I'm quoting you : “The black text comes out looking like dark magenta. However, when I print a straight text page in black, the black is solid black. “ That‘s easy to explain. When you print only text, the printer uses the black pigmented ink. If you mix text and graphics/photos in the same...

I would take this statement with lots of salt... If the printhead is the same of the Pro10/300 and a specific image requires all the available nozzles to be fired in order to print well that image, I don`t see any clever software doing the trick.. IMHO that's just Canon marketing bollocks to...

My MB5150 stays most of the time disconnected from the mains outlet (cable removed). I noticed that it performs considerably less automated cleanings than my Canon Pro10s, which remains always physically connected to the outlet wall. So, my mileage clearly differs from yours..

If the printer flashes in orange 4 times then it's a problem with the chip cartridge(s), not being recognized, either because there's no cart installed, or because the chip is defective or the contacts are oxidized. If the blinking was alternating orange/green lights then it would be purge unit...

Do you mean that you can't use Cura with the new printer ?. ( On second thoughts that's maybe a .blessing.. :D ) Seriously, if this ,machine is locked to their proprietary software, as it seems to be the case with Bambulabs, I wouldn't keep it even if it was free, but that's me. It seems...

Fast printers can run slower. It's up to the user to set the speeds. People seems so obsessed about speed. that they don't care about quality and reliability. Nevertheless, big printers need a very sturdy and steady bench to sit on and the sides/rear of the machine should be braced against the...

You answered yourself.. is that yellow ink. I gather it's dye an not pigment. How old it is and which brand ?. OEM inks are well protectd from algae/fungi contamination but that's not always the case with third party inks. One efect of this kind of contamination is increased viscosity and...

How many times we warned about buying Canon printheads from Ebay/Ali Express ?. I expect it's logical that people continue doing it with printheads discontinued by Canon long ago. but all the same I repeat : Listen please, ladies and gentlemen : Canon printheads purchased from non reputable...

Having my feet firmly rooted to the ground, I'm contented printing 1:18 scale models. :p Do you think that this guy will take enough revenue from youtube to pay for the tons of filament and electric energy involved in this crazy project. ?. I guess he forgot to feature in the video a couple...

Among the regulars in this forum, I don't recall anybody who owns a Canon Pro300/310. Maybe there're, I wouldn't know for sure. Most people here refills the carts. Until the Pro 10/100 generation that was feasible because there're chip resetters. Not so with the newer Pro 200/300/310. It seems...

I'm not complaining. The present printhead (the second of my Pro10s ) has behaved nicely for several years. Nevertheless, we all know that Canon printheads sometimes die suddenly for no apparent reason without a B200 error warning. Touching on wood.

I bet that the soap for the washing machine has a stronger smell than any filament. :p

I refill on a regular basis my two current printers : - Pro10s : mix of OEM and Octoinkjet inks. - Maxify MB5150 : OEM ink from G56 bottles for CYM colors and Inktec ink for Black. Fact is that nowadays I print very little. Almost no photos and not much text, so I guess that my Pro10s wastes...

Aren't you being a bit over the top with that "nasty gases" scare ?. Although I don't print ABS, all the other filaments -ASA included - smell very little. Yes, I print inside an enclosure, and I use a Nevermore filter ,but even leaving the doors open, there's nothing to complain in this matter...

Yeah, I forgot about that, those parts for the ,lampost must be quite huge. @Redbrickman is right, an enclosure is almost mandatory for printing large parts in ASA. Not only that; to prevent warping you'd need to set a large brim around the model and, depending on the printing surface, use...
