resistant brush supplied with the printer.

You must take particular care to ensure that the space between the
nozzle and charge electrode is free of solvent.
7. Wash the inside of the printhead cover tube with solvent until all ink
has been removed. Use the brush, where possible, to remove ink
deposits that do not immediately wash off. Finish the cleaning with a
wash and allow the cover tube to dry.
