Re: Making yourown flushing cartridges

2008-11-30 by dlruckus

Hi Brian. I've used a variety of things. The distilled water will work
but it may be a bit more difficult to remove old ink that way.
Currently, I use a mix of about 15% glycerin, 84.5% distilled H2O and
1/2% clear ammonia by volume. If I'm cleaning an old cart thats been
around awhile or restoring an old printer's heads, I make the mix with
about 10% Tilex Clean Shower replacing an equal amount of H2O (The
Tilex contains a surfactant and isopropyl alcohol). 

Regards
Duane
