Yay! Guess what time of the week it is!

Cleaning printer nozzles day!

I don't get this printer. The day before I had to print my tickets, I did a nozzle check, all colours were perfect. So the next day, I went to print my tickets and was left with this mess (see first pic).

After doing a nozzle check, I still had colour, but black was almost all gone.

How did it go weeks without clogging, and then go from fully clean to almost totally blocked black overnight?

I'm wondering if it might be this particular ink I'm using. I have a refill kit and maybe pigment ink is more prone to clogging than dye? I don't know. All I know is this printer needs a heck of a lot of cleaning, and I only tolerate it because it's so good at printing at a tiny scale.

By the way, the cleaning kit I use is from Printhead Hospital. They're a small business, so I'm happy to give them a free shoutout.

They have really good customer service (once I couldn't unblock my black even after two manual flushes and they told me a different trick to use, saving my printer) and their kit has worked really well for me and is the reason I haven't thrown this printer out the window.*

*I wouldn't really do that, because electronic waste should be disposed of responsibly.
