Ink consists of two parts:
(1) Carrier fluid (ink base) keeps ink in a liquid state.
(2) Colorant adds color to the ink.
BCH Clear Ink Base Solution is a carrier fluid which has all the exact chemical ingredients present in inks. These chemical additives control dot grain, drop formation, pH level, printhead corrosion prevention, fade resistance, and color brilliance. This ink base is "ink without color."
An ink base can be used in many ways. For example:
(1) Unclog Dried Ink from Printhead. The "Golden Rule" of inkjet printing says "when any inkjet ink dries by evaporation, the dried ink must be able to be re-dissolved by the liquid form of the same ink."* Because BCH ink base is a liquid solution of the ink, the ink base has more natural dissolving ability than water. Furthermore, the ink base has a printhead corrosion-control ingredient and is less intrusive than cleaning solution.
(2) Dilute Ink to Create Special Effects. The ink base can be used to create unique printing effects. For instance, a photo professional wants to make black and white photo prints with smooth grayscale transitions. He or she can fill the color (CMY) cartridges with 30% diluted black ink. To dilute black ink, we cannot just add water because water will change the chemical composition of the ink. Also, we cannot merely use gray ink because gray and black are different colors. The best way to do this is to use a transparent ink base.
(3) Rejuvenate Old Ink. Ink will evaporate over time, and thus lose the additives that control its chemical function. Adding some clear ink base will rejuvenate the ink and make old ink usable.

The main board works again! Prior to purchasing the main board, my Epson WF-3640 would give the 0x9a error code, which I deduced was due to a short-circuited clogged printhead, that blew out the fuse on the main board. Disassembling the printer, I had checked the main board fuse with a multimeter and sure enough, it was blown. So, I chose to buy a main board from BCH, as I was sure I could not fix the fuse itself. I also bought some new cables for the print head/main board as one of them looked burnt where it was inserted in the print head. I purchased a used printhead elsewhere, though, as BCH didn't seem to have one in stock. After installation, the printer worked again, though the used printhead--again purchased elsewhere--was clogged. I can't blame that on BCH, which is why I stress that I purchased the printhead elsewhere. Nevertheless, everything from BCH worked perfectly. It may work too perfectly, for when I initially powered up the unit without ink cartridges, I didn't get any error message saying to install cartridges. I don't know why that is. It could be just the way the WF-3640 works and I had never noticed it before, but once everything was installed, it merely said the nozzle and/or printhead was clogged and asked me to run a cleaning. All in all, I am very satisfied and would purchase from BCH again should I have the need to do so. Lastly, the YouTube videos and BCH website instructions were spot on! I had initially wired back the mainboard incorrectly but I re-watched the video and found my error before I powered up the unit. My only regret is that I accidentally may have left the "Anonymous Anonymous" review below without adding text, which I have remedied with this comment.

Dear Kevin I was very pleased about the very helpful information on your website, which I could not get from Epson Germany. The part is exactly what I need. Shipping to Germany was very fast, 10 days crossing the Atlantic from home to home, super. Thanks Dietmar
