The clear ribbon is the encoder strip .. if it's marked badly it may cause timing problems with the carriage Depending on the position of droplets is may or may not affect your print outs Joe

The MP640 is a good printer it's about 96 UKP in Tokyo remember that it's uses those PGI-520/521 carts so you will need to get yourself a resetter or disable the ink monitoring Joe

For the Cli-221 RJet-Tek does them http://www.rjettek.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/1100 74USD not cheap

you could have a look at the Canon (UK) on Ebay http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/canon_uk1/ However that printer maybe too new Joe

Great Pictures .. does the unit give an acknowledgment that the cart was successfully reset ? I have some empty BCi-321 if you could try to reset them please Joe

In some of the earlier Canon printers that the ink carts weren't attached to the heads .. used foam inside the ink cart to drain the ink .. so then you changed the ink cart you replaced the waste tank .. nice idea I thought .. mind you the P/H was a total bitch to change.. Joe

This looks like the artech resetter http://www.rjettek.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/1100 76 USD ..

The sad fact is that Canon (JP) want you to buy a new printer with lower Cap Ink carts .. I used work in a service center in the UK and they still wouldn't let me buy a P/H Joe

I just bought a ip8600 P/H from them .. they are cheaper than officestoredepot just a shame I couldn't get it from Canon :( Joe

At least in the US you can buy P/H's in japan we need to send the printer in for repair as canon wont supply the P/H on it's own. My IP8600 PH has a dead element and I can't get a P/H for it .. it's strange Joe

I don't know if you can find a totally straight patch but the Canon IP4700 has a rear feed that may work for you Joe

Thanks for the offer .. I haven't gotten my IP4700 I was researching my options I have IP8600 (Same as a IP8500) at the moment and the P/H has a dead cyan element.. The only way I can get a P/H in japan is to send it to a service center and it's will cost more than a new printer :( I was...

@Pharmacist - may I ask which resetter did you order ?

Hobbicolors are great I have used them for 2 years with no problems they ship to japan fine and they were well packed too On my second refill with German method and it's fine Joe

thanks Pharmacist .. that's great news I checked http://eweko.com/index.php but it doesn't work for me .. do you know if anyone else is selling these artech resetters ? Joe

Yeah saw that thread too .. but it doesn't say it's works with the CLi-221/0 carts Joe

just as ghwellsjr said it's better not to touch the encoder strip it's can cause very weird problems if damaged Joe

I don't know if that's right as the Ebay supplier told me that it didn't and to wait till April Joe

No problem I have checked and your printer does have a bar http://en.community.dell.com/forums/t/17197283.aspx If your husband has any of this stuff :- http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/1674_1_2507983.html This will work better than the oil as it doesn't attract dust Just be well careful not to...

Welcome to the Forum It's sounds like you have some dust in the printer and it's gumming up the bar that the printhead rides on/or the grease has gone I don't know this printer however if you can see the bar that the printhead runs on I'm sure you can clean/lub it Use a air duster and a...
