Hi Brian,

I run 97% distilled water and 3% ammonia. Mix 3ml of ammonia with 
every 970 ml of distilled water.

This is what I use to flush my 4800 once a year.

If I were going to leave in the printer, such as in a B.O. set-up, 
I'd use just distilled water and use 3% glyceric instead of the 
ammonia. (I bought the glycerin at Wal_mart in pharmacy dept., that 
was 99.97% pure. It was only a few dollars for a 6oz. bottle.}
