Does anybody know how to remove the print head for an Epson 7610/7620?

UnicornU · Apr 5, 2015

I have searched the internet but I can't find step by step instructions on how to remove this print head. I think that one of the nozzles (magenta) is clogged and I need to fix that. Any help will be much appreciated

PS: youtobe is full of videos on how to unclog/clean a print head but I just can't find one that shows how it is done for these models (practically the same just one more paper tray for the 7620)

thanks

In someway, they are all going to be roughly the same.

See if that helps. few ways how to do it without removing the head, otherwise, you're going to have to be careful and adventurous and figure out how to remove it.

Found this, and basically is says that you cannot remove a print head from an Epson printer.
Anyway, this gives pretty detailed instructions on how to clean or unclog a print head.

getochkn :

thanks for the quick reply
I have tried everything excepting leaving a paper towel under the print head for 4-8 hours which i think is just waste of time (the waiting). I think that I need that plastic pipe to attache it to my syringe but I don't know where to buy one from. (I am in Toronto). What would be a technical name for the item that I should be looking for?

It looks like I am out of luck with this, I will have to clean the print heads in place.
Damn, this is a brand new printer and I am using refillable cartridges, such a mess! You have to reinsert them a couple of times till the printer accepts them (with all the warnings and the fear mongering that Epson build into their printers!)

I wouldn't have used third-party cartridges on a brand new printer. At least would have waited until the warranty was expired.
previous poster was correct, the printhead on Epson printers is not removable without a complete strip-down.

Actually there is now a youtobe clip that shows you how to remove the head and how to clean it

I have a 7610. Using 3rd party inks you can usually print your way out of it. Look for a PDF for the color which is giving you problems (magenta) printed on a full sheet of paper. Open it in a photo program and print it several times with no color correction. I have also used third party empty carts, filled them with alcohol and a little windex and installed them in the offending color slot. Not print the full color page of the offending cart in PDF several times until nothing but cleaner comes out. This had done the trick for me. I then reinstall the original color cart back into the machine the print the color chart until all the cleaner has passed through the printhead.
