Rodrigo,

Yes, I think MIS flushing liquid is a very good idea to help clean out the
sludge that might have built up from these pigments.

But if there is a problem that is caused by too-large pigment particles in
the head, even the cleaning fluid might not help.  In that regard, are you
using a CIS?  The CIS cartridge may not have the 1 micron filter that is
used in other cartridges to catch these large particles before they reach
the much smaller filter in the head.  (Have you noticed a correlation
between Piezo problems and CIS use?)

Hi, do you think that this MIS flushing liquid is appropiated for a
Piezo printer?

Thanks,
