RE: [Digital BW] Clog from hell

2004-01-05 by Seth Rossman

Windex with ammonia contains ammonia.  There are other variations
available.  But, many folks have solved clogs with Windex. Not in the
heads, though; under the the heads on  paper towel. Techniques should be
searchable at the Yahoo portal.

Caution: water means distilled water, not tap or bottled water. The
stuff they sell you to drink is not pure.

=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
