I found it easier to soak the heads in 99% rubbing alcohol for a few minutes first then wipe them off. May need a couple of applications of this but takes about 10 minutes. But, since I'm lazy, I'll probably replace the inkjet with a color laser next time. :-D

Didn't you know that little girls have always flocculated? :laugh: They don't stop doing it either: watch them at a club or pub and they always flocculate to the loo...

Lots of really cheap color laser printers are out there now, but their toners cost as much or even twice the cost of the printer - and I am not kidding.

I know a guy who bought 3 such color laser printers in one go (for home use), just for the included cartridges. Out of toner? Move to the next printer...
Yeah, that's more economical, although the new printers come with starter cartridges that are often 30-40% capacity of a normal one.

The problem I have with my inkjet is that I use it so infrequently that every time I try the cartridges have dried out...
So an hour ago, Herself asks me to knock up a form for her: 5 minutes and LibreOffice Calc later and it's ready to go...only the ink cartridges have dried out... :doh: And it took me an hour to get the stupid print heads printing all lines again. :sigh:

My company builds commercial ink-jet printing systems. You would not believe the amount of effort that goes into keeping heads clean and running defect-free. Of course, when our customers have paid $2.5M for one of these suckers, they do have certain expectations :sigh: ...
