RE: [Digital BW] Unclogging 1400 with Carbon 6

2012-01-21 by Tom Maugham

Hi Louis,

 

I resolved a serious clog in my 1400 by using a mix of 2 parts ammoniated
Windex with 1 part 91% isopropyl alcohol on a piece of folded paper towel
under the print head for a couple of hours. Since you don't have Windex
where you are any window cleaner that has ammonia should work.

 

All the best,

Tom

Subject: [Digital BW] Unclogging 1400 with Carbon 6

 

  

I have been imprudent and let a 1400 sit with Carbon 6 for too long. 
What is the best way to unclog the heads? I do have Paul's Clear Base at 
hand, since I mix the inks myself.

Does anybody know what the active ingredients in Windex or Simple Green 
are, since I don't have those brands in Switzerland? (Or what additives 
to avoid...)

Many thanks
Louis
