To use this product per the included instructions you need to know how to remove the printhead from your printer and how to reinstall it to be able to use it. If you don't know how to do this or are uncomfortable with that idea, then don't do it because you could completely kill your printer if you don't know what you're doing. The product instructions themselves clearly state that cleaning your printer in this manner is a final resort so believe them! However, what the instructions dont say, is that it is possible to still use this product without removing the printhead, but there are no instructions for that included with the product (which is what I did and it worked). The first thing the instructions for this product say is that you should only use it as a final resort and they advise you to use your printer's own maintenance settings first. That is correct. What the instructions fail to tell you is that there is a further interim step that can be taken to clean the printer if the self-cleaning processes don't work and before taking the last resort of removing the printhead. There are a number of YouTube videos that explain how to do this and you can use the cleaning solution from this product in that interim step. I suggest you watch how its done before trying it yourself but this is what I did and it worked without removing the printhead. These are the steps I followed to do this on my Epson WF-3540 (but recognize that they might not work exactly this way for your particular printer): 1) First, print a test page and while printing, unplug the printer. This will allow the printhead to move to the middle of the printer and should also allow you to move the printhead freely inside the printer without damaging it while unplugged. 2) Cut one of the wet cleaning wipes included in the package into a long strip approximately two-inches wide, move the printer to one side and lay the cut strip in the print corridor. 3) Move the printhead back over the strip until there is enough strip showing on each side to be able to grip it with both hands. 4) Then move the strip back and forth against the printhead in a shoe shine motion. 5) Remove the strip when it gets too soiled and repeat the process with fresh strips until youre satisfied with the result. 6) Close the cover and plug the printer back in. Wait for it to power back up and then run maintenance on the printer again. You may need to try this several times maintenance/manual cleaning/maintenance before you get the desired results. Note that you can also use paper towels that have been dampened with the cleaning solution instead of the prepackaged wipes included with the product. This process worked to clean my printer without removing the printhead. I recognize that this interim solution may not work for everyone but I include it here because its worth a try before taking a step that could potentially seal the fate of your printer. If you find the interim step doesnt work, you may be at the last resort stage anyway and have no other choice than to remove the printhead and follow the instructions that are included with the kit. I hope this helps and good luck to anyone faced with this dilemma!

Work great , helps alot thanks

I used this on a printhead that was having major issues, hoping to save it. Unfortunately it didn't work in my case however I think this kit would do a decent job of cleaning a printhead if a simple clog was the issue. In my case I believe the nozzle was just damaged already. As the kit mentions, you should try the cleaning cycles in your printer software before this. Manually cleaning a printhead is the last hope before trashing it. The included syringe "nozzle" attachments are the real selling point, to make a watertight seal so you can gently force the cleaning solution through the nozzle. The cleaning solution seemed to work well and there was just enough of it when used sparingly.

I have a few pagewide pro printers and one had bad print heads. HPs solution is a special piece of paper that costs over a hundred bucks. (Yes, a single sheet of paper that runs back and fourth against the heads for like 10 minutes). This....honestly? Probably works better than the stupid HP paper thing, at a fraction of the cost. And I still have half a bottle left, while my printer is shooting out copies as good as new again....instead of ones that look like someone tried using dried up markers.

Before reading this review. Please note that the manufacturer of this product offered a full refund. I salute them for their response. I thought I was buying the syringe and tube type of cleaner. Though it did have one syringe in the box, there were no instruction on its use and no tube. The only instructions required removing the print head to soak in the solution. None of the instruction looked like my model exactly ( an older Epson WF 2760). For how to remove print head I had to go to internet video-- required removing three part and unscrewing and unplugging connector wires on two parts. I finally got it out and soaked for prescribed time. Got the print head back in. Still did not print right. Ran 3 more regular print head cleaning rounds with printer. Still not printing right. Then it started giving me weird error codes, stuck paper over and over again ( there was no stuck paper). Then finally damaged print head. So likely I damaged it while taking it out and putting it back in. My fault there. So a cautionary tale-- get the syringe and tube kind of kit with full instructions or use a youtube video clean your print head.
