Well, if you think about it thats what Epson needs, to make you buy more ink, so I doubt that software upgrade would help you save inks, not from Epson, thats for sure. However looking all over the place I found out that some people reported that instead of cleaning and cleaning and cleaning over and over, wasting ink, it worked to run one cleaning cycle, and than let the printer to sit overnight, one more cleaning in the morning and the head was printing just fine, they deducted that soaking cleaned the head, and it is obviously the way to preserve some ink. For me I noticed that when the ink cartridge is low on ink, it is worth putting new one right away and not clean over and over with a low ink running cartridge. I deducted that some of the streaking comes not from cloggs but from air getting into the ink channel whem the cartridge runs low. Please experiment and let us know what you think. I also think that generic inks clog a lot less, but than again it is all subjective experience with no scientific proof. Locotes wrote: Hi.

I own a 1280, and i've always had problems with my heads clogging up.I've come to terms with it, but what bothers me is that the Head Cleaning Utility really drains the ink, even if it's just one colour that's clogged up.needless to say, this costs me in the long run, so I just wanted to know if any body out there knows of a way to clean just 1 head, and not necessarily all of them all the time.? A software upgrade maybe? Thanks, Mike.
From time to time your printers print heads will require cleaning, this is an automatic process that attempts to clean off any dried on ink particles that are attached to the printer print heads, performing a head clean will improve the quality of your printing. There are a couple of ways in which you can perform a head clean, this step by step guide covers the most easily followed method by using the Windows printer properties within Windows 7. IMPORTANT NOTE: In Spain, because of the high temperatures we expierience in the summer it's not unusual to find that it is necessary to perform a printer head clean after the printer has not been used for a couple of weeks. Click the Windows start button (located in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, or press the Windows button on the keyboard) 2.
