Smell alot like Dipropyleneglycol monomethylether to me...
LOL........now that's funny...
A couple of weeks ago I had my cyan and black nozzle half way out. Did several cleanings with the same results. Call tech support, sent out a tech, come to find out one of the ink drain lines was clog. 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.

do tell please.....
Where the cappping station is, if you remove the panel below. there is 2 small hoses to the left that come out and then go into another piece. I will have to take pictures to show detail more of what to look for. Well depending on how mutoh set up the drain line my was originally setup where the 2 lines went into a y then into a larger drain line. Well after the tech call mutoh it wasn't suppose to be setup this way. He capped of the y and put the 2 lines where they were suppose to be after clearing the clog. I will post some pictures so that you can see what to look at.
I was going nuts for a couple of days trying to get the printer to fire all nozzles. Finally Mutoh sent a tech and about 20 minutes he had it back to normal.

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.

Problem Was For Me
the small lines directly beneath the capping station were clogged .Used small syringe and a gentle touch.ti do these tiny lines you need to dismantle the capping station so be careful

Be very careful not to damage the bottom of the head, use a clean room non-shedding wipe and the cleaning fluid from a Mutoh eco-solvent cleaning cartridge.
Rewet the cloth about every 15-20 minutes, it may take a few times or even a few hours to fully recover all nozzles.
Remove the cloth and immediately do a strong cleaning, maybe too.
Repeat as needed

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

This is absolutely TRUE!!!
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.

Or you could put "Chip Clip" on the bag I guess. Mine remains sealed, clean and I can extract exactly as little as I want. The needle nipple is already there.
