Could you please show the result of the latest nozzle test print? It looks like a recurring pattern.

Don’t give up the one flashing twelve times. Carefully check for paper parts, especially at the purge unit. Check whether you can move the parking station. This area is spring loaded ans should move up and down an sometimes even sidewords. Take away the side panels ans check for free movement of...

I am pretty sure, that your whole nozzle test looks bad. For all of use it would have been better to post the complete picture of the nozzle test.

Found this on manualslib. But I don’t know which other printer might have the same one.

I am pretty sure that it doesn’t matter for greeting cards whether you have four, five, six or even more inks. It is extremely hard to distinguish prints from each other made on the different printers in a small format on the same paper. They may look different, but which one is the right one...

What inks have you used or are you using now?

Congratulations for achieving this many prints on the printer. How many printheads have you used so far? Cheers, Maximilian

I had the same issue with TS5050 and error 5100. First I had to clear the error, than I was able to enter service mode. But on a MG5753 it was possible to print the service information, showing ink pads full. Maybe it is different between printers. I would try to reset the the counter. If there...

Here is a small list with error codes I found on firmware.help But sometimes it’s the used service tool itself. Not all you can find in the internet work correctly. After some misses I bought mine on eBay for 5$ and it works on all printers I could test it. Not my text. Is from Firmware.help...

Here is a good lists of software which supports color management. https://fotovideotec.de/cms_tauglichkeit/

This one of the printers which have been heavy used with refill inks. The reset is easy with a combination of the buttons. Only a few people disassembled them to clean the ink pads. I have MG5350 here with Error 5b00 waste pads full. I had it standing upright for a week without ink coming out...

Worked for me all the time. But you are right, it might happen. But think about sending a used printer somewhere. Even with full inkabsorbers it can be sent to service without big problems.

Yes, and there are even paper gamuts, which can exeed ProPhoto RGB in small areas. So even with the best monitor printers can print colors you can’t see on the screen. That’s why soft proofing is a simulation. This is why you have to develop your picture to the aimed ink/paper/printer...

Most of the time that are the rollers which grap the paper. Take out the paper cassette and turn over the printer. You should see two greyrollers with rips on it. Take a wet towel with some dish cleaner liquid and clean this two rollers along the small rips. You can turn these rollers with the...

What is wrong with your actual printer?

The cheaper the paper basis is, the more away from white it is. Normally the paper is more to yellow. To compensate OBAs are used, as it is also done long in textile industry. You don’t need much UV to see the effect. A fluorscent lamp or even LEDs are emitting UV. If you handhold the paper it...

This brings me to the question with larger gamuts. If you compare the colors at the boundary of two gamuts, where one is maybe 10% larger than the other, are the deltaE great enough to see a difference? It is just about the discussion, about large gamuts. Sometimes I see with Iccview or...

That’s very interesting with low and high L*. The maximum white is not that visible to everybody without direct comparison. But the missing deep blacks lead to crunched shadows. A lot of people don’t look at is, as long as the print has bright and saturated colors. Even if the paper limits them...

I have the same experience with low cost papers. The next problem is, you don’t know what’s in the package the next time you buy this again. for me it’s not only the gamut. Also found banding and the surfaces are not very robust. Cheers, Maximilian

Try to power up the printer without the printhead. If you get the error message that printhead is missing, than normally it’s not the mainboard
