Re: Eboni Ink clogging, worst banding I've ever seen in 7 years of

2003-03-19 by richardcapuozzo

For what its worth, I found this in PEI magazine:
go to www.macintouch.com/printerclogs

Highlights-
The head cleaning routine in printer utilities becomes more 
aggressive when used repeatedly without leaving the utility.
Sometimes gently heating the heads with a hair dryer will help 
loosen a clog.
There's a stylus head cleaning solution from 
www.fixyourownprinter.com that Epson techies use.

Hope this helps.
