Just sharing what seems to work for me. I've been successfully doing this for a while now. I just had to go through this procedure last night and it worked once again, so I figured I'd throw it out there.
The 4900 is powered off when not in use
Power on once or twice a week (if sitting) and print a nozzle check pattern. Cyan is consistently a problem and the first to show clogs. 5 days of sitting powered off & I'll put money on it..
Run a normal cleaning cycle on Cyan (or whatever is showing clogs)
The goal is just to get only 80-90% showing (each color) on a print check pattern. Usually 1 or 2 normal cleaning cycles.
Be sure to print a check pattern after each cleaning cycle.
Once 80-90% showing, power off & let sit overnight.
Power on, print a check pattern, no clogs...
Works for me..
It's kind of humid here all year...
