Re: [Digital BW] First try of MIS clear cartridges - a disaster

What's Paul's method of head-cleaning?

As i didn't get the plugs for holes from MIS I used the top part of caps
which came with the syringes. They fit very tightly in the holes so that I'm
sure that no air comes in this way. On the other hand I don't know how I'm
going to remove them :-(
I don't get ink leakes anymore after I have used the caps but I struggle
with clogged nozzles all the time. It goes like this:
nozzle check > many nozzles clogged > cleaning > some nozzles are better but
other new clogged > once again cleaning > perfect nozzle chceck > I print >
the picture comes out perfect at first but then I can see clogged nozzles at
the end of the print.
I don't want to repeat the cleaning right now again as I know that it won't
even be good for a single print. Prior to installing UT2 inks I cleared
thoroughly the parking pad with Windex so that I'm pretty sure that mixed
inks are not an issue. The printer didn't have problems with clogging before
I installed UT2 inks. Please advice what voodoo should I perform to make the
printer work. I'd love to see some perfect prints at last.

Regards

Tomek
