Epson SureColor P-Series Nozzle Checks and Cleanings

In this video, we show you how to run a nozzle check and head cleaning on the Epson SureColor P-Series (P6000, P7000, P8000, P9000) printers.

A nozzle check is a simple yet important part of printer maintenance. Run a nozzle check every morning if you are printing daily or if the printer has been inactive for a few days, like after a weekend.

If you notice horizontal banding (white lines) across your prints, dramatic color shifts, or blank pages being printed, run a nozzle check. The nozzle check will show you which color channels need to be cleaned.

On the P-Series, you can run a nozzle check by going to Menu-Maintenance-Nozzle Check. Once the nozzle check is printed, the printer will prompt you to inspect the pattern and if you notice any breaks, run a head cleaning on the affected channel(s). If there are no breaks in any of the color patterns, hit exit.

You can run a manual head cleaning by going to Menu-Maintenance-Head Cleaning. Start with a regular/normal cleaning as it uses less ink. Also, only run the regular cleaning on the affected channel and its color pair, to save ink. Make sure to print another nozzle check to see if the nozzles improved or not. Run no more than 3 regular cleanings followed by nozzle checks. Each additional check and cleaning provides additional benefits.

If the nozzles haven't improved after 3 regular cleanings, perform 3 power cleanings. Print a nozzle check after each cleaning. Run no more than 3 power cleanings. It's also import to run an normal cleaning after each power cleaning as it resets pressure in the ink system.

If the nozzles are still missing, you will most likely need a new printhead. Give Spectraflow a call at 415-382-8681 x2 or Epson at 888-377-6611.
