You may need to clean other parts in addition to the printhead and parking pad, for example the platen (the metal bar covered with rubber) and the rollers just above it, the pizza wheels, and generally inside the printer. We recommend that you do this with the power off, and with free access to move the printhead (How do I get at the printhead?). Use tissues (preferably lint-free) to wipe down the surfaces of ink-spatters. You may use cotton-buds (Q-Tips) in places but be careful about those little hairy bits! To clean ink from the rollers, we have found that cotton-buds soaked in cleaning fluid do the trick - you can use that cog (accessible on many printers, inaccessible on some) at carriage left to manually spin the rollers as you clean them. Do not attempt this by pressing form-feed with the power on - it is a very effective way of jamming your cleaning material into the printer!

One thing to try is to squirt some cleaning fluid on a sheet of scrap paper. With the power on, press the paper feed button to run the ‘cleaning sheet’ through the printer. Do this a few times, then do the same thing with a dry, clean, scrap-sheet to dry off the rollers. This is also a great way to clean up paper dust from the paper-take-up rollers - that can cause issues with paper feeding.

If you do get large blobs of ink into the pizza wheels - especially the double pizza wheels - you may have problems cleaning them in-situ. But do try, as leaving ink trapped there will most likely cause tiny spots of it to be deposited on your lovely prints!
Remember to return the printhead to the locked position once you have finished. You may also find it advisable to run several scrap sheets through the printer manually (using Form-feed button) to help pick up any leftover ink and / or solvent once you have the power back on.
