Re: [Digital BW] Can't get rid of a clog....

Akivisuals, Well the first thing I have to say is never, ever, under any circumstances let your printer sit without any cartridges installed. When you leave the cartridges out, whatever residue may be in the nozzles is going to dry out on you causing problems. At this point try some original Epson cartridges. They are great at cleaning out the heads and will confirm proper operation of the printer. The cleaning fluid in the flush cartridges is so thin that it may make it through the nozzles when pigment inks or even dye inks won't.
