An observation on "bad" and "clogged" printheads

Oh, and I can also confirm that LA's Amazing cleaner does in fact do an AMAZING job at cleaning ink off one's hands... much better than bleach, etc.

Bonus: the lingering scent isn't very strong and is actually a little pleasant.

I was at Ace Hardware and noticed a jug of the pink "non-toxic" antifreeze. This is the stuff that is suppose to have propylene glycol in it:

I found the MSDS for it: http://www.hardwarestore.com/media/msds/631524.pdf

But it didn't list the ingredients (that I could tell). Other sites say, "A blend of propylene glycol and denatured alcohol "

First line. Ethanol. Makes lousy antifreeze.

Glad to hear that someone else tried it and had similar good results.

The LA Awesome works so well that I've stopped using rubber gloves when refilling carts - I just spray my hands before I start, working a little under my cuticles and into my calluses. Cleanup is as easy as re-wetting and rinsing away.

BTW, I had to do a tear down of my second printer recently (kid dropped a penny into it). Awesome had flushed the ink away from the absorber pad adjacent to where the purge tubes touch it.
