Digital BW, The Print

I’ll second this answer. Many years back a friend gave me his 1160. He had
tried several different third party inks in it. It was clogged in a big way
when I got it. I didn’t try too many extraordinary measures but rather just
tried Epson carts. While more expensive than the alternatives, they did
clean the clogs. I did later switch to other inks.

Thanks Harry,

That's the one thing I haven't tried yet.
I'll try it, and if it doesn't work I may switch to the R2400 too.
