    Strange Behavior of Cyan

    I have been getting these annoying lines when printing to plain paper, the problems goes away when I use high quality setting, the strange part is I have always used the Standard setting when printing photo paper and plain paper, and this problem is recent, I swapped the printhead to another...

    Changing Colors

    I totally agree with you that CLI-8 does much better with HC, I have tested the ink with IP4500, IP4300, and the IP4200, but the green or blue cast is also present with Canon ink, it was a punch in the eye with the first print and a new IP4600. I know a profile will correct the problem, but I...

    Changing Colors

    Ive been using HC inks, everything looked fine on a Canon IP4500, then I purchased the IP4600, the IP4700, and the MP620 I perceived the newer printers had a green cast even with OEM ink and with my refills using HC ink. I agree with you the prints are great, but the color shift is a fact I...

    3 year recap: PGI5 72 refills, CLI8's(orig) 25 refills, never purged

    I have a similar story,maybe my carts were refilled up to 5 times a month, 2 1/2 years using HC inks and they are acceptable, just a little weeks ago had them replaced by empty virgins. I read a post that stated that the carts being punctured 100 times didnt seem to affect the sponge and the...

    No PGI-5 pattern in nozzle check

    What I did to fix the same was filling a syringe (with its needle) with hot water and directing the jet to the nozzles of the printhead and the mesh in the ink inlet, filled the syringe twice, dried the head well taking care of electronics being dry, and it was perfect nozzle check for the PGI-5.

    Nozzle cleaning needed after printer is idle overnight

    The problem is with the cartridge, just get a new one, or an empty virgin and use the german durstich method if you use top filling may sure the cart is perfectly sealed otherwise you will get this to happen.

    Repeated Canon Printhead Clogging...

    1.I always do the same, I read in a review that if its sits idle it consumes 0.8 watts thats next to nothing, plus you have it printing right away when you need to. 2.Just drilled a hole over the reservoir, let water run until the sponge was plain white, let the carts dry several days under...

    Repeated Canon Printhead Clogging...

    I was thinking I never turn my printer off, when you turn your printer off for a while when you turn it on it makes a slight cleaning, and the purge blade cleans the head, well I also print in plain paper regularly in color so all colors are used, and these prints should clean the nozzles in...
