Digital BW, The Print

I tried a few things but I still have a little hole when I do a nozzle check. I am ready to buy the I-remove kit from ink republic. They have one for pigment. I wonder if I am wasting my money. Duane suggested that I may have paper fibers blocking. Could that be.
On the other hand, when I do a print in 2880 on glossy paper, it prints fine. No small hair line. I guess the head passes a few times in the same spot and cover the small blank line.
So, should I be patient and keep printing ...hoping that the dye ink will eventually unclog the pigment or the fiber?
Should I try the I-remove kit from ink republic?
Should I empty my refillable magenta cartridge and fill it with Windex and run nozzle checks?
Should I give up?
Would the  50:50 mix of straight denatured alcohol(ie:ethyl) with distilled H2O do a better job than Windex for pigment ink?

Thanks for any input. I really would like to have this printer working. It looks like a very good printer.
Pierre

John,Paul and Frank have all been correct in their recommendations.
I've also learned that you can use a 50:50 mix of straight denatured alcohol(ie:ethyl) with distilled H2O in a syringe to gently clear the heads. The mixture will warm up as you make it and, if you allow it to set in the head for a few minutes, it will remove virtually any of the normal inks. If that doesn't do it you probably have a physical obstruction such as paper fibers blocking the nozzle.

Duane
