Thanks, Nelson, for the suggestions. After poking around on the internet, I did order a solvent, not the one that you found, from fixyourownprinter.com. They claim it is the same one that Epson uses. Who knows?
I did wonder if the yellow could be empty, even though the graphic display indicates that all colors are at about half full. I assume that I will have to take out the present cartridge to introduce the solvent with a syringe, so I will use a dipstick to try to check the three ink levels. Boy, that would be the easy answer if the yellow is empty. There was a lively exchange on this forum about the source of the information in those graphic ink level displays, and I seem to remember that it is only loosely associated with the actual physical reality inside the cartridge.
