I have bought several of these Brother MFC and DCP printers for myself, family and work. Thought I'd add my experience to the mix. Is there a cleaner or substance I can squirt into the inkjet pump/feeding mechanism w/o drowning the rest of the printer?

You think that is easy? Not exactlyĭiscover that printheads are assembled in bizarre unservicable locationĪnyone have ideas on how to unclog this yellow ink? At first I thought, I'll take it apart and clean the printheads.
My current issue is that the Yellow ink has become clogged. I have been refilling the ink cartridges with Jet Tec refill kits ( ) and that has helped me keep the printing costs down. I know it is older but I've figured out how to make it last this long. Solution, buy a new printer, OUCH.Īt home, I have a Brother MFC 665CW purchased a few years ago. Won't be buying Brother again, particularly in light of the comments above. Nothing can be done to clear it:-( Not happy. It apparently formed crystals in the line from the original cartridge supplied with the machine. The advice I got was that Brother had always had a problem with their yellow ink as it was bought from an overseas source. Had a spare new cartridge and cleaned about a dozen times but to no avail. Recently, like the person above, I struggled for a while with a paperjam problem, when there wasn't one. I have had it for several years and ALWAYS used Refilled Cartridges from Cartridge World with no problems at all but, always wondered why, when printing coloured pictures the colours were different to the ones printed on my Canon. I hope this helps someone out there save a few hours of torture! I cleaned it and had ink for the first time in weeks! I had to clean the head via the menu printer level screen, but after 4-5 times all was well. To make an already too long story shorter: I soaked a cotton facial pad with rubbing alcohol, moved the printer head to the center by holding the "exit/stop" button (with the printer top open), placed the soaked pad on the plastic flooring that runs under the printer head and manually moved the printer head over the pad. I realized that the printer heads were dry, which sent me on a hunt for: So 2 sets of cartridges later, I realized they didn't know what they were doing and started hunting on the internet. Not sure why the authorized technician didn't figure it out when he told me he fixed the error but could get anything to print%u2026 So I called brother support and there people kept having me do an exhaust cleaning, they neglected to tell me that I would need to replace all the ink cartridges when we started it and were sort of miffed when I said even though i had replaced them that morning. Cheaper than a new printer, anyway.Īfter a 6 week ordeal to get a paper jam error to stop showing up on my MDC-J835DW, my printer head all dried up. Without being able to see it, this is the only advice I can offer: http:/ / / printers/ brother-mfc-665cw-service-manual I don't know how reliable this company is, but for $3. I'm assuming, however, that each ink cartridge does not come with a brand new print head? Less like an old HP(inkjet) and more like a Canon(bubble jet)?
I've serviced many printers before and can't remember one that you couldn't get access to the print head fairly easily. According to this: http:/ / / BSC/ public/ files/ dlf/ doc002117/ Mini3_MfcLcdW_UsaEngUsr_D.pdf, they don't even show a way to manually clean the print heads.
Now that I feel like a total d-bag for lecturing, I see your dilemma. Create a shared services area where multiple people can print to one big printer/copier. You just defeated the purpose of buying a laser printer.) C. Get a personal laser printer.(Do not get a color one. If there's so much printing that you need to find ways to cut corners, either A. I know many manufacturers will not honor a warranty if their cartridges are not used. I know it can keep costs down, but that's only if nothing bad ever happens. I hate to be a lecturer, but whenever I see "refill" and "ink cartridge" in the same sentence, I cringe.
