I've used a number of different cleaning cartridges over the years, 
mostly on an 1160.
Don't recall if one was from MIS, but I know that they all seem to have 
an ammonia base, as
does Windex. The difference is that windex is a more concentrated 
solution than the
cleaning cartridges, so I was warned to be careful -- that the straight 
windex possibly could cause some
damage. That did not happen -- the windex worked fine. The other 
difference is that windex
has a blue dye in it, but that too, did not seem to affect it's 
usefulness.

However, if I were you, I would not use Windex No Drip, just the 
original stuff. There has to be some
additional (unknown) chemistry which makes it not drip. It might be a 
thickener, with which you would
not want to chance gumming up the print heads.

My opinion!
