Question 1

do you need to remove the print head

Accepted Answer

I didn't remove the print head.  I just slide the print head over the absorbent material as per instructions and applied the cleaning solution in the tube provided in situ  I think I had to repeat the operation twice, but it certainly broke down the hardened dry ink on the nozzle and has worked well ever since.  I hope this helps.  I think it is certainly worth a try.

Question 2

Is this kit suitable for a Epson xpression xp-8500 with 6 cartridges.

Accepted Answer

I do not have experience of this printer.  However, it looks like the cartridges just click in like other Epson printers so I would imagine that the cleaning kit will work fine.  Don't bother with the included blotting paper.  Instead use strips of kitchen roll.  I absorbed what was in the foam pad underneath the cartridges before using the liquid and flushed through a couple of times.  It can get messy so wear disposable gloves.  I still needed to do a couple of Print head cleans and test prints before the fluid was all flushed out of the print heads.

Question 3

So will this work fie the Epsom DX 6000

Accepted Answer

Yes, I used it over a year ago and my printer is still printing strong. It works.

Question 4

Can this kit be used with an epson xp352 printer? it is an xp model but not a premium - just an expression home printer

Accepted Answer

Hi Carolyn,  the XP352 looks as though the workings are very similar to the XP405 that I used it on so I see no reason why it can't be used.  I used folded kitchen paper towel to soak up the ink / liquid rather than the blotting paper supplied.  I also used the paper towel to soak up the excess ink from the absorbent foam below the heads before and after use.  it's worth syringing the heads several times soaking up the liquid ink each time.  I then found that I needed to do several printer head cleans with head test prints in between to ensure nozzles are unblocked and fully primed.
