C80 cleaned heads now dead

[Guest]

I have an Epson C80 I used about half the new cartridges then it set for 6
months. Tried the Windex in tubes and printed colors, but not black.
Removed print head unit and soaked in Windex, warm water, alcohol. Now it
will not print anything? I don't know if I should try to disassemble the
head to check out electrical contacts? I could use some help on this one.

Art Entlich has a nice cleaning tutorial. He asks that it only be
distributed by e-mail requests to him:

Arthur Entlich <artistic-1ATshawDOTca>

Above address is anti-spammed---replace AT and DOT with the obvious

There's nothing in the Entlich manual that the user hasn't tried as it just
involve soaking and folded tissue to soak out the head crud if there.
BTW if you attempt to disassemble the C80 Piezo Quartz heads they will be
irretrievably ruined.
The C84 is a nice replacement and quite a bargain

The C84 is a printer or a head for the C80?

That is a printer.
here is a site in the US that sells cleaning cartridges and cleaning
solution.
If you live somewhere else, do a search for C80 cleaning cartridges.
