That's interesting. I have a junk cartridge for my HP 1600CM that I'd be
willing to try it on. Anyone know what's in 409 cleaner?

I don't know what is in it, but there used to be a spray surface cleaner
called Fantastik you could buy at any grocery store. I wouln't have
believed it if I hadn't seen it, but in grade-school my teacher used it to
remove the paint lines from our concrete basketball court.
From that experience, I wouldn't leave Fantastik to
soak very long on
**any** surface you care about......

408 failed attempts before they finally got it to work?

That was it's main selling point though, and what was
stressed in commercials for it. I've seen people use the military
version of 'Kool-aid' to clean vent screens and such and I used to
use colas, such as Coke and Pepsi, to remove rust from nuts and bolts.

No but I used to put 409 in the ultrasonic cleaner tank for my Kohinoor
drafting pens to clean the dried ink years ago, jewelry too.

I've used it to clean print heads on epson printers. Works in most
cases. The complete rundown on 409 can be found at
http://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~jsmith/MSDS/FORMULA%20409%20CLEANER.htm
One possible problem, Sodium Hydroxide < .5% could be damaging and
corrosive
to metalic parts.

A non-problem! Used on aluminum and rinsed off in a reasonable time it
causes no corrosion.
