Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Epson 1400 MIS refillable cartridges and B&W inks 

I just spent the last three days resurrecting a 1400 with UT-14 that   
has been sitting unplugged on a shelf in my studio since March of   
2011. It's been a little stubborn but I finally have a beautiful   
nozzle check pattern. I filled a syringe with plain original formula   
Windex and hosed the capping station. I did this several times over a   
30 hour period and could slowly see progress after multiple cleaning   
cycles and nozzle checks. I finally folded a paper towel to four   
thicknesses and cut out a little rectangle just slightly larger than   
the gasket on the capping station and doused the paper towel pad with   
windex and gently laid it flat over the capping station. Then I   
patted it down flat very carefully and brought the carriage home to   
park and let it sit whilst I was at work today. When I came home   
tonight I had them all fully back except for magenta position was   
completely missing. I drew about a cc of ink through the bottom of   
the cart to make sure I had ink coming to the head. I ran a cleaning   
cycle and then got a perfect pattern on the nozzle check. I noticed   
that the glop was toning because of some back wicking from all the   
windex gunk in the capping station so I dabbed the capping station   
sponge dry with paper towel and ran another cleaning cycle and all is   
well in paradise tonight. 

Peace

I have the above and a totally clogged black ink cartridge. The   
others test 100%. 
Any suggestions? Any experience with defective cartridges? I haven't   
tried gasoline and a fire hose yet, but that's next. 
I should say, I bought, filled w/B&W inks and installed these   
cartridges in a refurbished 1400 (yes, I tested it with the color   
inks first) last year and after playing for a while, let it sit for   
quite a few months. Have time to get back to it now and because of   
the blocked cartridge, can't do a thing.
