This is a side discussion to Ann's purchase of a lightly used R2400. I agreed with Mike Wilson's caution, but not necessarily his view of "Irrecoverably". Using Epson's print head cleaning utility is guaranteed to use up a lot of ink, if not actually unclog the print head.
I like (much better) this guy's tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1hxljJhi9M His use of aquarium pump tubing as a reservoir/sight glass is ingenious. Also worthwhile is his formula for DIY Inkjet print head cleaner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHUQAZFdTOM With these techniques in your pocket you may find a real bargain out there, even if the printer doesn't work perfectly when you purchase it. -- “The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness ” ― Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Earth from Above -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
