What dissolves printer ink?

by geikko . Updated 24 years, 10 months ago

The black ink on my Epson Color 400 printer was recently plugged up by using one of the cheaper brands of ink. The jets are attatched to a circuit board module. My color works great but when I try to blow out the black I get only one small little drop of ink. I believe that this cheaper ink has dried itself up inside this one small area on this module.

It would be a waste to throw away this printer knowing that printers are alot cheaper now than they used to be, and it would be more expensive to purchase this module from Epson.

I hve tried acetone, gasoline, and high pressure air and to no avail of releasing the blockage.

Does anyone have a suggestion to dissolve this ink blockage? Or what the ingredients are for this type of ink?

thank you
