Hello all,
I am new to this group. I belong to the website WetCanvas, and
lately they have had a thread about various frugal fixes for such
things as bad hard drives, dried-up ink, etc. It is in one of the
channels. The idea for dried up ink is to warm it up with a hair
blowdryer for awhile, which lets the ink flow again.

there are no workable fixes.

that won't rehydrate the ink. A soak in water or alcohol is the usual
method, the success rate is patchy though, I wouldnt bother. Theres
not much sense in going inkjet these days.

I'm not a big fan of inkjets either. But you can get quite decent
color output for $100, even $50, and price is often a concern. Where
can I find a color laser for that price?

Thats just plain wrong. I print almost nothing except the very very
occasional form I have to physically sign and post back and CD/DVDs.
Inkjet is the best way to print that.
