have the bottom base of the print cartridge sit overnight in a small bowl or cup with WD-40 in it. It works surprisingly well cleaning the nozzle out. Wipe off clean in the morning and then wipe with a known solvent such as lighter fluid and let dry for 15 minutes. REFILL IF NEEDED. Then run your printer with the refurbished cartridge using the cleaning cycle three times at least. You will be amazed!
