Digital BW, The Print

Andr\ufffd, Try this:


first do a couple normal cleanings.  Then remove the cartridges, turn
them upside down and set them on the printer.  Get a syringe, and mix a
solution of 1 part ammonia and 9 parts water.  Squirt it through the
affected print head nipples directly. You may not need to use a needle,
depending on the size ofour syringe. It may fit the nipple almost
exactly.  Squirt about 20 or 30 cc's of solution through the black
printhead. Be sure you have a towel under the printhead to catch the crud.

Then, you can try this, which usually works on any clog. (in combination
with the above).  

send the printheads to the far left of the printer and unplug the
printer.  Soak a single paper towel in the ammonia water solution and
wring it out.  Fold it over on itself many times, so you have about a 1
inch by 12 inch paper towel.  Put this in the trough that the heads run
along. Pull the heads back and forth over the towel many times.  Repeat
with another towel. Repeat with a third. And maybe a fourth towel.

THis will clear all the gunk under the heads.  Then do a couple more
normal cleanings with the printer software. These 2 methods have ALWAYS
worked  for me though.
