Sadly enough Aldi doesn't sell it's famous (and cheap) RC paper anymore.
For my calendars I need 100-150 A4's every year.
So I searched for leftovers in my stock and found cast papers of different (or no) brands.
(these papers have a cardboard back where you can write on with a pencil, while RC...
I have the PRO-9500 II and PRO-10 (not the -S model) on WIN11 without any issues.
The PRO-10 prints (as does the Maxify) also via Wifi from a laptop with 2024H2 and Android phones and tablet.
PRO-100 should work also.
Merry Christmas !
IMO it is a random problem - or two of them occurring together - that puts the printer in this mode.
Unless you get it regularly I wouldn't worry too much.
BTW the phone company installed a gorgeous new fiber network and Wi-Fi system here (expensive, but you have not much choice here in...
It seams an isolated problem and not a printhead fault.
I suppose you tried cleaning the contacts (where the cyan cart connects in the printhead) with some alcohol ?
Did you try a new cyan cart ?
Otherwise remove the printhead and clean there (although I wonder the problem should be there).
Only for your information

In addition to @The Hat 's info: the setup carts are internally the same as regular ones, you can refill them to the full volume.
To refill cartridges with bags see this video...
I have a Canon Maxify for business prints/scanning and a PRO-10 for photos.
The Epson ET-8550 could do both (with some compromises).
The low ink cost (without all the mess of refilling carts) is a major advantage too.
If I would start over today I would think about the ET-8550 seriously, since...
I still have one working in the printer, a second PRO-10 laid up with an almost new head and a brand new printhead in the box...
Based on a testimonial of Precisioncolors, his only customer with a failing printhead ran the cartridges empty.
These things seem to be way better than the...
Well, I missed the opportunity then ;).
OTH I once bought their PRO-9500 replacements and sent them back immediately.
Also saw several times printers for sale completely messed up by their inks.
This for sure also was due to the badly built 3th party carts.
Anyway, maybe I never will need...
The PRO-10 I bought used (with <100 pages) almost 5 years ago is now at 2750, mostly A4.
Including nozzle checks, cleaning etc counting 1ml/page that should make about 3l of ink or 300ml/colour.
This seems to be confirmed by my purchases over the years.
(I print every 2 weeks or so and shut down...
It seems there is stock at some places again

Hello Hat!
Didn't you use the Chinese ARC's ?
Had to replace one or two over the years but no problems since.
I replace a cart only when the printer says it is empty, so I do not interfere with the official routines.
This works most of the time, maybe pulling the plug and replacing all at once...
Indeed, once you get cross contamination it is difficult to eradicate due to the buffer in the printhead.
I'll try to print lots of pages full of magenta and yellow (better than filling the purge pads by cleaning cycles), but maybe I should change the carts.
PS: I refill only when the autoreset...
Dear printer friends,
Since a few months I was struggling with stripes in the magenta, cleaning didn't help.
I thought I ruined the printer by neglecting the ink low message :eek:and decided to mount a new printhead.
(FYI you need to remove 2 screws before you can lift the handle)
But by...
Great buy, congrats.
I definitely would buy a Redsetter, it makes the PRO-10 the easiest printer to refill.
The last one too, take care of it and enjoy !
