Re: [Digital BW] RE: How do I empty cartridges of cleaning fluid?

2014-02-01 by Paul Roark

I do all the cleaning, rinsing or flushing of the old inks with the carts removed from the printer and over a sink. Pull the ink out the top, rinse the reservoir a couple of times with distilled water (never use tap water). I pull the water and clear fluids out the top first, but also through the outlet. That has to be totally clean also. Eventually what you pull out the outlet will be visually clear.

Basic question, sorry: what's a flush? Do you actually run a cleaning cycle with the distilled water and C6b? You did say to do a flush by pulling out the fluid with syringe, but does that come later, after doing a couple of cleaning cycles?
