In this advanced tutorial, Kevin from BCH Technologies explains the correct and safe way to unclog an Epson ET-8550 printhead—especially after DTF conversion—without damaging the internal membranes or causing ink delamination. Many users try to push ink from the top and unknowingly destroy their printhead. In this video, you’ll learn why suction from the capping station is the correct method, how Epson controls vacuum pressure during cleaning, and how you can measure and manage that pressure yourself to avoid costly mistakes.
What you’ll learn in this video:
Why suction is safer than pressure for unclogging Epson printheads
How high pressure causes membrane rupture and color mixing (delamination)
The safe pressure range Epson uses during normal and power cleaning
Why power cleaning is risky—and when it should never be used
How to install and use a pressure gauge to quantify vacuum safely
Step-by-step removal and reinstallation of the capping station
How to safely fill dampers and restore ink flow after DTF conversion
Kevin also demonstrates real pressure readings during normal cleaning and power cleaning, so you can see exactly what the printer is doing internally—without guessing.
