I make my own inkjet print head cleaner.

The formula is quite


simple.

A while back I had a printer that did not respond to my usual


cleaning methods and I came up with a different way of cleaning my
inkjet print heads. In the video I showed how I used my own
homemade cleaner and a lot of people have asked how I make my
cleaner.

The recipe is simple. 8 parts plain ammonia Windex and 2 parts


isopropyl alcohol, either 70% or 99%.
If you can't find plain Windex, use diluted plain ammonia, at one
part ammonia and 9 parts distilled deionized filtered water.

In the video I have a can of cooking spray. I was going to mention I


use it to remove the labels from the little spice containers I use to
store solutions. The little containers can be made into nice
calibrated cylinders for measuring simple formulas and cooking.
This is not guaranteed to work on ALL printers and all ink. It is for
regular inkjet printer ink. Do not use it on dye sublimation ink, it will
clog. Only use it on a printer you have no hope of unclogging. I do
not wish to be held responsible and am only letting you know what
has worked for me, repeatedly over the years..

If your ink is made by Lyson, there is reports some of their ink has a
different Ph which will gel or clot the ink if this formula is used. Also,
some printers have a micro filter that once plugged are almost
impossible to clean.

Best of luck.
