Any one of you fine people recommend a good quality print head cleaning fluid.

Thanks

Paul.....

I have the same printer and recently used The Magic Bullet cleaner. You can get this from Specialistinks.com They also have some very good videos on Youtube about how to clean Epson Printers.

I got very good results with it.

I used this:

when my Epson R300's print head became blocked with dried ink.

A messy job, but it saved my R300 from being consigned to the bin.

I cleaned the head on my totally blocked R200 by soaking the head park sponge with windowlene

Just read on another Forum from an experienced and reputable guy that all you need to do is use 5% ammonia so you buy some ammonia and dilute it 1 part ammonia to 19 parts water.

I would definately go with Paul on Magic Bullet

Magic Bullet works on the R2400, my recommendation is purchase two bottles. When cleaning leave over night to soak the head
