Well I certainly can vouch for Poletheline Glycol!!! (as a laxitive)

I was just thinking it may act as a preventative for clogging, but I
have no idea
of what it may do to the inks and their stability.

Well Jerry I do recall that Epson dye carts state (or used to state) 
that they contained di-ethylene glycol (sp?) which I would bet is 
part of the nice solvent that seems to keep the 1280/1160 heads happy 
and relatively clog free when installed in printer.

And a chem specialist on this list replied to a thread once that I 
raised about this "statement" that he would recommend propelyne glycol 
(sp?) to put on parking pad as it did not evaporate as fast as 
ethlyene glycol (like in your radiator), windex, alcohol, etc...and 
also because it is relatively available and safe- they put it in some 
foods, so you may have injested some recently!<g>

I just never got around to ordering any of the stuff but I'm sure it's 
an idea worth trying out. But to add to the ink itself I dunno...

Wasn't watching. I know how to spell them. gotta be more careful.
