How to Use Cleaning Solutions:

1. Prepare the Solution:
   
   • For minor clogs, use the dual-action or triple-action cleaning solutions.
   • Opt for the MaxStrength™ red solution for severe clogs, but dilute it if necessary.
2. Application:
   
   • You can use an empty cartridge or a flushing tool to introduce the solution into the printhead.
   • You can follow your printer's cleaning cycle using the printer's built-in functions.
3. Wait Time:
   
   • Leave the solution inside the printhead for 12 hours to allow it to dissolve clogs effectively.
   • For more robust solutions like the red cleaning solution, avoid leaving it at 100% concentration inside the printer for more than 24 hours.
4. Final Steps:
   
   • After cleaning, replace the cleaning solution with regular ink.
   • Perform 3–5 printhead cleaning cycles to restore normal ink flow.

Important Notes:

• The MaxStrength™ solution is designed for advanced users and should not be heated. It should always be used at room temperature.
• Avoid using these solutions on solvent or eco-solvent printers.
• For best results, follow the recommended wait times and use the appropriate tools to deliver the solution to the printhead.
