Ink Splashes - any good tips?

2006-03-15 by Tom

Ok here's a frustrating problem.  Maybe some of you have found good
solutions.

My printer is printing magenta splashes.  Something may have gotten
under the print heads at some point (like a strand of paper or dog
hair or something).  The problem is, now that something is on the
bottom of the print head, how the heck can I get under there to clean
it off?  I'm not really partial to taking my printer apart and am
looking for one of those simple solutions people file away in their
"tips and tricks" bags.

Thanks

Tom T

PS:  The nozzles do not appear to be blocked at this time.  The R1800
printer only runs and has run original OEM Epson UltraChrome.
