What’s the Best Head Cleaning Solution for Epson DTF Printers?

Question:

I’m looking for a strong head cleaning fluid that works with Epson printers using DTF ink. Do you sell this type of solution? I think I saw a blue cleaning fluid on your site before, but I can’t find it now.

Answer:

Yes, we do offer a specialized DTF head cleaning solution. It is designed specifically for use with Epson printheads running DTF ink. You can find this product by going to our website, bchtechnologies.com [https://bchtechnologies.com], and entering the term “DTF cleaning” in the search bar. This will bring up all our related products, including our strong cleaning solutions. The blue cleaning fluid you mentioned is indeed one of our stronger head cleaning agents, engineered for breaking down DTF ink residues effectively without damaging the sensitive internal components of your Epson printhead.

We offer different strengths of cleaning solutions:

  • Standard DTF Head Cleaner: Good for routine maintenance and preventive cleaning.

  • Strong/Powerful Head Cleaner: Better suited for heavily clogged nozzles or dried-up ink that’s difficult to flush out.

Our cleaning fluids are compatible with most Epson printers used for DTF conversions, such as the L1800, ET-8550, 1390, and others. They can be used with cleaning syringes or in conjunction with an ultrasonic cleaner or ink flush system, depending on the extent of the clog.

Please note: Always remove the ink cartridges and perform cleaning with the printer powered off. Improper handling during the cleaning process can cause permanent damage.

If you’re unsure about which solution best fits your situation, don’t hesitate to reach out through our website’s contact page or search our channel for cleaning tutorial videos.

Addressing printer issues can be a complicated affair due to the hands-on nature of the problems. So, we're not able to provide remote troubleshooting, suggestions, or support for printer repairs. We offer an in-person evaluation and repair service via our local diagnostic facility [https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service]. Given the high demand, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis. So, it might take a few weeks before we can get your printer to drop it off. Our services are structured to repair either a whole printer or specific parts, with clear instructions on how to proceed. However, we acknowledge that our rates aren't the most economical. Thus, we highly recommend that you resort to self-help via online research. You can start by checking out YouTube or visiting our YouTube channel's homepage [https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies]. Look for specific videos using the search icon next to "About" on the right-hand side of the menu bar. I receive dozens of queries every day asking about videos for specific topics. Having created videos over the past nine years, it's challenging to remember every single one. Therefore, using YouTube's search function would be most efficient. Plus, YouTube might suggest relevant videos from other channels that could assist you.
