Subject: Re: Direct Printing : how to begin

Hello all -
A little update needed. I'm working on my second C84 conversion, and
had it working. But then the heads clogged(?), and after more
cleaning (even soaking for 2 days in a few mm deep isopropyl alcohol),
I can't get the ink to feed through the heads, at least not much.
Printing is very faint, and only the black print heads work. No
amount of having the printer clean its heads seems to have done
anything. Any hints? Is it time for a new broken printer?
