5 Signs Your Printhead Needs Professional Repair
5 Signs Your Printhead Needs Professional Repair
Sign 1: Multiple Cleaning Cycles Don't Help
If 5+ cycles show no improvement, the clog is too deep for built-in cleaning.
Sign 2: Banding That Won't Go Away
Consistent horizontal banding = dead or weak nozzles requiring professional service.
Sign 3: Electrical Error Codes
Communication errors or voltage faults are not clogging — they need diagnosis.
Sign 4: Ink Leaking from the Printhead
Seal failure requires workshop-level repair.
Sign 5: Gradual Quality Decline Over Months
Accumulated wear that needs professional assessment.
