C86 has a buildup problem on the heads, the worst I have seen.
Almost impossible to clean so I tried many ways. I do not like the following way but it works so far.
Get a piece of a 'tough' paper towel. fold a piece of that so it is three to four layers thick and as wide as the sponge area under the printing area.
Unlock the heads by turning on and unplugging.
Move the had all the way to the right.
Lay the towel on the foam area with the towel protruding on the right side about an inch.
Bring the head to the center, then back to the home once.
New towel, one more time.
Remove the towel, plug in and turn on.
The C86 leaves a ton of wet ink around the head compared to other machines. Once you turn it on in the morning, do not shut it till you are finished for the day. It does a head clean on virtually every turn on. What a waste of ink and creates a fast buildup.
