Digital BW, The Print

Jim --

I was interested in your suggestions, since I have suffered quite a few 
"clogs from hell."  I have not tried your suggestion #1 (putting windex on parking 
pad) and was wondering if you would elaborate on it.  I assume you press the 
cartridge changing button to move the head to the left, thus giving you access 
to the parking pad?  Do you then inject windex with a syringe or do you place 
a windex-soaked towel on the pad?

Also, I have become very sparing in the running of cleaning cycles because of 
my fear of approaching the maximum allowable number before the printer has a 
nervous breakdown and requires pad replacement.  I know one can reset the 
counter, but I fear that I might end up with saturated pads spilling ink all over 
my desk. Do you have any insights about the wisdom of that strategy as well?

Thanks very much.
