Turns out my Epson Charm PM-225 clogged and ran out of ink.  This damn dye-ink printer does it once a week and it just did it again.  One small missing diagonal and the prints show a fine light-colored/white line every 3-4mm in the print.  I'm going to start wrapping it in plastic with a wet towel and see if it stops clogging.

So I ran its cleaning maintenance which wastes a lot of ink, and it ran out of ink on the cyan.  Bad part is you have to buy both the ink cart (all colors) as well as the paper a s a bundle, about $40-$50 depending on local store. Seems I never get the entire 150 sheets timed with its cartridge as it always runs out of ink around 80 prints, but Epson buys the blanks back at 30 cents each.  Prints do look very good - when it works right.  People like printing with it in the field as it runs on a snap-in battery.

Does QU operate the Unclogger with smaller paper printers like the Canon and Epson portables that only accept smaller papers like 4x6 or 5x7?

Add:

Had to uninstall and reinstall the Epson drivers.  The first re-install of the drivers go stuck too.  Had to do a uninstall from the Device Manager and then the installation worked.  QU also operates now too with the small Epson Charm.

However, the clog on the cyan still was there and came back severly to the point only two of the cyan blocks on all the diagonals showed up in Epson Nozzle Check.  Took two flushings and more cyan came back and the magenta began to clog, or perhaps got some air due to the cart changeout.

Let it sit overnight and it is flowing and working again and all nozzles are firing.

I did notice that in the newest QU with the diagonals they are very faint compared to the Epson diagonals.  I could barely see them even with partially plugged colors or fully working ones.  I don't know if Epson has some special design and angle in their nozzle check pattern that picks up all the nozzles in their sloped design and thickness of the blocks in the staggered pattern.

Least it's working again, but seems to be the worst clogger I got out of 6 printers - and it is dye ink too!  I can be assured of a clog within one week with it, and when it loses only one bar in the Epson nozzle check it shows as a faint line about 2-3mm apart.
