I've got 2 print heads for my MP640 that I got from MP640's that were clogged
I've run them under warm water and soaked them in water over night
I've also got some cleaning solution that I purchased from eBay that I haven't used yet

Let's say I get the print heads working again...
How do I store them?

Do I need to store them so that the bottom part doesn't touch any surface?
I could suspend them in air using cardboard
Do I need to keep them moist like I would need to do so for ink cartridges?

One annoying thing is that after testing, I have to then run them through water again to get rid of the ink!

I also missed one step above, after soaking un ordinary water, I drained and then soaked in shallow distill water

Any tips or suggestions would be great

Thanks

Before I tell you how to do: please search the forum, because I have mentioned this in the past. Using shallow destilled water is NOT a good thing....

Really! Damn! I've already done this

I've tried searching for 'how to clean print head'
Too many results
I've looked at your posts - you have 1500+ posts
So, and not sure where to look

Can you give me a link?
Thanks

Thank you very much for that search tip Tudor. :D I have often had problems with the forum search engine.
