    Re: Help! How to remove printer ink

    On a related note, a newspaper fell into my printer and jammed it recently, and as a results it got some ink on the bit below where the paper passes through, and it doesn't seemt to dry; I now get a big black smudged line on the back of any documents I print. Is there any way to fix this?

    Re: Help! How to remove printer ink

    After having a similar issue a few weeks back the best method I found was to use diluted bleach to get rid of the ink from your hands etc.

    Seemed to work well for me however I did have a full continous ink system fail and leak all over me, luckily none went on the carpet however.

    I once placed the CISS in a wrong position (too high) and it kept leaking on the paper :S
    I just let the printer dry and it seems to work fine.
