When it comes to your printer, few issues can be as alarming as an ink tank leak. This blog post breaks down a method to repair a leak in an Epson ET 2750 ink tank, specifically a blue color leak. The guide is designed to be easy to follow, even if you've never tackled printer repair before.

Identifying the Problem

A leaky ink tank can be a messy problem, but don't panic. First, let's identify where the leakage is coming from. In this scenario, it's the blue color tank on an Epson ET 2750. We discovered this issue after noticing an unusually high quantity of blue ink spilling out.

Disassembling the Printer

To address the problem, we start by disassembling the necessary components of the printer. Begin with the removal of the paper protective guard, followed by the paper stacker. There are two tabs on the paper stacker, one on each side. Apply pressure to these tabs, and the stacker will be released.

Next, you'll notice three screws. Remove the two on the left side and the single one on the right side. Turn the printer back to its original position and loosen (but do not remove) the screw in the middle. You will then be able to remove the screw beneath the waste tank, allowing you to take out the waste tank itself.

Further disassembly includes removing an additional screw and lifting a small box. Follow this by removing the duplexer and three screws from the left side. Take out the two screws on the right side to detach the first panel. There is a tab in the middle of this panel; pushing it in will allow you to remove the second panel.

Accessing the Ink Tank

You're making progress! To gain access to the ink tank, you'll need to release the LCD panel by unscrewing the two screws on both sides. Then, remove the ink cover. At this point, there are four screws securing the ink tanks. Since you've already removed the two back screws, only the front two need to be addressed.

Before removing the tank, you'll need to drain the remaining ink. We recommend using a 100 ml syringe plus an adapter, which you can find at BCH Technologies under the accessories section. Disconnect the tube and use the syringe to draw the ink out of the tank.

Removing the Ink Tank

With the tank empty, you can now remove it from the printer. There are two screws on each side deep within the printer that need to be taken out. If you're planning to replace the tubes, you can remove them as well. If not, leaving them in place won't hinder your progress.

Next, the front panel needs to be slightly opened. Two screws from the top need to be removed - if you've already done this during the previous steps, great! If not, do it now.

Lift up and remove what is known as the ink key, followed by a piece of paper underneath. Each tank will have one screw securing it, so locate and remove that.

If you're struggling with the back panel, remember you don't need to fully remove it; as long as you can remove the screw on the metal casing, that's sufficient. Proceed to remove the metal casing, push the tank forward, and then remove it vertically.

Analyzing the Ink Tank

Now that you have the ink tank out, you can determine the issue. In this case, we noticed a broken tab on the tank's bottom. This is likely where the ink is leaking from. If you observe a similar break or damage, a replacement tank is probably in order.

Replacing the Ink Tank

To replace your faulty ink tank, visit BCH Technologies and search for your printer model. In our example, we sought an ink tank for the Epson EcoTank ET2750. These replacement tanks come with ink already in them, saving you an extra step.

Position the new tank correctly within your printer, following the removal steps in reverse. Make sure to secure the tank with the previously removed screws.

After everything is in place, test your printer to confirm that the leak has been resolved. If you followed the steps correctly, your printer should be back in top shape and ready to produce excellent prints.
