Digital BW, The Print

I am not in a position to answer this from a personal knowledge standpoint but I do know that certain types of plastics don't get along with Windex.. Most kitchen counter tops will soften over time with regular cleanings using Windex. Once this has occurred the material will not harden back up.. I assume it is the alcohol that is doing it.. This is a known industry issue but to be honest I don't know if the material that is used in printers is anything like that used in countertops.

  >>> and..... what kind of damage are we refering to?

  It has been suggested that using Windex to clean out the lines and head
  prior to loading aftermarket Pigment B&W inks will damage various parts of
  the lines and print head and also irreparably damage the cartridges
  themselves making them not useful for ink. I have also kept my non-used
  position cartridges filled with Windex. The obvious conclusion that this
  long-term use of Windex should be even more damaging, though this suggestion
  was not made.
