Since people read experiences others have and use them as a guide, I
just want to add a caveat.

Household ammonia can be between 5 and 10% ammonia in water solution.
Window cleaners are usually about 1% ammonia. A 50/50 mixture of water
and ammonia (assuming that's household concentration) is between 2.5 and
5% ammonia. This is probably higher than you would wish to use in most
cases, as the Epson heads are vulnerable to corrosive liquids at that
concentration.

A safer concentration is about 1-2%, especially is you will be leaving
things to soak with it.

I used Davy's idea of unplugging during startup to free up the printer head
assembly. I took a paper towel and soaked it in 50/50 ammonia and water and
layed it down and moves the printhead manually across it several times, them
left it sit on the towel for 15 minutes. I just printed as pretty a photo as
this thing is capable of, so thanks all. BTW, I'm using a CIS for this and I
wonder if I'm going to have trouble as a result.
