Ultrasonic Inkjet cartridge rejuvenation

Hello everyone!
I am considering the purchase of an ultrasonic cleaner to try to experimentally rejuvenate clogged inkjet cartridges. I am hoping that the ultrasonic action will be able to break down the clogged, dried ink in the jets and disperse then into solution.
Previously, I have had great success just having the cartridges sit in a solvent solution and allow Brownian movent and capilliary action do the work overnite, but I want to see if ultrasonic cleaning methods would expedite the process.

Does anyone have any experience doing this?
Thanks,
Whipaway

The ultrasonic cleaner has arrived, and I am encouraged by preliminary results: I can clean a clogged cart in 6 minutes, as opposed to an overnite cleaning using my previous method.
