Can I use alcohol to clean my printheads?
Yes of course, but only use
Isopropyl alcohol to clean printheads. If your printheads is dirty or clogged,
then it will show HP Printer Not Printing
error. In order to terminate this error, you need to clean your printheads with
alcohol. Please make sure to use the alcohol when cleaning and removing the
blocked nozzles are required. Since, alcohol is corrosive and using alcohol to
clean electrical contacts will surely damage the wire. So, always remember to
use alcohol when it is most necessary.
HP Printers problems such as
faint, blurry, dots, missing, stains and many other print issues, you may find
is only due to the dirty cartridge printer head. The most common explanation
for this is clogged or stained nozzles which have an effect on the distribution
of ink or toner to the paper.
What do you do when your HP printer
starts giving flawed prints? When there is no ink on the print at all? What we
actually do is get a new ink cartridge. We don’t even consider the fact that
there is still ink in the cartridge and the real culprit is a blocked printer
head.
However, if you don’t know how
the printer head cleaning process worked, then you won’t be able to deal with
the clogged or blocked printer head issue. By cleaning printer head you not
only deal with the blocked printer head but also save money.
So, here are the ways to clean dirty printheads with isopropyl alcohol.
Dry ink can be very persistent
and extremely difficult to deal with. This is particularly true in the case of
blocked printheads because the space where the ink dries is extremely fragile
in nature. Most ink cartridges consists sponge for delivery of ink. This sponge
is very fragile and vulnerable to substances. For example, if you’re not
careful about the substances in which it comes in contact with, it will
dissolve very quickly. So, when ink dries up inside this sponge, it will become
a challenge to clear blocked printer head issue.
This sponge can only be cleaned
with only one liquid other than water and this liquid is isopropyl alcohol. This
alcohol is strong enough to dissolve the ink inside the blocked printheads.
Even isopropyl alcohol cannot be used freely; a dropper or syringe is
recommended to use it softly and carefully.
You can take either dropper or a
syringe to clean printheads. Simply fill your chosen tool with isopropyl
alcohol and spray it into the sponge side of the ink cartridge. Make sure to
use enough alcohol into the blocked printheads otherwise it won’t be able to
dissolve the dried up ink.
So, that’s how you can use
alcohol to clean your dirty printheads and can resolve HP Printer Not Printing
issue. If you need assistance in doing so, you can also take HP Printer Support at anytime.
