Re: [Digital BW] MIS Inks / Printer Revival

Thanks All for the response and helpful ideas.

After 2 1/2 days of attempts but with No output from the printer, I have given up.
I thought I had installed cleaner carts when I stored it, not so . had OEM color
carts in it for over 10 years .. I guess totally dried and hardened pigment ink can not
be dissolved ... or perhaps it even damaged the piezo elements. At the end of the
cleaning attempts, the head did not seem to be 'clogged' in that I could inject cleaner into
the ink ports and even suck it back out, but the head remained 100% non functional.

I agree, I plan to purchase a 1430.

Regards,
Alex
