It seems that I'll be starting the year with one of those 'I.disagree.with.the.Hat' posts. Almost forgot about them. :D
I wouldn’t advice PLA for outdoor prints enduring hot weather and lots of sun. If you lived in Arizona instead of Ireland, the arms of your magnificent 3D lamppost would be...
No solution other than replacing the printhead. This was no clog but failure of the electronic component controlling the firing of the nozzles on this yellow stripe.

No stock of QY6-0084 (printhead for Pro-100/200) or QY6-0085 (for Pro-10/300) at reliable websites in continental Europe.
Forum member Palombian discovered a UK website that, apparently, has these...
AFAIK yello gello is ( or was ) a problem with OEM yellow dye ink for CLI-42 carts and some aftermarket inks.
Never heard of this about any Canon pigment ink. Besides, in my case it was ink from PGI-2500XL carts and GI-56 bottles. Both inks being pigment OEM for Maxify printers, eventual...
I've been refilling the black carts with Inktec since I purchased my first Maxify years ago. Never a problem with clogs or anything, unlike the cyan cart on my first printhead and the yellow on the second.
The reason of the issues with cyan and yellow OEM ink it's probably not Canon's fault but...
I have to clarify that the troublesome yellow channel used first the ink from a Canon original PGI-2500-XLcart. After that I refilled with yellow ink from Canon GI-56 bottles. Both OEM inks but, I assume, with somehow different formulation.
Maybe the printhead didn't like the mixture of inks...
Yes, if all the nozzles are firing correctly. Not if, in spite of using only OEM ink, the yellow channel is almost totally blocked.
Guess whose Maxify falls in the second category.. :rolleyes:.
Shocking news indeed about Tasktron and Canon new policy as well. As I suspected, they seem to be closing all doors for fixing printers with problems, not only to final users but vendors as well. Now, what happens if the printhead of your Pro10/100/200/300/1000 fails, you have no spare and the...
Might be but, in that case, most webs usually say something like :
"Currently doing maintenance tasks. We'll be back ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience"
Instead, when you try to enter the site you get : "HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found."
Thanks for the link, it might be useful in the future. The price is a bit over the top, though. When/if C1-Supplies has the printhead in stock again we'll see how much it costs there.
Although I'm not looking for a spare printhead, I check regularly the webs of C1-Supplies in Germany and E-parts in France. Fact is that the printhead for the Pro-10/Pro-300 (QY6-0085) has been out of stock already for some time. These two vendors are the most reliable sources for genuine Canon...
Nice job. :thumbsup
I don't recall when I printed on CD/DVD for the last time. For sure it was years ago.
In fact, I never used my Pro-10 for these tasks. Must have been with my long gone Pro-9000 or a Pixma 4000/4500.
Hopefully you didn't print this tray on Flex filament. :p
If you print a lot yes, but if you're doing 100 sheets per month, then a tank printer is a dubious investment in the long term. With that low amount of prints, you'll never save enough in ink to make it for the premium price paid in advance for the printer. In top of that, there's the the...
Have you personal experience with Voron printers (or Bambulabs, for that matter ) or are you making all these assertions based on wild guesses, hearsay or youtube videos ?.
Nobody sells assembled Vorons because these printers aren't products manufactured by a commercial company, like Prusa, Bambulabs, Creality or other brands. As they say, you don't purchase a Voron, you build it. No warranty or post sales support from the manufacturer because there's none...
Down here we have a refrain that can be translated as : people who has nothing else to do, comb the cat..
I guess that some guys like combing underwater..:p
BTW that printer is a modified Prusa MK3S. A machine rather outdated nowadays, but very reliable and long lasting.
Considering the hefty premium price of the Canon Maxify GX megatank series, in all logic the ink feeding unit should far more sophisticated and trouble free than the tubing system used on cheaper Pixma megatank printers. Sadly, it seems that this isn’t the case.
I feel your pain...:mad:
If it's the same printhead model, as most reports say, for sure it would work on both printers.
As for replacing your Pro-10 with a Pro-300, if I were you I'd think it twice before taking the plunge. A new printhead for your Pro-10 will restore it to full functionality and it's much cheaper than...
I can't find this auction number on eBay. Maybe it's been cancelled.
Which price it was ?.. If on the cheap side (50 euro/pounds or less ), then for sure it isn't new.
I found three sales from Germany advertised as new with some chance of being genuine. The vendors 'swear' that the printhead is...
