You're the Irish branch of Von Masoch's followers .. :hide

That GX range of Maxify printers is hugely overpriced IMHO. Megatank GX models cost almost twice as the equivalent Maxify model that uses cartridges. Canon charges you in advance for the savings in ink cost that they consider you'll make purchasing bottles instead of cartridges. As @The Hat...

Don't worry @The Hat. If the most devastating gales can't damage your mighty lamp post., hornets aren't a problem. Those buggers are really tough. Just ordinary domestic hornets, not Imported Asians. I have an electric device for killing flying insects ( you know, those things that look like a...

Anything but CURA. Those who created this abomination and still keep updating it should be in jail for the rest of their lives ... Compared to them, the Marquis of Sade was a harmless phylantroper.

I’ve never been much interested on multimaterial/multicolor machines. thinking that it's an awful waste of time and filament. In many cases (not always, of course ) multicolor prints can use clever designs where the final model is made assembling different parts printed separately. No waste at...

Are you endorsing spam.. ? :oops::p

Not all printers are the same. Even within models of the same brand there're huge differences sometimes. I know for experience that Maxifys couldn't care less if you let them plugged to the mains or not. Mine is stored on a shelf most of the time, power cable disconnected. When I need to print...

I didn't know that September 6th. is Wicklow's April fools' day. :p At this point, I don't care anymore about price or availability of these Canon Pro printheads. When the printhead of my Pro-10s eventually fails, it's good-bye to the printer and I'll send for free the cartridges and...

Big price difference between the British sites and the French vendor E-parts. Maybe in the UK they're importing them from the USA ?. Whatever the reasons, It seems that nowadays Canon Pro printheads become more and more difficult to find from genuine sources, at least at reasonable prices...

I gather that Epson doesn't says what happens to a piezoelectric printhead when it gets irreversibly clogged ( and that happens as often or more than in a Canon printer, I know by experience ). Clue. : no Epson spare printheads available to the user -> Either you ditch the printer or you send...

Yes, that's one of the Maxify weird "features"... after a while you get used to it. "Infected" color is a bit strong, though :p

Are you using original Canon inks or third party ?

I hope that you purchased it from a genuine dealer who gets that printhead directly from Canon. It seems that lifespan of Canon printheads hasn't improved lately, rather on the contrary...

My Pro10s sees very little use nowadays. ( I reduce printing costs by not running the printer... :rolleyes: ). In all likelihood, the compulsory cleaning cycles use more ink than the actual ink layered on paper. Not a wise policy, I know, because the less you print, more chances of eventual...

I think you're right. Looks like they replaced Tasktron for Canon spares in the UK. Their price, ( VAT included ) is much more expensive than the French site. Possibly they import the printheads from the USA ?
