Hey there, printer enthusiasts! Welcome back to the BCH Technologies channel. I'm Kevin, and today we have an exciting video in store for you. You see, we've covered a variety of methods for unclogging printer cartridges in our previous videos, from soaking the printhead in warm water or cleaning solutions to using vacuum cleaners and priming clips to remove stubborn clogs. We've even explored steaming cartridges to open up those stubborn nozzles. But sometimes, no matter what we try, we encounter those cartridges that seem impossible to unclog.

We've had many videos showing how to unclog a cartridge with a printhead.
I will put some links here.  For example, we can soak the printhead in warm water or cleaning solutions to soften the dried ink.  We can suck ink with a vacuum cleaner.  Or, we can suck ink with a priming clip.  We can steam the cartridge to open up the nozzles.  Furthermore, if we made a spongeless refillable cartridge, we can blow air from the top to push the clog out.

However, sometimes we have cartridges that just cannot be unclogged.  This video is for, after trying everything, before throwing the printhead or printer out, a hail-mary method.  Do not try this if the printer or cartridge still has some value to you.  Only try it if you have nothing to lose.  

The integrated cartridge is an excellent choice to try this method.  Because a used printhead only costs five or six dollars and we will not damage the printer anyway.

We plan to boil the cartridge.  We were worried that the metal part of the hotpot will rub against the cartridge, so we added a plastic basket.
