Sorry about the cross-post guys, but I need brains with regard to the 
ultratone inkset as well as the 2200.

So last night I got my UT inkset for my 2200.  Very exciting.  After 
running about 7 cleaning cycles, and using about a quarter of my new 
ink, I'm still getting clogged nozzles.  Now I assume it's due to some 
reaction between the UT inks and the UltraChromes on the parking pad.  I 
looked up the Windex cure, but I'm not familiar enough with the 2200 to 
apply those instructions (for a 3000 no less!) to it.

Is there anything tricky about the UT inkset?  Should contaminated ink 
clog this much?  I'm almost positive this is the cause of the problem, 
because after I ran the head alignment routine, I was getting ALMOST 
perfect nozzle checks.  I let it sit for 10-20 minutes, and it was 
almost entirely clogged on the next nozzle check.  So I went to bed.

Is the parking pad what I need to clean?  I assume the pad is on the 
right side of the printer under the head.  I found a page on the net 
that said the pad has a cup around it to keep it airtight.  Is there 
anyway to check to make sure it still has a good seal?

I also was unable to find anything in my Epson manual that explained how 
to remove the print head for manual cleaning.  Is this not possible or 
just not recommended by Epson?  I've heard tell of folks on the net 
soaking their HEADS in windex overnight too, but I'm not sure that's 
necessary since the clogs can be removed by the printers normal cleaning 
routine, the nozzles just clog back up.

I guess I should get in touch with an Epson tech?

tia,
