Tom,

Here is the solution that I use for the same conditions. Send the
print head to the position you normally use for removing your carts.
Cut a piece of bias tape (can be found in different widths, but get
the size that will fit the track under the line of print head travel
and saturate it with 1:10 household ammonia)  and move the head over
it several times. You do need to wear rubber gloves to avoid ink
coverage of your hands. This is the method Paul Roark uses. He is the
guru on the Yahoo newsgroup DigitalBlackAndWhiteThePrint.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny
