Revive Blocked Printer Nozzle's (Most Of The Time)

I posted this in another tread but this might be of general interest to those who print Their own album pages.

I used to service HP large format plotters and customers used to get blocked nozzle's often.

This is the way we used to get them working again:

1. Dab nozzle plate with warm distilled water with a lint free cloth.
2. Lay cartridge nozzle down on paper towel to dry and soak the old ink off repeat if necessary till plate is ink free.
3. Get alcohol swabs (come in squares about 25mm/1 inch square sealed packs)gently dab the nozzle plate repeatedly
4. After a few dabs put on a dry paper towel to soak off alcohol and ink.
Repeat a few times as nccessary.
Put back in printer do a test page. If there are still blocked nozzle's repeat step 3 & 4.
But every now and then press the nozzle plate onto a clean swab. There is normally a little breather hole in the top of the cartridge you can blow on it a few time during the process. (The ink doesn't taste that bad but rinse mouth with whiskey if taste is unbearable).
Sometimes the old dry ink is quite stubborn, if steps 1 & 2 don't work
Fold up paper towel place in saucer put some water in and soak for up to 3-4 hours check regularly
Dab off on a dry paper towel. Resist the urge to wipe (as this pushes the old ink into the nozzel holes.

This works 90% of the time.
