Run test with scrap paper(s) until you have a dry product. The printer I was given has the head jets in a carriage on the printer (which I removed when I last directly tried to clean it) and the cartridges have a plastic seal which is pierced to allow ink to flow to the heads...I'll have a look to see if warm water works (with the ink directly) before dismantling the head carriage again. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
