<<  Tomcat, Did you once say that you could put straight windex in a set of
 epson 3000 flushing cartridges and use it just as if it were the actual
 flushing solution?
 
 It seems to me you mentioned this a while back.

Sure thing I have used pure Windex both in my 1520's and 600.

Now I used the windex not so much to purge but to clean out clogs.

I use a pure windex cleaning about every 2 to 3 months to make sure I keep 
the gunk buildup to as little as possible.

I do a lot of printing I use about 1/2 gallon of bulk ink a month. Hey so far 
this has worked for me! 

Be very careful about purges. the ink formulations may not be compadible.

I can not say that the windex will wotk with other inks but it sure works 
with Epson OEM inks and American ink Jet corp inks.

I would say that if all you want to do is purge between ink check with the 
ink formulator to see if the Windex is a no   no.

Just plain old distilled water or alcohol also works well to purge.

The big reason to use windex is the cleaning action it has for gunk and 
clogs.
