| [title] Cleaning the printhead | |
| - | [* black] Place the printhead in the bowl and allow it to soak. Allow time for the water to dissolve ink deposits in the printhead. If the head is really clogged, use of an intact painter's brush should help unclog it. |
| - | [* icon_reminder] Periodically move the print head in the bowl to help dissolve ink deposits. Change water in the bowl as often as needed until it is clear, indicating the printhead is clean. |
| - | [* icon_caution] Dry the print head thoroughly before replacing it in the printer or you may damage the printer and/or the print head. |
| - | [* icon_note] If you have an Ultrasonic cleaner and non corrosive cleaning solution, you may be able to skip all the manual work in this step entirely and have it done sooner. Much like the dish soap suggestion, this is at your own risk and is entirely unwarranted. |
| + | [* black] Place the printhead in the bowl and allow it to soak. Allow time for the water to dissolve ink deposits in the printhead. If the head has a deep clog, use of an brush or alcohol will help it along. If you have an ultrasonic cleaner, you can use this mix to speed the process up. |
| + | [* icon_reminder] Periodically move the print head in the bowl to help dissolve ink deposits and change the water as you go. Do this until the water is clear. ***Dry the head before you reinstall it in the printer, and if you want to do so let it sit near a warm spot to speed the drying process up.*** |
