    What is Caon Doing with their new printers

    What I'm hoping for is information from those who actually own these new printers. Since I don't have access to them, I can't do the checking myself. However, I can tell you what to look for. These are things that I have seen Canon do to LOWER THE TOTAL COST of the product,.. and in my...

    MX860 all-in-one: worse than MX850/MP830

    Marck,..Thanks for letting us know about the new ink-Printer technology. I tend to spend so much of my time working on current stuff I forget to raise my head every now and then and look around for what is new. Looking close at the BASIC printer, it is just a new model of the MPXXX line...

    Epson Stylus Pro 7600 CIS system--Need Help

    Websnail,... It turns out the all the ink carts plug into a housing that has similar features as any Epson ink cart. Each Cart plugs into a serparate port that seems to be air tight, and when you remove the ink cart there is no air intake, so all of the ink stays in the very long tube. Of...

    MX860 all-in-one: worse than MX850/MP830

    It is my hope that Canon will continue to produce excellent printers for the high end market. I don't care if they also have a line of competitive printers to offset HP,... but I really want them to keep making excellent top line stuff. What I consider to be some of the best printers that...

    Websnail, ghwellsjr,... I was given the first 2 by some friends in the area who only had them about a year and they both broke. The third unit I got when I purchased a new laptop for my self. I was shocked when I started to repair them as the outside designs are very traditional Canon and...

    MX860 all-in-one: worse than MX850/MP830

    Websnail,... long time no see.... I've also seen some new Canon printers that are really built for the lowest possible cost and they have stripped out so many critical parts that these printers are just throw away items. I'm talking about the New BoXy MP210, MP310 MP460, (not the MP450) that...

    Failed to unclog

    I can't let these posts pass without adding my comments. Jettec is one of the ink mfg and sellers that package their ink as "Universal Compatible", and state that they will work in all kinds of printers. Most of the INKJET Masters know this is a false statement and would never waste or time...

    Just something to test if you get a clog

    nanosec,... I've been refilling the same iP6600d ink carts for over 2 years and have not had to flush them yet. Of course I have always made sure I NEVER EVER LET ANY CART RUN DRY. I ALSO TRY AND PRINT SOMETHING EVERYDAY, WHICH ALLOWS ME TO PLACE CLOSE ATTENTION TO INK LEVELS AND QUALITY...

    Unclogging Canon Printheads

    nanosec,... I believe several people have mentioned how dangerous it is to apply excessive heat to the bottom of the printhead, especially myself. I destroyed one printhead testing it with just very hot water, and steam is WAY beyond that. There are two items that can be damaged. The first...

    iP5200- absolutely no yellow despite cleaning- time for a replacement?

    JonM,... The acknowledgement is the flashing red light. If you are still getting an "ink low message" for the yellow, the printer still things it is monitoring that ink. Here are two things to try. 1. Unplug the printer for a couple of hours,.. then try it again. 2. Go into the...

    Where to get tiny Canon parts? (MP830 paper sensor lever QC1-6217-000)

    niftylogue,.... Call Canon parts department at 1-732-521-7230 and ask for the parts department. Once they answer tell them you need to order a part for you MP830 and give them the part number. This will be a credit card order. Hopefully they have it in stock. Your other option would be...

    iP5200- absolutely no yellow despite cleaning- time for a replacement?

    JonM,...The first thing I would suggest is that you remove the printhead and clean the contacts on the back of the head and inside the carriage asm. In all the switching and cleaning you did you may have contaminated one or more of the contacts. Also, does the printer acknowledge the yellow...
