Cleaning the HP printer heads: how do I do itCleaning the printhead is a fundamental operation that, if carried out in an optimal way, is able to offer the opportunity to have a print quality that far exceeds all one's expectations.
It will, therefore, be necessary to try to understand when this operation must be carried out and above all to understand how the aforementioned must be carried out.
Here is all the information that is useful for carrying out this particular operation, so that the aforementioned can be carried out in an optimal manner and perfect final results can be obtained.
When to clean the HP printer head
First of all, it is necessary to understand when it is necessary to carry out the cleaning of the head of the HP printer, in order to avoid carrying out this type of operation inappropriately, that is, when the same are clean, going to touch a part of the same printer that does not require any particular maintenance operations.
There are several signs that allow you to understand that this operation is fundamental and one of these is represented by the missing print points: when a sheet is not correctly printed, in fact, it means that the head is not completely clean and therefore you must necessarily try to make prompt intervention so that this problem can be completely resolved.
Another signal is the too much intensity of a color, which could be dictated by the dirt that makes that shade unpleasant to see.
Therefore it is necessary to take into consideration all these particular signals so that it is possible to be able to carry out a correct intervention capable of responding optimally to all your needs.
Clean the head using the HP program
Assuming that this operation requires a lot of ink and above all several sheets of paper, it is necessary to carry out a first cleaning operation which can be defined as automatic, since it will not intervene manually on the printer itself, leaving it to operate almost autonomously, and offers the opportunity to achieve a top-quality final result without touching the head.
In this case, we are talking about the Utility function, which can be used by going to the HP screen and selecting the maintenance item.
In this page it will be possible to access the Maintenance item, which must be selected: using this option it will be possible to start the printer roller, which will try to automatically clean the head making the ink return liquid, which will stop being dry given the quantities that are delivered by the printer.
Thanks to this set of operations, the printer should return to having a perfect head and offer the possibility of acting correctly, without any type of hitch or block of any kind.
Obviously, if the sheets that are printed are displayed incorrectly, it will be necessary to intervene in another way to carry out the cleaning of the same head.
Cleaning with the Cancel function
Some HP printer models have a feature that can be defined as manual and that allows for proper head cleaning. In this case, simply press the Cancel button on the printer twice, which will process this type of operation as a cleaning procedure.
In this case, the printer roller will start to deliver more ink than the previous one, printing different types of test sheets and showing the result of the operation.
This procedure could be more or less long and must be repeated several times until an optimal final result is obtained, i.e. a sheet that is printed correctly without even a smudge.
Manual cleaning of the printer head
In the event that this type of operation is not optimal, or does not produce at all the final result that is hoped to be achieved, it will be necessary to proceed manually with the disassembly of the printer head itself.
This must be removed very gently so that it can be subjected to a wash with running water at about 50 degrees so that dust and ink deposits can be permanently removed.
For more thorough cleaning, it is also possible to proceed in detail, which is to create a solution based on hot water and degreaser, in which the head of the HP printer cartridge must be immersed.
Thanks to the action of the product it will be possible to completely remove all the different incrustations that can represent a real obstacle for the printing itself.
Obviously it is necessary to highlight the fact that this procedure must be carried out at different times after carrying out a print test.
Only when the printer works correctly, or there are no imperfections in the final result achieved, will it be possible to stop the washing.
So here's what to do to thoroughly clean the HP printer head.
