Photos and pointing arrows would be nice...while you're waiting for things to dry....

Picked up a Deskjet HP932c workhorse in Value Village for $5.99 plus tax. It had a full 45 black cart and an empty 78 colour. I put some universal ink in the colour cart and literally breathed new life into it until the yellow appeared. Left it to soak all night in some Windex and then did a...

I have a Canon I850 which displays the same symptoms with Cyan. 'Standard' printing is mediocre;'High' printing is good.

Please don't take the head apart. If possible, post an image of the nozzle check or service print. If the head was starved for ink I would think the nozzle check would change at each time, whereas a particular failure of one of the nozzles should show a consistent pattern. Service settings can...

I think Defcon is right and Canon is not. If the 'N' block is supposed to be photo black (according to Canon) then something is telling the printhead to use Yellow and Cyan in error. But it sure looks like it's supposed to be a composite of CYM which means the magenta is missing. I printed a...

My point was to select 'photo' paper and print a sheet of black text on regular paper. Since it's 'photo' it should use the bci6 photo black only and no other colours. I reasoned then that if the black came out green, there was either contamination into the photo black or the wrong...

Since the Photo black is only used when the paper type is set to photo, what happens if you print a sheet of black text ? Either it's black or some odd leak (which only appears when printing photos) is mixing in with the black. Or the printer is confused because a setting (profile?) or driver is...

I think that covering the ink outlet would also be a step :)

Perhaps not relevant to your model, however I tried this with an i850, but there was a problem. I figured that the little white 'tit' (you can see it on the extreme right of the printer when the head is out of the way) was what prevented the head from moving when it was parked. There is a notch...

This used cart was one of four in a printer that I received from a re-cycler.I don't know their origin.The tanks had no markings except numbers stamped on the side;an example is 'C309111'.The others have different numbers. The 3e has a one piece sponge while the 6e's are two part. I flushed...

This shows the difference between an oem and a third party cart when using the injection method of refilling. The angle described by the needle in this third party cart depends on the depth of the filter (how deep into the sponge) and the plastic extension which positions the tank in the...
