Head soak....I'm lost?

[Signsforwhile]

So after 5 years of outstanding performance and routine maintenance I'm starting to see some of my black nozzles drop out. Thinking a head soak will cure this, but I'm a little confused on where to place the lint free cloth soaked in cleaning solution.

Do I bring the head out, then palce it where it parks? Then have it run back?

Thanks!

Pull the print head to the left and place the lint free cloth soaked in cleaning solution on the cap station and reposition the head back on the cap.

Not sure about the Mutoh but for our Epson and Mimaki you just have to fill up the capping station with cleaning solution. This is an automated process through the front panel. You can also try gently wiping the print head with a soaked lint free cloth. Make sure you pull in one direction only. Best of luck.
