Digital BW, The Print

Peter, I also had a really bad clog on my 1160 Ultratone ink 'M' head 
the other day, and thought it was all over, but I reverted back to 
the windex fix, and it worked just fine (didn't even have to wait 
over night, just a few minutes of soaked paper towel under the 
heads)...then proceeded to print a number of flawless prints w/o any 
cleaning cycles. If you aren't familiar with this windex fix, try 
search for "clog from hell" or some such...I think it was posted on 
this forum a couple years ago, but can't remember for sure. Good 
luck, Mark
