Unclogging Nozzle In Epson 1520 Printer

Unclogging Nozzle In Epson 1520 Printer

2002-06-07 by Richard J. Greenstone

Hi.  This is my first post.

I have an Epson 1520 printer.  I originally purchased it for use with 
the Peizography inks.  The inks promptly blocked up the ink jet 
nozzles.  I've now switched to the MIS inks but I have not been able 
to unblock all the nozzles. I've run multiple cleaning cycles (as 
suggested in the Epson manual) but to no avail.  Does anyone have any 
suggestions.

Many thanks for your help.

Best,

Richard Greenstone

Richard:

You might want to check out the MIS site, Refill Tips:
http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/concern.html

There are several head cleaning proceedures there.

You could also search this forum for "Windex"

Here is the Bible of clogging:

Click on #3 Clogging issues.

I find that many of these factors affect MIS inks as well...so good to pick
up good habits regardless of your ink set.
