Hello,
In order to clean my printer with clogged nozzles, I would like to disassemble my Epson Stylus Color 760.
But I'm struggling, I don't know how to remove the cartridge holder with the nozzles in order to clean them.
If someone knows how to do it on an Epson printer....
Thank you

Well, it's okay, I managed to handle it myself, I succeeded in disassembling the mount with the nozzles and the print head.
I wanted to know how I could clean it, because there is a circuit board and the print head scares me to touch, it seems really fragile.
The nozzles are actually tips that go into the cartridge.
I'm afraid to put liquid on it to clean for fear it will go into the print head, which scares me. Help, how can I clean this?
Thanks
PS I can also post pictures....

Hi, did you find a solution?
Yesterday I let the buzzers and the head soak in burning alcohol, and in an hour, I'm going to inject alcohol with a needle into these buzzers.
The method is quite brutal. Isn't it better to use white spirit?

Hi,
I have an Epson Stylus 4300 Cx "multifunction", and after 2 months of being unused, I can't print with it.
The repair technicians couldn't unblock it using solvents.
Now I'm trying everything, and I'm attempting to disassemble the clogged nozzles, but I'm having trouble.
If anyone can help me remove them without damaging the printer, I would be grateful???

I don't know about you, but since my problem, I've been given another Epson and surprise, the same problem after 3 months.
I conclude that EPSON only makes disposable printers below a certain price. Luckily my old HP printer (bought 5 years ago) is still here to help me out... :-(
By the way, without wanting to be critical, but this is what I noticed, when I took my Epsons to the dump, the electronic waste bin was filled only with EPSONs and 1 Canon that must have been about 15 years old...
