Hi Guys
I had a couple of carts to flush out last night, one was a Magenta the other was a Yellow.. now I
know the practice is to dump the Yellow cartridge, and use the chip in another cart (cleaned out)
to act as the new Yellow.
But all the same I thought I would have a go at cleaning it.. I flushed it out with water ( I know I
aint got to do that ?) then I soaked it over night with " pharmacy's formula " (also done the same
with the Magenta one) so today I continued cleaning them out, first with plenty of water using the
octoink cleaning method, then I finished them off with plenty of distilled water !
To my surprise the Yellow one has cleaned out to a perfect white, like brand new.. the Magenta one
has a very very slight stain, hardly noticeable !
I have them drying out, and shall be re filling them, the Yellow one i'm confident that it will be okay..
What do you think...
