We love our now 5+ year old HP 8620 All in One Printer. However it had recently started acting up and not printing correctly if at all. I did a test page from within the HP Print Doctor App (now you can do the same thing within the HP Smart App) and could see that the Magenta and Yellow colors were not printing, meaning a clog somewhere in the system.Rather than replace the print head ($175+) or buy a new printer ($300+), after researching the internet for solutions it was recommended to try to clean the print head first. As we are way beyond the warranty period, I figured what have we got to lose.I paid $14.99 for this kit. While you can find the recipe for the cleaning fluid on the internet, I think there is plenty of fluid that comes in the bottle with the kit, so you should not have to make it. The directions are in color and very helpful. I only needed about half the fluid or less to clean out the clogs, but while I was there, I opted to clean all four colors, and use all the fluid as I don't envision redoing this process if successful.The only problem I had was dealing with the dreaded "Ink system failure" error that is prevalent on this series of HP printers. None of the solutions I searched on the internet worked, but I eventually was able to see in the HP Smart App that for some reason the printer thought my new HP factory black ink cartridge was very low. I swapped it for another one I had and although I got a warning about using a previously used cartridge, I could at least get past the error. I'm not sure I will buy another HP printer again, as that particular error won't let you access the menu and conduct any kind of a hard reset. Extremely annoying.I hope to get another year or so use out of this printer and then move on to a new one. If it lasts that long, this cleaning kit was more than worth the money.

My printer had been inoperative with color for well over a year. I don't print a lot of color so it didn't much matter. I saw this product by chance and thought, 'Why not give it a shot? It is a lot cheaper than buying a new printer." It worked like a charm and my granddaughter is delighted that she gets to print in color now. My only complaint is with the directions. They are less than stellar. But, with YouTube's help, I understood what to do, and as I said, it worked like a charm!

The kit is worth the price and time to clean the print head. It’s best to try this first if you don’t have it to buy a new print head. My head was printing small white lines on the cleaning pages. So, after I went through head cleaning process it went back to normal. Will be purchasing the kit again to do periodic cleaning. Great product but you will have to go to the dollar store to buy some accompanying products like small shallow plates for soaking the print head, plastic wrap for the print cartridges, and maybe some paper towels for excess ink. Other than that this is all you’ll need to get the print head back on track.

My HP Officejet 8625 was not printing any black ink after changing the cartridge. I did some quick research online and thought I would give this cleaning kit a try. Upon taking apart the printer head I noticed that one of the plastic tabs had not been fully removed from the black ink cartridge which explains why I was not getting any ink in the first place. I decided to clean the printer head anyway and followed the instructions as described which were easy to follow. I installed the printer head and ink cartridges the next day and now my printer does not function at all. According to HP, I need to buy a new printer or a new printer head which is not a guaranteed fix.

Torn deciding what rating so I split the difference. Ordered this product when my HP 8600 began to give me printer head issues. After using the product, I printed two documents, then the printer head errors began again. Decided to just replace the printer head, but when direct from HP after reading all the negative reviews from suppliers on Amazon. Happy to say, once I installed the new printer head, no issues.

Ok. I have a 950/951 printhead and I was a bit skeptical about trying to repair it. But a new one was $165 and a Chinese knockoff was $80. The cleaning kit was $12 and it could be delivered the next day. I ordered it and it came in the next day (thank you Amazon). The first step was to soak the printhead for 8 hours which I didn't expect, but no big deal. Soaked the printhead overnight and used the syringe to clean the head which probably took 20 minutes. Dried the print head and put it back in the machine and the results were amazing. Solids were clean with no streaking. Bright colors like when it was new.Perhaps this isn't for someone that doesn't like to tinker but I would do it again without question. There is enough cleaner to clean the head one time, so if you need to do it again you will need to buy another kit, but at $12 that isn't too hard to take.UPDATE: It has been a couple of weeks since I cleaned the head and the results are good after a couple of hundred pages. I think you have to try this!

This kit really worked for me.I have an HP Officejet 6978.. Followed an online video using strips of paper towel versus removing the print cartridge as the instructions showed, and it worked great. It did take three applications, so don’t give up. My printer works perfectly now. Good product.

This did not solve my problem, despite very carefully following the instructions.

as promised it worked

When the product arrived did the print head clean now my printer is like new again.

The item did ship to my door before the delivery date which was good. Followed the instructions supplied with the product to the letter, but for some reason the product had no affect and did not change the status of my printer head message.
