Printer "Ink Drying" (Clogged Nozzles)
4.5
The printer hasn't been used in a month, and now it prints with gaps or missing colors.
Symptoms
- Missing lines
- Faded colors
- Blank pages
Possible Causes
- Dried ink in printhead
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Run "Deep Clean"
Use the printer's maintenance menu to force ink through the nozzles.
2
Print a "Color Grid"
Forces all colors to fire, which can help clear minor clogs.
3
Manual Printhead Cleaning
Advanced: Remove the printhead and soak it in warm distilled water (use with caution).
When to See a Technician
Inkjet printers should be used at least once a week to prevent the ink from drying in the tiny nozzles.
