Hi
Thanks for the advice, but I will still need some kind of applicator tube and injector to clean the head.
Thanks

Could you not adapt an empty kitchen spray bottle?  Make sure it's clean by washing it out with water and then a little surgical spirit.  Let it dry thoroughly and then part fill with surgical spirit.  Spray onto the head.  Remember surgical spirit is flammable so do not use it near naked flames.

Thanks for all the advice. Tried cleaning the heads but still faulty. Went into a Netto store and bought a top of the range Canon printer for less than then the cost of the Epson cartridge replacements.
Advice for all, don't leave an inkjet printer unused for long periods.
Clive, good job it was not near the neck otherwise we would have the vampyre theme, yes you are a young meatloaf.
Kind regards.

Probably the most sensible decision you have made today JK.   :D  It always amazes me how they manage to sell a whole printer for less money than the cost of a cartridge.   >:(  At least you didn't have to waste £10 on a propietary cleaning kit as well!   :thumb:
