Re: 1160 black ink (mis) clog

Frank,

use something as lintless as possible - I don't know about using a T-shirt. 
High quality kitchen towels or lintless darkroom cloths would be better. 

There is a lot of info on this in the tech sup area of inkjetmall.com.

Basically, you free up the head by moving the white wheel away from you, 
raise the head with the + lever, bring it over the towel that has been soaked in 
Fantastik and laid in the black groove, lower the lever, slide the head left-right, 
raise again and park it to the right.

You will need a few cleaning cycles after that.

If all else fails, take a pipe cleaner (as in smoking pipe, not plumbing), soak it 
in Fantastic and pass it under the head so you can reach it at the other end. 
Move it back-n-forth under the head, remove, rinse, and repeat.

Not a lot of fun... but eventually it all works out. 

Antonis
