I edited the thread to keep some moron from putting nail polish remover on his print head.
. took a syringe to the drain line and bingo all nozzles were back to normal. Showed me how to check if it every happens again.
Take a lint free rag, take one of the solvent cleaner cartridges. Cut open the cartridge so you can use the liquid, soak the lint free rag in the cleaner solvent, place the rag on the capping station. Raise the head height to high and bring it into the capping station, then lower the head height & let soak for a couple hours. After soaking do a normal cleaning on the head & it should be fine. I did this because my 'M' wasn't firing correctly nor was 'K'. Works GREAT!
I'm not sure I understand just where you placed the solvent soaked cloth so that it made contact with the head...Could someone please explain?
Thanks.
Headwash is a great way to spend a couple hundred bucks!
I always read "crack open a cleaning cartridge". I simply use a hypodermic syringe from a "regular" injet refill kit or insulin syringe to poke the rubber seal. Seems like you'd waste allot of that expensive fluid by cracking open a cartridge. Another thing, I asked my supplier (The GRS) a merchant member here for some cleaning fluid and he asked if I still had the 4 cleaning cartridges that came with the printer. I assumed them to be empty as I only used them once, but they were all like half full! Thanks Chris from THE GRS
Inside the plastic cartridge is a mylar bag.
So you crack open the cart to get at this bag.
Clip a corner off the bag and pour the liquid into a poly bottle.
This is absolutely TRUE!!!
