Works on my Epson SureColor P600

I have been careless and have not used or maintained my Epson SureColor P600 for almost 2 years. The printhead was badly clogged (light magenta and matte black didn't print at all) and after several head cleanings in the printer settings and unsuccessful attempts to make my distilled water and Windex solution, I decided to try this printhead cleaner. My ink cartridges are NOT attached to the printhead, so the instructions in this kit DO NOT APPLY. If you have the same printer as me, DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH THIS KIT. Instead, I followed another guide I found online, where I soaked a strip of blotting paper in the solution and slipped it under the print head. cart and left it overnight, then replaced the blotting paper with a fresh strip soaked in solution and ran the printhead over it. I ran another printhead cleaning through my printer settings and everything came back good as new. I hope this helps someone else in a similar situation as I've been having a really hard time finding information on how to fix a clogged printhead for my particular printer where I can't just force the solution through the printhead, while the ink is fed to the nozzle through tubes. Homemade solution is not enough to dissolve the pigment ink so I think you need a special cleaning solution to make it work and this product is great value for the quantity you get. I used less than 20ml to fix my printer so maybe getting 17oz was overkill but now I'm ready if it happens again.
