Has anyone ever used Printer head cleaning cartridges or cleaning fluid on there printer heads? Mine keep getting clogged up and I can run a few head cleans but it uses all the ink!! :angry:
Have found some on eBay but not sure if they work?!

Sorry can't help you as my print heads are on the carts themselves but didn't want to read and run.
Hopefully soon somebody will know

I got a new printer for Christmas because the heads on my old one were constantly clogged. I used to get through so much ink trying to unclog them.
I didn't try printer head cleaning cartridges or cleaning fluid though. Not sure how successful they would be. Would be interesting to hear from someone who has.

I saw printer/scanner/copiers in Tesco and Argos yesterday for under £30...
You just need to check online for the prices of the ink :D
spoke to hubby, he says
lift out the cartridge and you will see a sponge pad underneath it put a few drops of spray on window cleaner in there it contains alcohol and should sort it
hope it helps

I purchased a Epson D120 last month and cartridges are available for this cheap. Just type in cheap cartridges in google and loads come up.
Excellent printer too - cleans itself!

Sometimes the ink pads get clogged. Type in your printer number and cleaning into google and you should get a solution - pardon the pun!
