Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

I've been injecting isopropyl alcohol through the heads on my Epsons 
(2200, 1160) for years when having intractable problems and the 1160 at 
least has been in light use for over 6 years. I know it's not a common 
practice and many users are reluctant to adopt this cleaning method, but 
I guess we can all relax about it now.

BTW, a 1cc plastic insulin syringe is a convenient size and has a tip 
(no needle) that fits nicely on the nipples in the printhead.

don't know what impact this might have on the head itself."
