Harvey Head Cleaner success story - 4900
« on: July 19, 2013, 07:09:41 pm »

I just got back from a 10 day business trip and Left Harvey on to take care of business. I am happy to report no nozzle drop anywhere. While I was gone temperatures outside were in the 90's and humidity inside was around 35%. Before this would have done BK and LLK in.

I took a fellow readers suggestion and purchased a 36" roll of standard printing paper and cut it into 10" wide rolls. I did a no cut on the machine, marked the original date on the first test pattern and when I got back, I had a nice ribbon of successful test patterns.

I was concerned that I may have needed to print something more than a test strip to keep the nozzles cleared. Like printing a picture every third day, but so far the test strip seems to do the job.

I still think monitoring and maintaining humidity should be the primary consideration.  But if you're concerned about printing more than one nozzle check strip, you can also program HHC to print out several nozzle check strips each day.   :)
