[Digital BW] Re: 4000 clog

2005-10-31 by pekozip93

in situations like this (epson 3000 a few years back) I have had
success with leaving cleaning carts in for a couple days, then if
things free up at all.(I thinkyou are already there though) Go easy on
the windex as well.
there is a special solution available for desktop printers which will
purge out nasties..It may well be available for the 4000, but I dont
have any info on that..only to say that it is the same stuff that
epson uses to clear heads
