Digital BW, The Print

On the first times I had some clogged nozzles, I tried what seemed to me to
be the substitute of Windex/Windolene in Brazil (what we don\ufffdt have here), a
sort of glass cleaner. It worked fine, but it\ufffds kind of a mess to travel the
heads to the left, and put some towels under them. Instead, what about take
an old, empty OEM cartridge, wash it with clean water, and fill with Windex,
and run some cleaning cycles? Would this be better, or worse, than other
method?

  Yes, one of the forum's 7000 users had to have heads replaced due to Piezo
sludge messing up the "dampers" in the heads.  (This information is coming,
so I'm told, from an Epson repair person.)  There are "blind alleys" that
help absorb the shock of the printer jet slamming on and off.  When they get
all clogged with Piezo slug, the shock waves caused by the jet turning on
and off will cause banding and other problems.  Piezo ink appears to be a
bad one when it comes to causing this slug build-up.  I'm hoping that
leaving the cleaning fluid in the printers over night might help clean this
mess out.
