That last question will require a longer explanation that I can give 
at the moment, and probably require so pictures that I'll have to 
find. Short answer is that there is a tech.paper on the Epson 
corporate site that explains how the printheads work. I'll look for 
that link later this weekend.

The really short answer is that the nozzles never close.

When you put the Windex on the capping station, the printer should be 
off. Then when yopu turn it back on, the printer will suck all the 
(now) dissolved ink into the waste system, which will help to keep 
that free from problems too.
