DIY Easy SecurityTag Removal Process-Quick Detachment Method

DIY Easy Security Ink Tag Removal Process-Quick Detachment Method. Extra care must be taken with regards to safety when using this method as the clothing item could easy get wrapped around the grinder and you could lose a finger or a hand. This method is not recommended for the Ink capsule style tags as the ink will spray everywhere if it gets ground into by the pedestal grinder. All proper safety precautions must be observed when using this method. Better yet, I recommend you do not use this method as it's highly dangerous. I chose to use this method as I live far away from the mall and didn't want to make a trip all the way back there to have to bother with the holiday driving, parking, crowds, waiting in line a the store, just to get this tag removed so for me it was easier to do it myself. This actually worked really well and didn't cause any damage to myself or the piece of clothing that I bought. I just ground the whole thing off a little bit at a time and it only took a few minutes.

10. Select "Power Cleaning" and Click "Next".



This worked like a charm for me to get my printer back printing. I was one step away from taking it apart and somehow cleaning the ink receptacle by hand. I probably would have ruined it by doing so and been forced to toss the whole thing. Really glad this worked. The very first thing I tried was to make sure there was enough in the receptacles. It was obvious there was as it hasn't printed since I filled them myself. Just to go through the steps I did a visual check anyway and I could see through the front of the receptacle that there was enough ink (it was almost full). Then I pulled out the Epson L3110 user's guide/owner's manual and followed the recommended steps there which included holding the button with the triangular shaped design in it down for 5 seconds until the power button blinked. This had it run through a cycle of print head cleaning. Once into the printer preferences queue and maintenance (as mentioned above) I tried the nozzle cleaning function, then the head cleaning function and both of these didn't work. I'd never heard of doing a power cleaning before so I was losing hope and had visions of tossing this one into the recycle and having to purchase a new one. Luckily I tried the "Power Cleaning" cycle and it worked!!. It is hard to say if the fact that it worked was a combination of all of the cycles that I ran the printer through or if I could have just gone to the power cleaning cycle. Regardless, it doesn't matter because it works now. What I suspect was the problem was that the ink dried and hardened in the oriface in which it comes out thereby not letting any of the liquid ink pass by. Just a guess. It also could have been the fact that the printer was brand new and there was something from the manufacturing process that was blocking it.

How to Remove Security Ink Retail Clothing Tags-DIY Tutorial

There are many ways in which to remove these pesky retail security tags and I've been able to remove them using a few different methods. Often times, especially during holiday seasons, clerks often overlook the removal of these due to the crowds etc. So by the time you finish your shopping and drive home the last thing you want to do is turn around and drive back to the store where you purchased your item and have them remove it. The video above demonstrates the removal of a tag using a rotary tool or rotary file. Dremel makes a nice one and so does craftsman. I'll post some links below to some of these as they are not only useful in performing this job but I've used them for numerous other things.

The video above demonstrates on an old shirt what happens when the ink capsules of the security ink tag are popped and released onto the cloth. There's no mistaken what's taken place once the ink pours out and of course the garment is ruined.

The video above demonstrates the removal using an angle grinder. I admit this method of removal is somewhat overkill, however, it can be done if it's all you have. Your risk of damaging the clothing item goes up a little but if you are careful this method can be super quick and easy. Don't have an angle grinder? You should get one as they are useful for so many other things. I'll post a couple links below. I've used my angle grinders for cutting metal, tile, wood, you name it.



The below video demonstrates the bench grinder removal method. I think out of all of the methods shown this has got to be the easiest for this type of tag. I allows great control of the depth of plastic removed at a time allowing you to carefully peel away small amounts in a controlled fashion. There is some danger involved here though. Make sure any loose parts of the garment are secure as there could be a high tendency for this to wrap around the bench grinder. Same goes with the methods shown above. Know what your doing and be able before you go trying this or you could lose a finger or two.
