No, I'm not looking for advice on how to clean my printer while skydiving.
I'm wondering what some of you folks do when you've cleaned and cleaned and
cleaned your printer's heads but still keep coming up with clogged nozzles.
Last night I set up my old Epson 2200 for the first time in a couple years.
Naturally, the heads were all clogged from disuse. Recalling my old Epson
rep's advice, I sprayed some Formula 409 on Q-tips and moved the head back
and forth over the swabs. I did this many times (at least two dozen, if not
more). I also ran Epson's head cleaning maintenance app (in their normal
printing drivers) quite a few times.
The magenta and yellow heads are still partly clogged, and I just can't get
them to clear up. The rep said not to use alcohol to clean the heads, so
instead I put a couple bottles of alcohol in me (in this case, Pyramid
Apricot Hefeweisen) and called it a night.
Anyone have any other cleaning ideas?
Also, is there any way to easily remove and clean the waste ink pad, where
the automated head cleaning takes place?
Thanks,
John
