I've seen Klean-strip, but never used it-what is it's chemical base? is 
it a paint stripper/laquer remover?

I've found the most effective emergency prosedure to be the Windex 
direct injection method-it allows you to circulate windex in both 
directions. If I have a tough clog, I pump in gently, pull back out, 
dump the windex & refill several times, so that anything that won't go 
through the head gets pulled out the other way. The last time I go in 
only, to get the air out of the head. 

Following this forum over the last three years I've noticed that some 
of the worst clog problems have been with the CFS units-the ink 
congeals in the tubes eventually, and makes a huge mess. Between that 
and needing to keep easy ink interchangeabilty I've stuck with 
refilkling carts, as irritating as that has been until now.

best luck,
