I looked at the ingredients in the PK-Clearbase and it sure looks like it would make a good cleaner. What's odd in this situation is that the 1430 is quite new. It was printing fine about four days ago and I have been leaving it on. I also leave my 1400 on and it rarely clogs, though it is running UT-14 which is pretty clog-free. I don't normally have many clogging issues and this whole episode was a bit of an anomaly, but then the 1430 has been a mis-adventure anyway. If I had it to do over again, I'd pick up a used 1400, even if it didn't come with a new set of Claria cartridges.
