I am in the midst of doing a capping station change and read in the notes that it's ok to do a very light wiping of the print head with the foam tip swab- which i did and notice this little stain on the head that didn't go away- is this an issue?

Reason: no longer an issue - wiped away
The only reason I can tell to do a LIGHT swab is not to push more foreign matter into the pores of the head. That spot doesnt look like it is in the way of the nozzles so I think you are ok. If you look close you will see 7 lines across the short way of the head. Those represent the 7 colors of the ink lines where the ink comes out. be careful of those and you wil be fine.
thanks for your answers... do you guys know - what the ink jet flush solution is... i have a 60 ml bottle of it and it has a reddish pink color to it?
The current FastInk cleaning solution is clear. I believe the solution that was reddish pink was replaced by the clear solution over a year and a half ago. I would suggest getting the clear solution as it is stronger. Since it's clear it would also not have any possible tinting issues with white ink.
anyone have tips on cleaning the intake nozzles for the printhead where the ink cartridges sit into?
Occasionally I take a alchohol (medi) swab and with tweezers gently clean the nozzles. I'm kind of worries sometimes that I may be pushing more debris into those tiny little holes. About every half year thought I backflush the head to dislodge any particles that might have dried up in the nozzles or the head itself. Like to hear how others clean the nozzle too.

iN ADDITION WILL A STANDARD (genuine) EPSON 2200 REPLACEMENT PRINT HEAD WORK WITH THE T-jet 2 or is the one offered on USSP website a modified epson print head? - thanks
i ended up taking the printer head out and was surprised how easy everything is to do on the t-jet... about 10 min to remove the print head and far less to change out the capping station.
