Ink purging is a more gentle and non-intrusive method than flushing or printer's built-in cleaning function. The technique is commonly used when a mild clog is starting to develop. Only for HP and Canon. We do no recommend this product to be used on Epson or Brother because they have a different printhead type.  We have another product that works on Epson and Brother.

About the Files:
These files are designed to help unclog and clean printhead nozzles by purging the color ink. Nineteen complete and individual printer purge files can flush a printer and target individual channels/colors without cleaning cartridges.

  • 4 full-page files (Page)  for a deeper purge
  • 4 Single Bar files (Bar1) for quick purging with minimum stress to the printer
  • 6 Double Bar files (Bar2) for two-color purging
  • 4 Triple Bar files (Bar2) for three-color purging
  • 1 Four Bar files (Bar4) for all four colors

The files are provided with a larger zip (for Windows) as well as individual files for Mac download.

Instructions for Using Printer Purge Files to Clear Printer Blockages:

Printer purge files are a handy solution to clear blocked colors on your printer without resorting to using up excessive ink with repeated head cleaning cycles. Follow these steps to use printer purge files effectively:

1. Identify the Blocked Colors:

  • Before you begin, determine which color(s) on your printer are blocked, causing print quality issues. You can often identify this by examining a nozzle check, which may show missing colors or streaks in specific areas.

2. Download the Printer Purge Files:

  • Visit the bchtechnologies.com and download the purge files. Those files are in tif image format.

3. Prepare Your Printer:

  • Make sure your printer is powered on and properly connected to your computer. Ensure that you have sufficient paper and ink cartridges installed.

4. Select the Appropriate Purge File:

  • Choose the printer purge file that corresponds to the color(s) that need clearing. These files are typically designed to focus on individual colors or specific combinations.

5. Load the Purge File:

  • Open the purge file using your preferred image-viewing software.
  • Send the file to your printer for printing. Make sure to select the correct printer and paper settings to match the file and your printer's specifications.

6. Start Printing:

  • Initiate the printing process. The purge file will consist of solid colors or color combinations, which will help clear the blocked ink in the selected areas.

7. Observe the Results:

  • Examine the printed output for improvements in the blocked colors. The purge file should help unclog the blocked nozzles and restore print quality.

8. Repeat if Necessary:

  • If the blockage persists or if you have severe blockages (missing colors consistently), consider a combination of using purge files and a printer cleaning solution like Magic Bullet Print Head Cleaner for a more thorough cleaning.

9. Cleaning with BCH Print Head Cleaner (Optional):

10. Continue Printing:

  • Once you have successfully cleared the blockages using the purge files and, if needed, the cleaning solution, resume your regular printing tasks.

Remember that using printer purge files is a more targeted and efficient way to address specific color blockages without wasting excess ink. It's essential to use the correct purge file for the color(s) that require cleaning to maximize the effectiveness of this method.
