There is a spongey patch the print head goes to sit in when not in use. I moved the print head out of the way while it was off (sometimes you have to power it off forcefully to prevent it from locking in place) and filled it to the edge with this once a day. The first day nothing happened. What did I have to lose as I'd lost a previous printer to clogged heads before, so I did it again and the second day it was printing a little black once again. Third day some more, and fourth day it was good as new.
There are a couple methods in the instructions like filling an empty cartridge with the product.

This product worked great, completely solving my clogged printhead problem. It saved me from buying a new printer! I went to a local aquarium store a bought 26 cents worth of plastic hose and used that to hook the syringe to my printheads and pushed the cleaning fluid through each of the print heads just like a video I saw on youtube.Best Deals for Printhead Cleaner, Original Print Head Clog Buster / 4 oz. bottle.
I did not use my Epson WF-3540 for a month. When I returned and resumed working with it, the YELLOW and CYAN did not print. I used the built-in Head Cleaner (Setup>Maintenance>Head Cleaning) and the yellow resumed to about 50%, but the cyan only printed a couple dots. After using the built-in Head Cleaner numerous times with no further benefit (and even changing the color cartridges with no benefit), I purchased a 4-ounce bottle of PRINT HEAD CLOG BUSTER. The man I spoke to was friendly and knowledgeable and even emailed directions to me. The product came quickly and with everything necessary. It was easy to use -just a few drops on the resting pad, let soak, run the head cleaner, and test print. The first time I tried this, I let it sit overnight. In the morning, all of the yellow and most of the cyan was printing again. I soaked the resting pad a second time letting it sit over the weekend. Come Monday morning all colors were printing beautifully again. I am sure the problem was caused by my month-long absence which allowed the ink in the heads to dry up. I would hate for anyone to have the same issue and think the printer was ruined. This was a quick and inexpensive DIY fix that required no technical expertise.Honest reviews on Printhead Cleaner, Original Print Head Clog Buster / 4 oz. bottle.
My Epson Stylus 1400 Photo printer had been sitting for more than two years. When I tried to use it, it only printed very lightly in a sort of pink color. Even trying to print just black didn't work. I tried the head cleaning cycle, but it didn't help. Following the directions for the Original Print Head Clog Buster, I placed the few drops on the printer's cleaning pad and waited 12 hours. I placed a few more drops and waited again. I ran the printer through the head cleaning cycle a couple of times and it started working like new. I printed about twenty photos and they all look great.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Printhead Cleaner, Original Print Head Clog Buster / 4 oz. bottle.
My dad gave me an expensive Epson printer that he didn't need anymore, and that he had not used in years. I bought $60 worth of ink only to find that no black ink reached the page. After much research, I bought this product skeptically, but I had already invested $60 in this printer.It took a lot of patience and repetition, but in the end, this stuff completely cleared the clog. The printer works perfectly now. Although this seems to be homemade product, don't let that fool you. It works as advertised.
