...and 5 Union Pacific locomotives (and a LONG freight) rumble by on one of the last original stretches of the Transcontinental Railway.

Oh boy! More headless and cartless printers on Craigslist and eBay. Best way to overcome a filled waste ink diaper...

Here you go...rain and virga veil the view across the Laramie Valley.

I'm stick'n to PLAIN PAPER (whatever that is)!

I also topfill. Part of my process is to keep the vent and outlet hole sealed during refilling. I refill until the clear plastic tab at the top of the ink reservoir side touches the ink. I install the silicone plug on the reservoir...THEN... ...I remove the outlet seal and squeeze the...

Yours truly removed the outlet clip of a new OEM cart before removing the serpentine vent cover (yeah, it's possible, just not easy)...AT 7400' ALTITUDE! The cart must have been filled near sea level. It equalized pressure....OUT THE OUTLET (what a mess)!

I can agree that Canon print heads have a design lifetime, probably based (loosely) on nozzle firing count, else they won't make it through the warranty period. I doubt that there's an actual "nozzle firing" register in the firmware that, when reached, initiates some sort of disabling function.

Canon pint heads "die" for several reasons. The most common (IMO) is the extreme current duty imposed on the microelectronics and microconductors in the print head nozzle "die" (no pun intended). To increase the life of a thermal (eg, Canon) print head: PRINT SLOWER! (use "night" or "quite"...

Don't give up yet...if a nozzle check shows ANYTHING in the PGBK matrix, even very faint lines, the PGBK nozzles are firing. Good luck.

Wow...so much...GREEN!!!

If you want B&W text docs only, I second the vote for a cheap monochrome laser printer.

I would like to see one of Hat's neighborhood view...maybe several!

Go ahead and print away. It's been downsized (1920 x 751) to fit into forum acceptance, the original size is 8404 x 3288, which would print better...

OK, OK...here's some of my neighborhood this week ...

If you refill either toner or ink, the largest cost of document printing becomes the PAPER!

The only sure way I know of to get single carts to print single swaths is through a nozzle check. "Inputting" RGB color levels has to pass through the driver, which then can mix inks in a proprietary way.
