How do I take the whole catridge out of my printer? -

I took my old ink out and i didn t put the new ink in till 2 months later so while there was no ink in there it dried out my nozzles and it wont print and I was told I need to take the whole cartridge out and clean the nozzles with alcohol. So ya....How do I get the cartridge out of a Epson CX7400 printer?

I use WINDEX, yes the window cleaner. It will not harm the printer and will dissolve the most times. Go to this website where you can buy a cleaning kit with instructions. While you re at it take a look at their CISS for your printer. http://www.inkproducts.com/ink-store/ The weeno website states to do 15-20 cleaning cycles. That will cost you lots of money for ink cartridges. Get a CISS for your printer. It will save you TONS of MONEY, never change a cartridge again and it will pay for itself in a month. http://www.inkproducts.com/ink-store/

Go to epson.com and fill out the support form and ask there. My Dell has troubleshooting instruction online but yours seem scanty. I don t think you have to disassemble the printer, either. Use patience, not too much alcohol, a Q-tip. http://www.ehow.com/how_2335342_clean-pr… When mine clogged up, I typed in: how to clean a printer cartridge into a search engine and came up with several places to find information. I read all of them and then had my husband do the work because he can handle fine things and knows how not to flood the computer with alcohol. This makes sense: http://www.weeno.com/art/0899/140.html He s talking about an Epson printer, too.

I assume you mean to take out the entire cartridge holder. If you replaced the ink, you already know how to take the cartridge out. Take a look at http://www.ccs-digital.com/cartridgeprob… for possible answers.
