This product cleared the print heads of my Canon Pixma IP6150. I just wish I had bought it sooner because repeated printing and purging while one of the nozzles was blocked must have damaged the print circuitry resulting in it no longer firing ink on that colour channel. Also beware every time you run the printer's own cleaning system it just dumps ink into the bowels of your printer instead of having a waste tank that can be emptied. My conclusion to all this is when you buy a printer also buy this type of unblocker at the same time and consider using it on the print head if you've not used the printer for a while. It's cheaper than having to buy a new printer when the head gets clogged.

There were problems with the instructions ,on my epson getting the collecting pad underneath the print head was impossible but was solved by change in the method now very easy . I Was unable to recharge the print head no matter where i looked for instructions .,however i solved this the easy way I used the un blocker syringe and tube with printer ink using the same amount of ink as the un blocker fluid . now all works fine . EPSON SX235W 20years old . While involved in this found a whole new way easy and better for re filling cartridges

The cleaning fluid does flush the ink pads ok BUT On epson printers I've discovered there is a software counter device that limits the number of operations the printer carries out using the nozzles. It's a sort of built in obsolete device that comes up with the message ink pads at the end of service life.there is a fix for this but only for windows pc's not Apple Mac. The printer will not operate if you do not reset the counter even if the ink pads are perfect and the nozzles unblocked. The adaptors supplied with the kit would not fit my printer which is an Epson xp-605 but to be fair the supplier did not list this particular printer in his specifications. I'm a bit disappointed with Epson for building in an obsoletion software device with the obvious intent to get you to buy a new printer.Read full review

I bought this to clear a print head on an Epson printer, I decided to remove the print head first so I could get to the ink ports easily, it cleared the blockage I had on the black easily enough but the yellow would not clear no matter how many times I went through the process, I even left the seringe with fluid attached for 4 days but it did not clear or soften the blockage. I eventually gave up and the printer is going to the recycling center the next time I go. 😞

Does the job, I think. Takes patience which doesn't come with the kit. Suggest to get one of these and use before inserting new ink cartridges when the ink has run dry for a while. One could presumably get the component parts more cheaply than the price offered, but it's nice and convenient to just have everything there.
