First I used empty clear spongeless carts filled with regular windex, ran several cleaning cycles. Then I removed the carts, filled up a syringe w/windex, and attached a 1/2 inch long piece of small flexible clear tubing, and injected the windex down through the posts above the heads. Not too much pressure, but enough to force out the clog. Place a folded up paper towel underneath the heads to avoid a mess. Then I replaced the carts w/UT ink and it worked fine after that. Before all this the magenta head was totally clogged. (This whole procedure is explained somewhere else on this board from a couple years ago, don't remember the specifics...should come up on a comprehensive search.) > You mean you bought blank carts like the MIS spongeless carts and > filled them up with windex, loaded them like regular carts, and did > cleaning cycles from the control panel?Did you do purge cycles too > with the windex?Did you use regular windex or no drip?Thanks for the tips! >
