It's an old trick but it worked!

Postby Matt. K on Mon May 28, 2012 6:37 pm

My very old Epson clogged up when I was attempting to print a large number of A3 prints for a friend. No amount of head cleaning, ink wasting, stressing, seemed to solve the problem. I had read about this trick years ago so thought I'd give it a try...Spray a sheet of A4 matt paper with windex or any window cleaner, and feed it through the printer a number of times. It worked! And I was almost ready to heave the printer into the rubbish bin.

Very interesting. I hadn't heard of that one before.
