As I washed from the "diaper" ink on Epson XP-103 printer

a printer Epson XP-103 is approximately 7 years. I have it third after Canon 1500 and some HP, like 1220 - all inkjets. But as they say, "how much thread is twisted not, and the end ...", well, then you know. He has repeatedly put off washing "Diaper" - such a thing, which brings together merges printer ink - everything seemed to be a dirty business and Morochno. But he managed just 30 minutes.

This method is applicable to many other models Epson line "HP " as well as to Series "L" - from L100 to L555 .

Look what came before

This thing has overflowed Bench that the ink started to flow through the collector on the table top directly under the printer. Several times even puts a napkin, which was enough for 2-3 months, and then he thought of me again. But the last time already gone over the edge - when the printer is lifted saw this.

This napkin and she was white, long time. It's amazing how this mixture before the curtains are not pulled! First, the ink wiped dry wipes, Then dotor old damp sponge. Otmylos all without consequences.

To get to the absorber, rear printer turned to him and set on the edge of the table, so that you can reach the bottom.

You see, the bottom was a trace of adhering tissue. In order to pull a container of absorbent inserts first I had to unscrew only one screw. Then, with one hand holding the bottom, the other right under the screw from the bottom pulled the tab, it looks like spin. And plastmaska ​​fell.

Top are clearly visible all the absorbent inserts, their 6 items - different sizes and shapes. They are easily pulled out independently of each other. I pulled them in the kitchen sink, where the soaps.

Although the water-soluble ink, in "diapers" are, surprisingly, not dry, so once it is full.

To remember which is which insert was, I laid them in order and took a picture, and then moved on to washing. Oh, and the water flowed! With polkuba, probably. Washed carefully and continuously for 20 minutes and for good reason. We cleaned up almost perfectly, what you can see for yourself. absorber material in the washing is not spreading, so it is not difficult to wash, just need patience and rubber gloves.

Now we have to to dry for a couple of hours of sun and everything can be put in place. With washing sort out, but it is only part of the story, but not yet to check whether the withered printhead. And if so, I will write about it procleaning later.
