JR Inkjet - Inventors of The Worlds First Universal Inkjet Refill Kit
Cleaning Print Heads
Over time or if left idle for long periods, the print heads on your printer can become clogged with dried ink - this affects the quality of your printing and can render the printer almost useless. Cleaning your print heads could save you having to replace your printer.
JR Inkjet Flush is a cleaning solution for print heads. It can be used on cartridges with integral print heads or print heads located in the printer. Cartridge SAVE have 60ml Flush available as well as bulk 250ml Flush
Some cartridges have print heads built into the cartridges, while others have the print heads as part of the printer itself. We have provided instructions for both types.
Epson users:
Some Epson printers such as the Stylus Colour 680, C50, C60 etc are fitted with 'Intellidge' chips which do not allow a refilled cartridge to be used once the chip thinks the cartridge is empty. If you are going to be filling a cartridge with flush for one of these printers, a JR Inkjet Zap-It is required to reset the chip and allow it to function again.

Cartridges with print heads (i.e. HP, Lexmark)
- Before refilling your cartridge, pour a small amount of flush into a shallow saucer (enough to immerse the prints heads fully) and take care not to damage the print heads.
- Leave overnight to allow any ink residue to soften.
- Remove the cartridge and place on a clean saucer to let the print heads dry naturally. Do not rub the print heads.
- Refill the cartridge as normal, replace in the printer and run a cleaning cycle.
Cartridges without print heads (i.e. Epson, Canon)
- Find an empty cartridge.
- Using a syringe and filling tube from a JR Refill Kit and inject up to 5ml of flush into each of the filling holes (as if refilling a cartridge). Details on injecting ink/flush can be found here.

- Place the cartridge in the printer and print up to 12 test pages.
