Hi guys,
I have a Brother MFC990CW inkjet of which I am using refillable cartridges. I know this printer is close to a decade old, but everything is (mostly) working properly and I keep it serviced nicely so I'm just trying to squeeze as much life as I can out of it.
The only issue I am having is that the magenta color clogs up very frequently and I have no idea why. I've been having this problem for the last year and my solution has been to print full color pages regularly to unclog it. However, once it unclogs, a few days later it it will streak again. I have already taken the printer apart and forced a cleaning solution through the inkjet nozzles (distilled water and alcohol) but the problem always comes back. Strangely I am not having any problems with the other colors.
Does anyone have any ideas? Are there certain brands of bulk refill ink that might be better at not clogging? Or perhaps there's something I can add to the ink to help it?
