Anyone ever used this before? Usually $99 on offer for $40. Always thought it looked good, has support for the 1400 with sscserve doesn't. You can clean one channel rather than do a full clean every time.

The list shown on the main page is just the printers that are supported for Channel-Flush and alignment grid feature, others may be supported for other features but it's the channel flush that looks good. :(

Justin, it might be well worth a punt at that price. ;)

I reckon so. I wonder if the channel flush would just be the same as printing a solid block of the colour? Will have to read more about it.

From what I saw on You Tube it looks like it is.

Couple of other useful features so thought I'd give it a go. Paid my £25, now waiting for a reg code.

Very interested to hear how it's supposed to do single channel cleaning.

I was under the impression that this was a hardware limitation on desktop printers. There just isn't the space in the printer to have a pump dedicated to every ink channel so there's no physical way to do a single-channel head clean, and certainly not the facility to vary the strength of the cleaning as suggested in the video.

Let us know when you get it, Justin.

OK, website wasn't up to much, enough on there to place the order but no contact info easily found. Order placed using PayPal easily enough and a thank you email promptly received but had to wait until following day for reg code to be emailed across.

Reg code here now working fine. Main feature is the channel flushing which as far as I can see is just the same as printing a block of the colour, CMYK etc. It makes it easier to do this as you can select how much ink/resolution to flush at. You choose which channel(s) you want to flush.

Not much else of use really, that's really the main feature. It hasn't solved my problem, I have a blocked refil. cartridge that just isn't printing anything at all. Hadn't really expected a miracle from this software but thought it worth a try whilst it's reduced, it could well be handy in the future.
