From: Arthur Entlich on 5 Oct 2005 23:16 You will probably not need to remove the head to unclog the heads. Don't force fluids through the ink nipples. Allow it to drain on its own. Place the "sheet" or quality paper toweling in the printing channel and rub the head back and forth until it is clear of dried ink. If you insist on removing the head, do not submerge it in fluids more than about 1/16" deep.

AMC I killfiled him.. problem solved :o) Les -- Remove Frontal Lobes to reply. "...The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.

From: Jan Alter on 6 Oct 2005 07:23 Well I won't be removing the head, but I certainly will try the moving the head back and forth a bit later today on the soaked sheet with cleaning solution. and then try printing again. I'll let you know how it turns out.
