Stubborn black ink system

Stubborn black ink system I'm trying to resurrect a machine that sat idle for number of years. Went through the Brother scripted routines including cleaning, purging and contacting Authorized service then tried the youtube soaks , cleaner injection etc but sill no black ink out of the head

The manual did not solve the problem with my current printhead but it opens the possibility of replacing the head in the future when I have more time available.

"I had 2 different Brother Ink Jet Printers that had plenty of cartridges, but the GoodWill had stored them for some time, did the Brother Clean Method. but still had lots of “crud” worthless, so nothing to lose.

found a pipeete - several old clean grease rags, removed the cartridges, placed the grease rags under the opening, and into where the cartridges went. with pipette forced/skirted alcohol into openings, all four, and flushed out, this also will help clean the head area. after 4 time flushing. cleaned mess, inserted the Cartridges back, did the clean and check replacement cartridges, ea succession of test was better. did the remove and pippette alochol again, 3 times,

this time on insert cartridges, and test, it was almost perfect…. any way good enough the GoodWill was able to Sell for a nice profit… I did my work FREE."
