Re: Elementary questions about printing setup (Epson 1400 + Eboni)

2011-11-29 by Geraldine Powell

I am also interested in how to clean out the 1400 with Eb6 prior to 
several months absence.  I looked up Paul's PDF:

/"I use my C6b generic base at page 5 of 
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Ink-Mixing.pdf. 
<http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Ink-Mixing.pdf.> I also use this to 
rinse the pigments off of the cleaning pads before storage. You can get 
to the parking pads easily by pushing the ink fill button and then 
pulling pulling the power plug./"

However, in another place, it seems to say that this method is not for 
the 1400 or 1800.
Could I fill ink carts with glycerine, followed by distilled water?  
Obviously, I am confused.  Also, once I get the carts filled with the 
correct cleaning agent, what do I do?  Do I run a cleaning cycle?  I am 
afraid I need a "cleaning for dummies" manual.
