Clogging solved or not !

Clogging solved or not !

2005-12-08 by Andre

Some 6 months ago, after battling incessant clogging with the magenta
ink, I decided to leave my Epson 1160 turned on all the time. Sure
enough, the clogging went away.

Twice in that period I turned off the printer for a few days. Each
time, magenta had to be unclogged afterwards. I do one head cleaning
and leave the printer turned on. The clogs disappears within a few
days. Of course, it helps not having to use the printer every day.

Last spring I bought a second Epson 1160 from a list member thinking
that the first one was about to quit on me after using it for the past
five years. To this day, I still haven't had to use that second printer.

Cheers,
Andre
