How long do you want to ignore this user?
My Epson 730 print head is clogged. Specifically, the yellow color will not print. I've tried cleaning the print head through the printer controls, but it's not working. When I do nozzle check, all the other colors print, but yellow. It's been acting up lately (streaky prints,poor colors) and it would always start working again when I did a print head clean. Now I can't get it fixed.

I've found a few youtube videos on manually flushing the head, but none of them show how to get the print head out so it can be flushed.

I really like the printer. It has a good sized paper storage tray, also storage tray for 4x6 or 5x7 photo paper (so I don't have to feed from the rear) and prints labels printable
DVD/CD's.

Unfortunately, the entire line of the Artisan series has been discontinued so I can't replace it and not have to buy a new CISS system.

So I either buy a new one and trash this one, or maybe spend an hour trying to fix it and I can't get it unlcogged, buy another printer.

Thanks dlance...I've seen that second video. He does not actually tell you how to get the print head out, but I had not come across that second one. I'll try that and see if I can get things cleaned.
