But for a photographer, the high end Epson printers are still
unmatched in terms of image quality. My R2400 has never clogged in
over two years of use. Sometimes I go a week without printing. No
clogs. No problems.

John,
I believe I've cured my print head clogging problem altogether. I
got rid of my Epson stylus color photo printiamagigger 925 and
bought an HP printer. I was spending at least 2/3 of my ink
unclogging and charging the print heads on my Epson. I don't print
much so just about every time I wanted to use the Epson it needed
cleaning from having the ink dry on the heads. This was a total
PITA (Imaging you pop home to get the interweb to print you a map to
where you need to be in about fifteen minutes less that it'll take
to drive there only to find that the printer doesn't want
to....print). The HP prints just as well, if not better, and so far
it prints when I want it to...

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
