I had to use it twice (Inkjetmall's PiezoFlush, modified cartridge, fitting syringe and the "push-pull" technique shown in the video) on the same printer and both times it worked great, the printer is still working fine.

First time I left this printer unused for a few months to a point where the ink dried out in the cartridges completely.  The clog was severe, but this cleaning kit did the trick.  The second time, I thought that the chips on refillable cartridges would be more accurate when these cartridges are used for the very first time.  

That was a mistake -- one cart ran out of ink in the middle of printing while Epson monitor was still showing about 30% in this cart.  The kit helped to clear the resulting clog.
