Title: 7600 Maintenance question
Post by: photomike on December 15, 2009, 02:26:34 pm

I was just looking at my 7600 that has run tens of thousand of prints through it and I see inside that there are foam pieces on the path that the head takes.  I am seeing some, okay a lot, of ink build up.  Can these be removed?  If so how?  Tried getting them out but they do not want to come and I hate to break it.  Can they just be washed or do they need to be replaced?

Thanks,

Check out Spectrflow's web site (http://www.spectraflow.com/tech-tips.html).  Tip #9 talks about something they call "Puddling the Cap".  Interesting name, the technique might help clean your printer head.  I did it on mine and it helped, although it took a couple of times.
