HI Nick

Check out both the links or take the head out and clean with Isopropyl alcohol followed by an air line

DO NOT USE AN AIR LINE.

Nick i personally lift the heads out set them in a saucer with some windex and leave over night then set the heads on some blotting paper to suck out what is left and usually thats the job done.

Pushing air into the heads is a sure way of blocking or damaging the heads.

I have done this on both my 1400 printers, one is using all black inks for mono only work and the other for colour.

I also have the waste pipe going straight into a little bottle to collect the waste so i never have to replace the waste pad.

I know this thread is a bit out of date, but perhaps one of you will pop back in..Question..How do you take out the Print heads without losing the little springs. How do you get them back in in proper ordert.. I'm NO techy guy when it comes to putting things back together.
I have TWO 2400's sitting in corner of room because I tried ALL ways to clear blocked heads. One day it would work, for the next 20 it would not.
I use Isopropyl alcohol as well. Even emptied my Black ink and filled with the Iso to clean.
In the end after 4 months of trying I bought a r3000. Would Love to get one of my 2400 working again just to use with MATT ink..

Cheers.
