Glad to hear you were able to clear the clog without having to experiment with bleach.

Ouch sounds like bad ink cost you lots of money.

Jtoolman did you take the printhead apart to see if the clog was at the nozzles or before the nozzles?

Thanks for the information. I saw a iP4700 at the thrift store and was just wondering about what they were like.

Joe don’t get rid of that 8500. In 15 years I have only seen one 8500 in a thrift store and I bought it. If nothing happens this winter I plan to sell all of my Canon printers except for one 3000.

What kind of reputation does the iP4700 have? Are they as prone to head failure as the iP4500?

Have you tried cleaning the contacts on the back side of the printhead with rubbing alcohol?

Thanks MartinOreg whatever these are they are going in the trash.

Much better thanks.

Congratulations Hat. I hope you have the power to delete my mistakes. LOL

This is the first aftermarket Canon cart I have seen that does not have the hold down tabs on the front of the cart. The felt disk in the cart has no pressure holding it down on the intake screen. The surprise is that the label says Staples Office Supply which is supposed to sell decent stiff...

I put some warm water in a pan or bucket and put just one drop of Dawn dishwashing liquid in the water. Then I take an old t-shirt and clean the rubber rollers one at a time with the printer unplugged. If the rollers don’t come clean that way use windex on the t-shirt.

Are you absolutely sure the power supply is dead? Canon ink printers have a history of bad logic boards and shorted printheads. I have a iP4500 that just powered off one day and would not power back up again. I can leave it unplugged for a week and it will power up for a few minutes and then...

It sounds like MJZ needs a complete list of printers that used CLI8 and PGI5 carts. MJZ where are you located?

PeterBJ thanks for the link to iJet fluid.

Reading this for the first time so what is - iJET WET Special Printer Head Preservation Solution-?

It is sad that the iP4500 is prone to electrical failures.

Thanks Hat I will have to pay closer attention to ink discussions here.

Hat thanks for going to the trouble of giving me the direct links. By any chance do you know what brand of ink Inkjet Cart sells?
