Digital BW, The Print

I don't know what the fuzzies are caused by -- most of my problems seem to be clogged nozzles (missing ink when doing a head check). I noticed this when I changed out MIS cartridges. (I use preloaded carts) I thought that maybe air was now caught up in the head and one of two things was happening---- air bubbles or air dried out the base solution of the ink and I now have dried ink in the heads. Windex worked some what but it seemed to have to sit for awhile before I could use the printer with good results. So I (my son had been swimming and his ear was blocked up -- as I gave him the swimmer ear it hit me that maybe it would work on the printer ) tried it and it worked. I think maybe the alcohol in it reduced the surface tension of the air bubble or so other ingredient in the solution helped out.... As I am not a scientist but a "try and see" type of person -- I tried it and it worked for me.
Any other thoughts Austin ????
