## What Is Power Cleaning on Epson ET-2720?
Power Cleaning is a deep cleaning process designed to flush out dried ink, air bubbles, and stubborn clogs from the print head nozzles. It uses a significant amount of ink to restore proper ink flow.
Unlike normal head cleaning, Power Cleaning:
• Uses more ink
• Takes longer to complete
• Is intended for severe print quality issues
Because it consumes a lot of ink, Epson recommends using Power Cleaning only when standard cleaning cycles fail.

## When Should You Use Power Cleaning?
You should consider Power Cleaning your Epson ET-2720 if you experience:
• Missing colors in printouts
• White lines or streaks on pages
• Faded or washed-out prints
• Nozzle check patterns with broken lines
• Printer not printing black or color properly
Before running Power Cleaning, always try:
1. Regular Head Cleaning (1–3 times)
2. Printing a Nozzle Check pattern
If the problem persists after these steps, Power Cleaning is the next solution.

## How Often Should You Use Power Cleaning?
Power Cleaning should not be used frequently. It’s meant only for serious clogging problems. Using it too often:
• Wastes ink
• Can shorten print head life
• Increases maintenance cycles
Use it only when:
• Normal cleaning fails
• You haven’t printed in weeks/months
• Ink has dried in nozzles

## Tips to Prevent Print Head Clogs
Keep your Epson ET-2720 healthy with these habits:
✔ Print at least once a week
✔ Use genuine Epson ink
✔ Keep the printer powered on
✔ Avoid unplugging during idle mode
✔ Store printer in a dust-free, dry place
Regular printing keeps ink flowing and prevents drying.
