As I posted a couple of days ago, I didn't agree that this method 
helps with clogging at all, but only with dirt/hair/ink deposits at 
bottom of head (giving a compeltely different symptom). Although I 
think feeding the towel in through the paper feed is a novel approach.

Please search back and find my post that describes my opinion on what 
is wrong and how to fix it.

Hint- less cleaning cycles, more purge patterns with real Epson carts 
installed. Forget the paper towell trick.
