WHY WASTE YOUR TIME... I don't consider trying to fix this printer a waste of time at all. By disassembling it I get to know how it works. By possibly fixing it I not only get to save money but put a little less strain on the waste that this society has made commonplace. It's a value system that some folks prefer compared to others. -- Jan Alter bearpuf(a)verizon.net or jalter(a)phila.k12.pa.us "measekite" <inkystinky(a)oem.com> wrote in message news:PRZ0f.4185$Zs3.127(a)newssvr25.news.prodigy.net...
