  1. Hi, Thanks very much for your tips. I really appreciate it. I was going to do the glass cleaning mixture with still water and I saw your message. Thanks... I am now considering going your way. The only issue that I have now is that I live on a small island, and it is quite difficult for me to order things without paying too much shipping fees. This means that the only way I found was to order from AliExpress with standard shipping option, but it takes more than 1 month (sometimes 2 months) for the parcel to arrive. Meanwhile, my white cartridges are nearly empty and white seems to be clogged. I've already ordered cleaning solution, but I need to wait for it to arrive... This means that it could be possible that the clog would be more difficult to be fixed... Until the cleaning solution arrives, what would be your advice to avoid a permanent clog issue ? Thanks again, Jon
  2. Hello everyone, Can anyone tell me if I can remove the cartridges from the printing tray area if I don't use the printer for a while ? If yes, how can I do that ? Shall I remove the cartridges and put the caps back, so ink will not dry ? What about the print head ? How can I clean them ? I created cleaning solution from ammonium glass cleaning fluid (1 cup) and still water (5 cups). I wanted to use a paper towel, soaked with cleaning solution, that I'll put under the print head. On tray area, I wanted to do the same and clean the area like that... If I do that, how can I know if some ink remains within the print head area ? The soaked paper towel would stay only during the cleaning process. I was hoping that the gravity would allow the cleaning solution to run from tray area to print head... I wanted to repeat the process until the paper towel under the print head is clean (I would use multiple soaked paper towel). Do you guys have any other alternatives ? Thanks in advance for your replies, Jon
