Does anyone clean printer cartridges anymore? I haven't even tried refilling the color cartridge for my new sidewalk-printer,
abut while
looking into it I found this page with video. 3 or 4 methods.
Hot water
Special cleaner
Special jig and suck out dirt with syringe.
(Moderately) high pressure spraying with something
but the one that impressed me:
Taping the cartridge to your vacuum cleaner and sucking out the dried
ink. Should I use the upright vacuum, or the Shopvac?
Bottom video is about cleaning: https://support.bchtechnologies.com/hc/en-us/articles/200545279-How-to-refill-HP-60-61-62-63-64-65-74-75-901-OEM-Cartridges

You leave your printer outside on the sidewalk?

You never mentioned brand and model of your printer. You say you refill >which hints your unidentified printer (typical of you not to identify)
has ink wells. You also mention cartridges. Until you actually
identify your printer, expect responses to be vague and varied (or maybe
that was your intent to waste the time of respondents).
My suggestion if you're using cartridges:
- Don't refill them.
- Use lintless paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to clean the heads.
