Hi everyone,
Before I order a kit somewhere (maybe Cobra) for unclogging print heads, I'd like to find out a few things about the process. I tried YouTube for a video on this but only found one that shows how to remove what you need, to get the process going.
My main question (in regards to an Epson Workforce 1100-wide format) is what exactly happens to the cleaning solution that is added to the capstation(I believe it's called)? After adding the solution and then plugging the power cord back in, and then immediately pushing the power off button (so that it doesn't go into the head cleaning mode)(in order to line up the head with the capstation), and letting it soak the head for a day or so, do I need to somehow suck out the remaining cleaning solution? Being a newbie to this, it seems like the solution could be dangerous if sucked into other parts of the system. Couldn't it damage something?
I wish I could have found a video tutorial that showed the process from start to finish. I'm not even sure what the next steps are upon letting the head soak for a day or two. Of course any help from those who have experience with this is what I'm seeking. Thanks for your time if you have it.
