Digital BW, The Print

Hello ron,

Depending how clogged the heads are determines which steps to take. 
I bought an Epson 1280 from Ebay and when it arrived it would not 
print at all. I had read somewhere about taking a piece of model 
airplane gas line and attaching it to a syringe to inject a mixture 
of windex and alcohol into the ink posts in the print head. I tried 
that and it cleared up after several tries. A lot of what folks 
called clogs are really air bubbles that make the print head lose 
its prime. I hope this helps give you some ideas.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny Eades
