I,ve got a MX700 where the yellow tank needs deep cleaning almost everytime
it is used. It comes good after several deep cleans and then a few days
later it will be blocked(?) again. Its next to full of ink. Is it possible
to clean printhead? Or any other suggestion?.
Many thanks
John

Have a look here at 'Printer problem solved'
(http://www.printerproblemsolved.co.uk/index.php?model_id=17) I really
don't like the idea of blowing air into the print head..... a far better
way is to fold a bit of kitchen towel into a narrow strip moistened (not
soaking) with warm water letting them sit on that a few seconds, amazing
how much ink will be released without the cartridges..... I wouldn't
suggest rubbing, a dabbing action I'd say is better.

Far better is to use cleaning cartridges.... it's always the yellow
that seems to give this kind of trouble, if you are not using OEM inks
it 'may' be wise to try a different brand... or a different batch at
least as it could an old batch.

What Davy suggested seems to be the answer. Been a week now with no further
problems when it was occurring every day
Many thanks
John
