Default avoiding dried up/blocked ink-jet carts

A bit of a bind, but less of a bind than squirting air-duster etc to
unblock an ink cart etc etc. At the end of each session remove the carts.
Grab a couple of couple of large party balloons with the neck cut off.
Stretch over the active face of each cart with a drop of
meths/denatured-alcahol in each balloon and store on a ledge with balloons dangling.


My Canon I hardly use. It just uses ink even while off. Lucky I found cheap
cartridges takes 5.
