All;
On these injet printhead cleaning questions, extremely hot distilled
water cleans well.
Inkjet ink is water soluble.
In extreme cases I have added a drop of household ammonia to a
shallow saucer
of near boiling water and soaked the printhead for a couple hours.
After a few bouts of this, I don't buy or recommend any printer where
the printhead
is a built-in part of the printer. (like Epson)
Be careful not to get the ammonia solution on the electrical contacts
or it will eat them.
Only submerge the very tip with the jets.
Again only use ammonia when the straight hot water won't work, and the
alternative is to trash the head/cartridge.
Also helps sometimes to apply a little positive pressure (use your
imagination)
to the vent on top of the cartridge if possible.
