Epson Stylus Pro 4800 and changing the printhead

[landspeeder]

I have to change a print head and I have the manual and the print head and that manual says I need special tools for changing the printhead....Do I?
Anything to watch out for etc would be welcomed as well

Thanks
David

I don't know what manual you have but the full color manual I have doesn't mention anything about 'special tools'

I bought the manual from you...when you look up the changing printhead area its shows, in color, photos of 2-3 different tools to used during the change..have a look and see what you think....the prt head cost me almost $400. and I do not want to mess it up

Thanks

That is in a different manual than the one you bought. I was looking in the Field Repair manual and Parts guide.

This might help you a little and give a general idea:

(darn thats one expensive printhead... current one clogged? Did you try any procedure to try to recover it?)

[landspeeder]

do I need to buy the field one or can I get buy with the one I have?

I have no idea. I've never even seen a 4800.

tried the cleaning utility quite a few times and the light grey was still weak...ser manual says to change it and the printer is 5-6 years old and used every day...so print head time!!

I changed the print head..takes a while ...as long as you follow the manual its not to bad...
all I need now is the Epson Adjustment Wizard 2 software utility to adjust the printhead settings.. any one have one to spare?
