EPSON inkjet printer cleaning sheet A4 size 3 pieces MJCLS (japan import)

My printer, An Epson Stylist Photo R2400, has been a fantastic work horse for printing amazing exhibition-quality prints. Due to an extended move, it has not been operated for some time, and got some dust inside. The result was, the paper would feed, but the printer could not see it, and thus, assumed a miss-feed. I contacted Epson for help. I figured it was probably just a dirty sensor, but where was it, and how could I find it? The printer, of course, is WAY WAY past its warranty. Well, they suggested I use this "printer cleaning sheet."I was dubious, but what the heck, buying a new printer would be $600 or more. I purchased this item, and loaded it into the printer. It loaded properly. What? And ejected properly. No blinking red lights. And no visible dirt on the sticky sheet, either. What the...? It can't be fixed already, can it? Sure enough, everything is now working fine! The repair was cheap and so easy it took me by surprise.So, if you are having trouble with dirty sensors, this is one amazing simple solution!

My Epson ET-8500 gets a lot of use as i use it for printing cards for my small business. Recently, it began having problems with paper feeding. It would feed in 2 or 3 sheets of cardstock, but when I loaded in any more than that, it would refuse to feed the cardstock and I'd get a "insert paper" message. Since I often need to print 50 or more cards a day, this quickly became a problem for me as I was having to constantly monitor the printer and add cardstock 2 or 3 sheets at a time.It was vital I got my printer working optimally as soon as possible, so I purchased the Epson brand printer cleaning sheets. The reviews weren't too encouraging, but i was kinda desperate for a solution, so I decided to give it a try. I figured Epson brand cleaning sheets would be the best for fixing an Epson brand printer, so I chose this product.The package I received was written mostly in Japanese. There were pretty much no instructions. To figure out how to use these sheets, I had to read the Epson ET-8500 instruction manual, and watch a video on YouTube. Neither the manual, nor the YouTube video gave me complete instructions for my particular printer model, but between them, i was able to figure out what to do.For those that need instructions:Peel off the sticky back from the cleaning sheet. Load it into the rear paper feeder, with the sticky side facing you. There is a non-sticky 'strip' at the top of the page. Make sure this is facing downwards.Go through the printer's settings menu to 'maintenance', and look through the options for 'paper path cleaner' (Or a setting named something like that). Select that option and the printer will feed through the cleaning sheet. Repeat this step multiple times (I ran it through four times).I was stunned after I ran this through the first time - the paper came out streaked in black marks! It was hard to tell on additional passes whether more marks were coming up, so I ran it through about four times to be sure.)Afterwards, I loaded my cardstock as normal and my ET-8500 was back to printing without a problem! I kinda expected the problem to return after printing a few pages, but I've printed off over 250 greeting cards since using the cleaner sheet and haven't had a problem.This turned out to be money well spent. I thought the price ($9.99) was a bit steep, but it worked and I still have two sheets leftover. I'd have given this product four stars, but I felt that it needs to come with better instructions. There really isn't much provided.

waste of money, cleaned nothing

I bought this for an H.P. Officejet 6700 because I couldn't find any similar products for HP's. It sort of worked, but I really didn't notice much of a difference in the amount of smudging on my RSVP envelopes. I fed one of the Epson pieces of paper into the printer every which way a number of times (notched edge facing in, out, top, bottom). It got stuck a couple of times because it is actually sticky on the side facing down (it has to face down in an Officejet tray because it prints on the opposite side). And some black smudging did show up on the Epson paper. But the smudges kept occurring on my envelopes after that, so...... Those envelopes are very small (3.25" x 5.25") and next to impossible to print on an Officejet, but because I have an Apple computer, I was able to program the size of the envelopes properly, which was very helpful in feeding them into the printer. I had to put a post-it note across the top of the envelope or it would get snagged.

I run a lot of sticker paper through my back feed tray and it doesn't take long for the rollers to stop grabbing the paper and causing print issues. I purchased this and a ran a sheet through about 6 times and now it's working like a new printer. Very satisfied.

This in conjunction with the Printhead Hospital print head cleaner got my ancient Epson Stylus 2200 working like new. I cleaned the print heads first, then ran two sheets of this through three times each. Could have done just one, the second sheet didn't pick up any grime, but the firs tone sure did! My printer works like new even though it is nearly 15 years old.

Before trying to figure out how to find repair services that wouldn't cost more than a new printer, I tried these cleaning sheets. My printer was suddenly not grabbing the paper, and when it did, it just fed it it through without printing anything. So even though I couldn't find any clues anywhere online for an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 Series printer, I bought these and fed a sheet through a couple times each side. I did it that way because the documentation/instructions suck. Anyway, I could barely see any dirt or dust on the sheet at all. But it apparently doesn't take much to fool whatever sensor tells the printer to print, because the printer is back to normal now. So I'm a happy camper.

Product was not packaged as illustrated. Was entirely printed in Japanese. On opening, one of the three sheets had been roughly cut/torn across, about half way down the sheet. Obviously a returned item that was not checked to see if it was usable.
