How To Detect The Problems of Printhead

On this opportunity Sefendi Blog discusses the problem of how to detect problems in the printhead for Epson inkjet printers. Maybe from the images shown you already knew. The images are printhead Epson Stylus Photo R230. 

Before we discuss the detection problem in the printhead, we must know first what factors could cause the printhead to be damaged or problems. In my experience, the factors causing damage to the printhead for Epson inkjet printers is the ink usage.

According to the fact that there the majority of people who use Epson printers use ink that not original (non genuine). Ink used is to ink refill that is by injecting ink into the ink cartridge. But now the technology is in use is the infusion system, namely a set of tools that form the hose components, ink cartridges and tubes mounted on the printer to replace the actual ink.

The second factor is the use or consumption side, the printer will often be used more easily damaged than printers that are used infrequently. Printers that are used will lead to mechanical and printhead will wear out faster

The third factor is the factor X, by which I mean the X factor is the factor that we can not predict. This means that the factors causing the damage was not due to two factors above. 

How to detect a problem in the printhead?. The most easily way to find out which problems are detected printhead of the print out is generated by the printer. If the results do not appear or print out broken, there is the possibility of problems on the printhead. But not always a problem, we can clean the printhead with a special cleaning fluid printhead. Or we can insert the EPSON printer to a Service Center. Because problems can occur due to blockage of the printhead having ink, the ink dried or frozen within the printhead. 

Another way to detect the printhead are printed or print out blank or empty, there is no printed at all on paper though the printer in a command to print. Printer was ordered the motion response occurred in the printer but the printer does not produce printed. If such a problem is detected, there is most likely due to the problematic printhead or printhead problem occurs short. But could there also other factors, can be caused by mechanical factors that cause the printhead print blank. 

Printhead problems can be diagnosed by using the software, this problem usually occurs when the printer has GE (General Error). If the printer happens GE and problems caused by the printhead, the printer indicated blinking. The printer can not operate normally and will most likely have to do a replacement printhead.
