Windex contains ammonia, which is highly corrosive, if you use it in your print head, as I did, you will find that it is likely to damage the circuit board which is part of the head, which is what happened to mine. Use a Epson approved cleaner or just pure water. If you can't clear a clog with cleaning cycles you are in trouble. You are better off not using any inks that have a history of clogging. I have experiance with a 1200, 1270, 3000, 1160 and a 2200. The 2200 using the UC inks and the QTR rip to produce fantastic B/W prints, NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, clogs even after letting it sit without printing for many days. The 3000 has minor clogs which are usually cleared with a couple of cleaning cycles. The rest all had major clogging problems which resulted in the need for new heads after using Windex....I'm a slow learner...
