- Most of the time the HP DW ink cartidge clogs up from LACK of use.
-
- I would suggest the usual method for unclogging though.
-
- Get yourself a small dish or bowl (just large enough to hold the ink
- cartridge) and fill to a depth of 2-3mm with ink (inkwell style ink
- should do the trick). Let the cartridge sit in the ink for a few
- hours. The ink will act as a solvent and unclog the cartridge.
-
- hope this helps!
