[QUOTE="UpAndPrinting, post: 224616, member: 22349"] Ok thanks for letting me know that. That was going to be my next suggestion for a more aggressive cleaning. I do not own this model printer so I played it safe assuming the printhead would be difficult for some users to remove. Is the spray in the black channel coming out evenly like the other colors? Sometimes it takes a few repeated attempts of flushing to finally get it. If you let the printhead rest in cleaning solution overnight, that may help dissolve some buildup deposits inside. When I say rest, I mean a puddle or a little more than that. We actually had this happen to one of our Artisan 1430's. We performed the cleaning service but black still wasn't budging. Which is unusual as black is the most commonly used color and as such, flows the most often and should be the easiest to restore. I re-removed the printhead and let it soak in a 1/4" deep of cleaning solution overnight. Sure enough, the next morning there was a long thick and deep black trail that dislodged overnight. It needed more time to soften up. Also, what ink brand are you using if you don't mind me asking. [/QUOTE]
