Uncover the Solution for Blank Prints on Epson 2720 Printers

Question:
Hi Kevin, I love your videos; they explain everything so well. I have an Epson 2720, which prints nothing on paper, though I've done everything you've shown in these videos. Should I replace the printhead, do you think? If so, where can I buy it, and how do I install it? I want to avoid investing in a new printer for sublimation. I need help.


Answer:
Start with Printhead Cleaning
You can test this by firing a printhead cleaning cycle and seeing if the ink passes into the waste tank.

  • If no ink comes out, that may indicate the printhead is not clogged up, which is a good thing as it could point to a different issue.
  • But if the printout is still completely blank, check for any hint of color. This can help discern whether the printhead is wholly dead.
Inspect the Mainboard Fuses
In printers like the Epson 2720, the blown fuse on the mainboard is a common issue. Specifically:
  • You may check the F1 fuse or look at the F301 fuse.
  • Test for continuity using a multimeter. A blown fuse needs to be replaced for the printhead to receive power.
Replace the Printhead
If cleaning the printhead and checking the fuses don't solve the problem, replacing the printhead is the next step. Reinstalling the printhead is not easy, but it is one of the options you can explore instead of replacing your entire printer.
  • Where to Buy: We suggest getting a compatible printhead from a trusted supplier. BCH Technologies sells printer parts; you can check them out through its website (https://bchtechnologies.com/).
  • How to Install: We've discussed replacing the printhead in our YouTube videos (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies). We provide step-by-step tutorials on our channel, which can be found by searching for Epson printhead replacement.
Other Potential Causes
  • Make sure the ink cartridges are secure and not expired.
  • Check the printer's firmware and reset it if needed. Void prints can sometimes result from firmware problems .
Printer troubleshooting isn't straightforward because it's a very hands-on job. As a result, we cannot offer remote troubleshooting or repair assistance." We provide in-person evaluations and repairs at our local diagnostic facility (https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service ). However, we receive a lot of printers each day and first come, first serve for assessments, so we may not have an answer for your printer for a few weeks.
The tools we need are whole printers or just parts, and you get a precise explanation of how to proceed. We offer premium-quality services , but know that our rates may not be the best for everyone. If you want to troubleshoot your issues yourself, check our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies) and search for specific videos regarding your problem. YouTube's suggestions might also lead you to valuable resources from other creators.
Thanks again for contacting us. I hope this helps you get your Epson 2720 to produce prints typically! If you have more questions, please reach out.
