Things got really messed up with my P600- water under the bridge and this is my last attempt to fix this thing. My massive and persistent clogging MAY have been caused by some pet hair compromising the parking station seal. I did find and clean that out as well as soak heads for days using windex/paper towel process. Now waiting for the carts.

I ordered new empty carts to flush through windex using the initial purge routine

Besides ensuring the carts are primed any other hints or process to follow? May plan was to purge using the windex, maybe tinted with a little bit of black ink to see the nozzle check pattern.

If this works I'll get fresh ink and try again. Don't want to spend more money on ink till I have some reasonable assurance it's clear and working.

If you have clogged ink channels you may follow the flushing approach as shown in this YT video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5hfOptXkkc as in the 2nd part of the video
There are plenty more of those and very similar on YT like this one. This should gvive you an indication if the ink paths are free.
