Re: [Digital BW] Purging fluids

2005-02-14 by James Irelan

Buy a set of empty carts and a chip resetter from Mediastreet and get a 
60 cc syringe from a vet or feed store.  Fill the carts with distilled 
water.  You can now flush many times by simply refilling the carts.  
You don't need flushing fluid/carts.  Also recommended in the flush 
process is letting the printer sit with the water in it for a day or 
two, but not too long, as John Nollendorfs tells me, because the water 
has no glycols, which act as lubricants to the heads.
