Thanks, Duane. Wow - Tilex - how did you come up with that one ? ! I'll give the glycerin, H2O and ammonia a spin. ----------------------------------------------------- Brian Corll From: DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of dlruckus Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2008 7:52 PM To: DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Making yourown flushing cartridges 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).
