HP designjet cartridge- new & clogged
Hi, our old cartridge on the designjet 650C ran fine for a year till it ran empty this week.
I put a new one in- also a genuine one- manuf. date Sept. 2007. and it prints streakily. I’ve tried what I can- it doesn’t have a designated head/jet cleaning function, just a ‘replace pens’ option that retests them.We only use it to make screen positives, as the black is a pigment ink.
Does anyone have any ideas on cleaning the cartridge/head?
I tried a wipe with isopropyl alcohol- no real improvement. I tried urethane reducer- same result.
It’s not as bad now, but still ridiculously streaky for a new cartridge.
It’s an HP40 black cart.
