This is an extra nozzle cleaning kit I purchased for my printer.  It worked great.  I sold the printer so do not need these anymore.  If it does not work, just let me know and I'll fully refund you, including shipping.  I'll also pay for the return shipping fees.

Information from the manufacturer:

If your Epson inkjet printer won't print right and you know you've got working cartridges, your nozzles and print head are most likely clogged (or getting that way). You can easily fix that by using the newly developed Ink USA Nozzle Cleaning System. (Kit will come with white sponges instead of blue sponges.)

Signs of a 'clogged' print head:

     
  • White lines occur when printing documents or pictures.
    •  
  • Indistinctness or broken lines occur in the nozzle check pattern.
    •  
  • Ink just doesn't come out during printing.
    •  
  • Printer is used again after a long period of non-use.
    •  
  • Having to perform a 'print head cleaning cycle' more often than the usual one or two times!

Example of partially clogged print head:
 

How does this happen?

Epson printers have a high printing resolution (D.P.I. - dots per inch), this means that the print head nozzles have to be manufactured much smaller than some of the other printer manufacturers' nozzles. The size of the actual nozzle hole is much smaller than the human hair and it does not take very much for them to clog. Epson printers are prone to having ink dry in the print head nozzles causing streaking and void areas and over time, rendering the printer useless. Just running the print head cleaning cycle is NOT enough!

Other common causes for head clogging are from infrequent use and not turning your printer off properly between uses.

Note: The Ink USA Nozzle Cleaning System will only resolve print quality issues due to clogged nozzles and not to mechanical problems such as faulty rollers or inefficient cleaning cycles.
