- All of them! LOL
If you know me, you then also know I have many printers in service both Epson and Canon. You will probably also guess that like a few of us, I can not turn away a good deal, to provide a hood home for an unwanted or neglected printer. Locally I can pretty much find 13" Epson printers for barely any money, that are barely used by folks who purchased them thinking they were instantly going to be able to produce masterpieces,,,,, magically!
So my question relates to the probability that I will end up with at least a pair of the same model.
Is it at all possible to mechanically "Flush" out each of the head channels ( Carefully or course ) with a syringe and tube, using head cleaning solution either commercial or Windex and after all residues of ink are flushed out, can I then store the printer and its cleaned but dried head away till I need to put it back into service?
How different would the condition of that head be from that of a new printer out of the box?
Does that make sense or am simply crazier that I think I am?
