Not to mention the potential money Bowhaus could make by releasing a 
utility allowing users  to run cleaning cycles on the individual jets 
that might be clogged - they could make a mint off the latter simply by 
allowing end-users to clear clogs without wasting tons of ink

Imagine a scenario where you print a Bowhaus nozzle check patter and 
then simply tell software in the driver to clear those jets..   The 
savings in ink could be immense over the standard cleaning cycles..  Not 
to mention that if it was implemented to purge onto paper running 
through the machine, instead of onto the cleaning pads, you wouldn't 
increment the damn "self-destruct" counter of the printer..


If you know the folks at Bowhaus and they haven't considered this, feel 
free to forward the suggestion to them..
