Printhead cleaning Canon BJC-8200

[Steve's Mail]

Is there a safe way to clean the head. Have done all I can (clean, deep
clean and alignment) and still comes out streaking white.
Is faithful printer, don't wish to buy new one.

No promise of safety...
1. Dipping of head bottom without cartridges in isopropyl alcohol
with some drops from the "hole" corresponding above
2. Replacing "bad" ink with empty cartridge with some isopropyl alcohol
inside
(using syringe to fill) and print denser and denser rectangles of
the
corresponding colour

PS. Does PP-101 realy supersede PR-101 OR just go in parallel ?

Try hot steam.
