Digital BW, The Print

Sorry. Actually, he just soaked the pad under the head and left it
parked there overnight. They usually just let it sit for 48 hours to be
sure. He says that usually does the trick on 99% of the clogs. Very
occasionally will they directly inject it into the head through the ink
intake nozzle. I had done all that myself as I mentioned below with
purging fluid and Windex and it didn't do the trick. I plan on picking
up some of the Speedball 2000 for myself.

Okay Murray, I'll bite: what was the actual process he used with the
cleaning product?  Soak the head, inject it?
Thanks,  David
