    Is it dead - Canon Pixma Pro 10-S, 26 flashes, error 6700

    Thanks for the info. This suggests the PRO-100 battery is on the back right, different from the PRO-10 ?

    Canon pro10s poor nozzle check result

    Try first to unclog the printhead, it will print without filter too. Use patience, not force.

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    After all the level indicated by the chip is just a nice to have. As you discovered, the printhead has an ink level sensor and will raise an error when the cart is really empty. Only problem I am afraid is you need a cart with a non-empty chip to reset this.

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    Did you try to clean the chip contacts with isopropanol ? Worked for me.

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    As mentioned elsewhere the black channel was clogging more and more, I suspect the octopus-office.de BK ink I used several years without problems lost quality (maybe the pigments sedimented). I tried large format MBK, it solved the problem for some time, but not to my satisfaction. I even...

    Canon pro10s poor nozzle check result

    As you experienced applying force is not the good method. The PRO-10 printheads can live long if you print regularly - although one or two months wouldn't be a problem. I had the best results with abandoned printheads by soaking in demineralized water with a drop of good hand dishwashing liquid...

    Can I use HP's ink C8750A with Canon pro10?

    Watch your nozzle checks with a magnifying glass and have a known working ink available to revert, but chances are it is possible. PRO-10 printheads are rather sturdy.

    Does Canon PG-BK ink expire past the listed dates?

    I recently refilled my Maxify in despair with large format BK ink expired in 2009 :eek:. The black nozzles were clogging more and more (using 3th party ink) and the GI-56 bottles were sold out. I was fearing for the printhead. After a few cleaning cycles the nozzle check was perfect again ! As...

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    Same reason you must not overfill I suppose.

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    Still no no idea what the air intake is for ? I stopped sealing the ink outlet after refilling. Now I raise the back of the printer when changing carts (why else they are inclining forward for no other reason as making refilling as difficult as possible).

    Canon Pro 10 vs Epson ET8550

    No problem. I will stick with the PRO-10 (found another one, sadly enough expensive with a clogged printhead - €70).

    Canon Pro 10 vs Epson ET8550

    I am a bit confused The file "CN_PP202_Pro10_GlossyII_MaxQuality.icm" has an internal description "FS_PlatEtchingET8550_MAT_V1" It looks exactly the same as my PRO-10 profiles on glossy papers, so I suppose it is from the PRO-10 ? The one named "CN_PP201_ET8550_UltraGlossy_HQ_v1.icc" is a bit...

    Reviving a Canon pro 10

    I do not print often on matte papers, only for posters (=temporarily use, not to frame). First of all it doesn't work for all images, second I use the sliders to give more pop. Mostly on the PRO-9500II to save my PRO-10. I would be delighted when you attach the icc files ;)

    Reviving a Canon pro 10

    Precision Colors has to do this since there are almost no refillable printers anymore. Very inventive and courageous, but as long as you have a printer as easy as a PRO-10, why would you fill an ET8850 with 3th party pigment inks when the original dye inks are sold in bottles, have a high gamut...

    Reviving a Canon pro 10

    You won't find any, even older Lucia is sold much too expensive. Except for Blue and Green (how could that be :D).

    Reviving a Canon pro 10

    It would be good ink for certain (and there is no other choice for CO). Canon never said it is the same ink though. I went for Lucia EX since it is somewhat cheaper per ml, about half price of PGI-72. Ink IS expensive nowadays.

    Reviving a Canon pro 10

    I used different mixes and roughly can say that the Lucia EX inks have a slightly higher gamut than PRO-10 OEM (no experience with PRO-1000 (Lucia PRO). The original Lucia was used in the PRO-9500 and has a bit less gamut and gloss equality. In most colours these inks are exchangeable with the...

    Canon Pro 10 vs Epson ET8550

    Is it possible to attach/send the icc files, I would compare with mine on the PRO-10 ?

    Canon Maxify MB2320 Error Code 5207

    This confirms what @The Hat suggested. Does this mean Canon starts to watch closer to the carts we use ?
