Cleaning print head with aquarium tubing and syringe

[kevindd992002]

For a Pigment Black-clogged Canon Pixma MP830 print head, what size of aquarium tubing is appropriate in "sucking up" Windex solution from the bottom of the head to the ink inlet port? I read that 3/16 OD is used for the color inlet ports.

Not to most people in this forum. But anyways, my questions is about the OD size.

You need to know the ID. Use whatever you can to measure it. A ruler will give you a pretty good guess.

Yes 3/16" about right for the C/Y/M/B PB is larger I use a needle scabbard with the plain end cut off. its 2" long and being rigid stays upright. I use it with a standard syringe, works well for me
