Ink usage with head cleaning cycle

2009-06-29 by Richard Smallfield

I've got a clog-from-hell with my old 2100 and, after several unsuccessful cleaning cycles, then a rest for a couple of days, followed by two more cleaning cycles (the clog has only got worse) I wondered what size image a cleaning cycle on an Epson A3 printer would print with the amount of ink used.

It's probably an impossible question to answer, as different models probably behave differently - but if anyone knows how much printing one is giving up for a cleaning cycle on a 2100, I'd be interested to know, even if that knowledge will only be of academic interest (and rather depressing).

thanks,
Richard
