This worked with the older printers. I used to fight clogs when switched to 3rd party 100% pigment ink. The ear syringe and winded or 409 always worked wonders. That said, I run nozzle cheeks every 3-5 days on birth my 3880's. When I forgo any let them sit idl a few weeks, it took several cleaning cycles and lots of wasted ink to get them unclogged. InkjetMall has an excellent cleaning fluid for this.

1. Printer papers are not designed for wet processing. This is ink, not light sensitive silver. 2. Lighter shades are not created by diluting the inks. 3. Just curious, you stated you're " not about to reprint the image". I interpret that to mean you'll live with the area darker before you'd reprint it. Why not adjust the file and reprint?
