i did a search for ajax no matches i don't think they're sold in the uk anymore :(

i've put back print head and no change :( see this link: http://ge.tt/8LYjgTN/v/0 i've uploaded a pdf of the nozzle check print outs altogether, i've now done maybe 15 deep head cleans i don't think i want to assemble the ingredients to create pharmacists solution - i'd have to spend 20 - 30...

i went into halfords where other posters have said i can buy an equivalent of windex they didn't have the item :( so... i'm a little stuck right now!

i've no idea! but... for me that's a consideration whether controlled or not i have little ones who will get up to lots of things! not sure i want to store away large amounts of substances that i only actually need a a few ml of maybe i'd be better off buying a solution of a seller on ebay...

i need a solution now - my attempts to clean a print head using just water have failed i did a search on ebay for the ingredients required i only found propylene glycol - but then i don't want too or need to buy 500ml! isopropylalcohol and ammonia not found distill water - ok i can get this...

@fotofreek, thanks for the advice i've got about 4/5 print heads lying around that i need to clean i might look into putting together all ingredients - but would just prefer if a nice person had it all ready made for me :) there's a few sellers on ebay who look like they sell home made brews -...

@fotofreek... i'm going to what u say and will install right now! i was planning to do a 48 hour dry out just to be safe :) i'll post back if i have problems thanks!

@fotofreek, thanks for that - really helpful something else... the yellow ink cart has very very dark yellow ink in i'm not 100% sure if it was like this in the beginning this was brand new - only purchased a few months ago and not even had a hole screwed in yet to refill - i'd say it has 80%...

i'd much rather just go and buy the one recommended on another thread on this forum - the halfords window cleaner question: if i check the ingredients and it DOESN'T have ammonia - should i not buy? i.e. they might have updated the cleaner or something? thanks

anyone?

My yellow ink doesn't print for my MP640. I hardly use the printer (I'm assuming this is the root cause - ink drying?) Can someone advise what I need to do to clean? I've done some googling and utubing. There's plenty of advice - that's the problem, there's tooo much advice Youtube: I've seen...

thanks for the replies guys i'm going to call canon on monday and ask for a warranty repair from past experience i know that they will want me to send in the whole damn printer this will cost me just under 10

@thehat, thanks for the reply see following for a nozzle check print: http://i.imgur.com/Yhl4Q.jpg i refill using german method and inks *always* purchased from octoink i noticed the problem 2 weeks ago - this was the same time i refilled funnily enough too much of a coincidence? i can only...

Canon MP640: I've done several deep head cleans but my colours are still printing with streaks Does this indicate a a fault with the ink carts or the print head? My printer is still under Canon warranty - should I request for the problem to be fixed? I would have to incur the charge of sending...
