Sure there is, you soak that crap out of some strong paper towels, the squeeze the excess hot water out, go in there with your fingers, and start scrubbing, pressing down, turning the tow, over, when see the solid colors, don't use that side again, when the towel has absorbed, all it can, do the same procedure till only trace amounts come up, use a small rod if necessary.
When you have completed this, go in with a rolled p couple of dry ones to soaked up the excess ink sponge, using the rod to stick into them, and eventually that section will be clean enough. Tape some paper on to the end of the rod, and use it as a cleaning implement.. Once that section is clean, do
NOT run the ink cartridges through a cleaning cycle, this only wastes ink. The best was is to print something with the Text and Picture" format, this allows the nozzles tow work, and clean themselves out.
The cleaning cycle uses ink to try and clean the nozzles, it wastes a lot of ink and rarely works. You only do this after you have cleaned the rollers, and have flushed the Nozzles as
I have instructed above. You will be quite surprised how much you printer will come back. If you have residue on the sides, that will tell you which roller is dirty, either just keep printing the same paper, flipping over and around, to soak up the ink, if it is a massive amount, you missed a roller. That should do it though.
Also, when you put the ink cartridges back ink, shake them, making sure your finger is over the hole(to keep the ink it, use a paper towel to keep it off your fingers), and then try to have the cartridges charged with the computer unplugged. Let the printer operate on it's own software. This way you won't get a "Low Ink" reading on the cartridges, which are not actually measured, but calculated as when they need to be changed, some still half full. This is the "rip of" of inkjet printers. I bypass this as I refill my own cartridges, and charge them with the printer controls, disconnected from the computer.
