Re: [Digital BW] Plugged heads on 2400!

Thanks for the response. I tried soaking with windex. Ordered some cleaning carts/solution and some improvement but still severe banding. I'll let it soak some more and print another 50sheets or so.

After a lot of cleanings with purges, windex and a special cartridge and cleaning product, I still had a gap in the magenta. If I printed in high quality, the gap would not show up in the prints. After months of printing, I just realized that it got unclogged by itself. I had stop trying to unclog it a long time ago.
