Can inkjet nozzles be cleaned with solvents?
I've got an Epson Photo Stylus printer. I know that there is a nozzle cleaning utility & I've used it successfully. But after the surface ink gets really old and crusty, the utility does NOT work very well & wastes a great deal of ink.
Has anyone tried applying isopropyl alcohol or other solvent to the nozzles?
