The cartridge flush is designed primarily to clean dried ink from the printhead.

Printer cartridges from manufacturers such as Hewlett Packard, Lexmark, Canon and Olivetti have the printhead on the cartridge. This can be identified by an electrical circuit on one end of the cartridge.

The Cartridge Flush can be used to clean these printheads. Simply pour some Flush onto a lint free cloth and gently wipe away the dried ink from the printhead. One of the best methods to clean a printhead that has been left to dry up for a while is to soak the printhead in a small amount of flush.

Simply pour a small amount of flush into a shallow receptacle and set the cartridge printhead in the liquid. Leave the printhead to soak for 2-3 hours. The flush will eventually begin to break down the dried clogged ink allowing the printhead to be wiped clean and used again.

It is important to ensure that the printhead is handled extremely carefully.
