Where is the info about using Windex to clean the print head? I need to
know how to move the print head to reveal the pads. Thanx.

Soak the clogged head into a dish with hot water and windex to clean
the clogged ink out. Usually works.

That depends on the printer model you got. Mention them and someone
here could either help you or something. You could also try searching
for your model at fixyourownprinter.com and see if someone already
mentioned how to guide yet.

Move the heads the same way you would do to replace the cartridges
then pull the power lead out, after which the heads can be move
freely by hand

I do NOT recommend removal of the print head or soaking it in either
water or windex to unclog it, as described in this posting below.

There are much safer methods that work very well.

Trouble is with Epson, once they start to clog they will always b
clogging

There is forever problem after problem with clogging and Epson APPEAR
to be the leader, my Epson clogged on the 2nd day, due to print hea
failure some months later it was replaced and that clogged on the 4t
day and all with Epson ink

If you want to get away from clogging I would suggest looking at othe
brands, no no, I am not asking you to take my advice I rather you se
for yourself, look through all the forums, view user's comments o
various shopping channels on printers, you will see the problem'
encountered with ALL printers and which to avoid

I was sick of the clogging and ink wastage I 'clodded' it and bought
Canon ip5000 and never ever had a clog since, I say that with AL
honesty

Tell me if I am right in a few months time

I AGREE THAT THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO CLOG MORE THAN CANON PRINTERS BUT
IN THEIR DEFENSE I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE USED THEM FOR A YEAR WITHOUT
CLOGGING. BUT THEY DO USE EPSON OEM INK AND THEY DO PRINT EVERY DAY. I
THINK THAT IF YOU TAKE AWAY EITHER OF THOSE THEN YOU MAY EXPERIENCE
PROBLEMS.

Then explain my brother's epson 5200 that clogged right away when a
new Epson ink cart was installed. No 3rd party ink ever touched this
printer and it still clogs like crazy and was quite unuseable as
printer. The tendacy to clog Epson printer is way out of proportion
with other ink printers.

Sorry but even Epson ink does clog the printer and Epson choose not to
get this fixed permantly on their printers.

On the other brand, I've had HP ink jet printer for 2 years with mixed
OEM and 3rd party carts and refilled myself several times. The only
time they clogged is when the cart's been refilled more than a few
times and has wore itself out.

oh and check your caps lock key. TYPING IN ALL CAPS is one way to get
killfiled quickly.

Measerhithead is a paid spammer for canon. His all cap oem-won't-clog
bullshit is the best can come up with.
Don't pay any attention to this moron.
