I just picked up an Epson 7600. It's had very little use, but it hasn't been used in a few years. Thus, I'm sure there's lots of gunk in the print lines, dampers and heads. I'd like to use the printer with a BW inkset, or, if worse comes to worse, as a way to apply glop to prints made on another machine. (I also have an Epson 4880.) I have a set of refillable cartridges for the 4880 filled with cleaning solution. Perhaps these might work in the 7600? Before doing that, though, would it make sense to replace the ink lines and/or the dampers? On the face of it, it would seem best to avoid trying to dissolve everything in them and running it through the heads. Should anything else be replaced before starting it up? Any other tips? I do have the service manual. Regards, Peter
