jhoulden,... I've just posted a response to your other questions on the MP830. PrecisionColors.com is located in Canada and they will provide you the best ink and the best refill kit. DO NOT TRUST ANY INK ANYWHERE UNTIL YOU KNOW WHO IS THE MFG. SOURCE. The owner of this business is a...

jhoulden,...As you can tell from reading on this forum, there are many ways to clean a printhead that has become cogged. However, I would suggest that you start refilling your own ink and using the best quality ink for it. Start by using only Canon OEM carts and modify them for refilling...

I'm glad this thread got started,.. and Ihope more people add their comments about some of the new Canon Printers. About 6 months ago I posted a new thread about the changes that Canon was making to some of their printer lines. It is not some much a line, as I think they are trying to be...

ghwellsjr,... When you close the cover the entire purge unit does a WIPE CYCLE which is the same as doing a cleaning cycle but the head is moved away. The unit is basically cleaning the purge station of residual ink. It does this all the time, just like when it cycles the wiper blades to...

ghwellsjr,...It's good to hear from you,.. but not so good to hear about your printer problems. As far as the purge unit, if the water stays on the pad after one cycle, there is clearly a problem with the purge unit. I know you are thinking,... why doesn't it just drain and the answer is...

pourhaus,... All of the suggestion were a good first attempt at correcting your purge problem,.. but since they did not work the problem is deeper inside the purge unit. I have helped many people fix this same problem and in fact I have an MP530 on my bench right now with the same problem. No...

Tom C,... For any of the Canon Printers, the ink absorbers are at the absolute bottom of the plastic base, and to get at them and remove them for cleaning you have to disassembly the entire printer and remove the main chassis from the base. It is not difficult to do is you know what you are...

Jeffers,... Before you do anything,.. tell us more about the flashing lights. Sometimes this error message does not mean the printhead. What have you done to clean the head. What ink are you using. Are you refilling your own ink. What ink carts do you use for refilling. How many...

Tom C,... Set your printer on a separate power strip and change the settings so it NEVER is turned off. Each time the printer is turned on it may do a cleaning cycle which will dump 10-15 times as much ink as you would use to print just a nozzle check. So you know where it ink is going, down...

lin,,,... DuraBrite is the trademark name for high quality Epson ink. The people that are using the Durafirm name are just trying to use a similar name that sound familiar to many since it has been heavily advertized.

Manuchau,... This information is great to know. When you refill the TrueStar, since the ball is already gone and replaced with some kind of plug, how do you refill it???? I been fixing Canon and HP printers for several years and have sold many on eBay. I also retill ink for a few people in...

Manuchau,... Now you have me really confused... Who just went out of business,.... Atlanticinkjet,.... or TrueStar. If it is TrueStar, then what are they using now for Compatible ink carts. I would assume that they still get used original Canon ink carts and fill them again and put a new...

Manuchau,... if this is true, why won't these ink carts work with the resetter. Atlanticinkjet.com is the site where I bought the resetter???? I'll give them a call tomorrow and confirm what you have said. However, I have already modified the cart to refill the ink and it was not a...

I want to thank all of you for the quick response. Now the problem is, where can I buy Good Resettable compatible ink carts. The place where I customer is getting her ink carts is Atlanticinkjet.com and the box that these ink carts come in has absolutely no information on it. The top of the...

I had a local customer with a problem on her MP530 today and when I checked her ink carts they were of course empty. She did have several extras on hand but she was out of the Cyan, so I refilled it for her until she could order some more compatible ink carts. Once I refilled it, I put it...

To all that have read this thread. I can't believe how old this note is and how far I have progressed. It has been a little over two years and since that time I have repaired many dozens of printers and have become what i consider an expert on Canon Printers. So much so that I have created...

birdy176,... sorry to be so late in responding, but as you can see some of the Inkjet Masters from this site have helped you solve your problem. I have every confidence that the same will work on your iP4000. Both of these printers are some of the best and last that have used the BCI-6/3...

I just corrected my last post on this thread. The wording was so bad it did not make sense. Anyway, I think it is clear now.

To all of those interested,... the most recent prices for printheads for just about all of the early printers using the BCI-3 or BCI-6 ink carts are now running about $48 plus shipping from Canon.

yupkime,...The two missing colors are the Photo Cyan and the Photo Magenta. Your printer only has 5 ink carts so the printhead has additional nozzles bank that creates the Photo Cyan & Magneta. They are 2 picoliter nozzle size for this printer. It is entirely possible that those nozzle...
