New Feature available on the Deluxe X4  for 2012

4 High Flow Pumps - The X4 has 4 powerful pumps to pump solutions through the larger printheads like the Seiko and Spectra heads.  With the extra flow you can make sure to recover the outermost nozzles on a large flow head.

Option available on the Deluxe X4 for 2012

Reverse Flushing - We have added Reverse Flushing templates on select templates for an additional cost.  The reverse flushing templates have a plate with a rubber gasket that fits over the printhead nozzles and allows the head to be flushed from the nozzle side.  A normal printhead flush through a printhead goes from the large inlet to a very small nozzle.  The pressure has to be kept low so not to damage the printhead.  With Reverse Flushing you can increase the pressure on the nozzle side to force the clog back out from where it came from.  Reverse Flushing templates dramatically increase the ease of recovering printheads.  Additional templates will become available for other model printheads as we make and test them.  On some Reverse Flushing Templates we have added a thin stainless steel membrane to help transfer ultrasonic onto the nozzle plate.

9 Integrated Programs - Our control board has been updated with 9 new programs to help you recover the printhead fast.  These programs have been optimized for forward and reverse flushing. 

This is a complete deluxe recovery and Maintenance solution kit. It has been used on all types of clogged printheads.  You can recover a dried printhead that has been sitting for two years to a few nozzles that are deflected. It's not guaranteed to recover every printhead, but it will save many heads you would normally throw away.

Recommended Uses:

1. Regular maintenance for printheads. If you use your printer once in awhile, you will probably get ink buildup inside the printhead which will eventually clog the head or cause nozzle deflections. If you use your printer constantly, you will probably get some buildup on the inside of the head and more buildup on the outside which you need to remove from time to time to keep your printer from leaving messy droplets and streaks on your prints.

2. Printhead recovery of wet heads. When your printhead is clogged and you need to be in production, you can recovery your printhead quickly and efficiently. This kit can recover your printhead in hours or overnight.

3. Printhead recovery of dry heads. If you have an old head that is collecting dust in the corner, you can use this kit to recover it. You problably still one because it cost you a lot of money to replace. Many people keep their old printheads because they can't bring themselves to throw away something that costs as much as a laptop computer. Dry printheads may take up to 5 days to recover, but that's one head you will not have to buy. However, if your head had electrical problems there is an 90% chance the recovered head will not work.

Common Questions:

Q: How many printheads can I recover with this kit?

A: The solutons are pumped through a 2 stage filtration system and can be reused over and over again. You can probably recover 10-20 printheads before buying replacement solution bottles.  

Q: Is it difficult to recover a printhead with the deluxe X4 kit?

A: The deluxe kit is so advanced it will practically recover the printhead itself.  It uses the right combination of procedures to loosen and recover the printhead.

Q: What is the difference between this kit and your normal recovery process.

A: Not much.  This new deluxe kit will recover your printhead very easily.  It's multi stage approach makes it a snap to recover just about any printhead.  With a few easy printhead cleaning steps your printhead will be ready to reinstall and run in no time.

Q: Can I damage my printhead by recovering it myself.

A: Yes! We try to minimize this possibility by including precise instructions on how to recover your printhead. If you are not careful you may damage your printhead. 

Q: Do you offer a guarantee that I will recover my printhead?

A: No. We are unable to assess your level of abilities. We can say that we have many people who have successfully recovered their printheads. We do offer a 30 day return policy on our machine. If after 30 days you are not satified with the deluxe recovery kit, you may return it to us for a refund on the amount paid. Return shipping and Outside of Continental U.S. shipping charges not included. We also offer 90 days parts and labor on our recovery machine.

Q: Can I just buy the chemicals by themselves and save money?

A: We designed the process to work with the machine and the chemicals.  If you eliminate the machine or use some other machine you have a much better chance of having the process not work or causing damage to the printheads.  We calibrate each machine to work with our process.  We don't want you to damage your printheads.

Q: Can I buy additional chemicals?

A: We do sell replacement chemicals to existing customers.  Once you purchase the kit online, another section on the website will be available with replacement solutions after you have receive your kit.

Q: Can you tell me how to remove my printhead and reinstall it?

A: As is our standard policy, we can't. If you don't feel confortable removing your printheads or don't feel you can reassemble everything properly, please don't attempt to do it.



Shipping time after you order is 5-7 working days. We machine the Deluxe X4 kit for your printhead model after you order it.  Many of the parts, digital circuits and firmware are specially made for your printhead model. 


All recovery solutions have a shelf life of up to 1 year before opening.

Ink Type: If you are using Solvent Ink, Eco-Solvent Ink, Water Based Ink or UV Ink we can provide a recovery solution for you.  We can handle these types of inks in just about any type of print head.  If you use Bulk Ink you are probably going to see more print head clogs.  We have solutions designed for just about any Bulk Ink sold.






Unfortunately, we cannot advise you on the procedure to remove/install your printhead(s) on your printer. We cannot advise you via email or on the phone to do a procedure that could result in damage to your machine if not executed properly. Also, calibration procedures are necessary after removing and reinstalling a printhead. If you are unfamiliar with these procedures, your recovered head will be out of alignment, resulting in poor print quality. It is worth the investment to hire a technician, watch, ask questions and learn the procedure.
