The machines have a purpose but a very limited one.
and, you don’t truly understand the limits until you own one & have destroyed a couple marginal print heads

i can't help on this one
i often will use a bottle of the flush or cleaning fluid your ink manufacturer sells
if it appears not to be working, i will add 5-10% acetone. (10% might be pushing it)
they have the best support for what chemicals you use in the unit.
it's worth a call to canada to talk to val if you run into trouble.

Bob, you can be right and wrong at the same time. Kind of like schrodinger's cat.
