The cartridge I was using for the pgi BK was an original canon refilled using the german method with ink from websnail (UK). I have now changed it for an aftermarket cartridge but still nothing in the nozzle check. If the cartridge is emtying with cleaning cycles does it not mean that some ink...

I was wondering the same thing :lau

I have the same problem so didnt think it necessary to start a new thread. In the nozzle check all print ok except the big pigment black PgiBk. Zilch, not a single line. I have cleaned the printhead with solution of ammonia mixed with a little automotive screenwash and distilled water. It...

I found MAX AMMONIA in my local shops. Im in the UK too Link to product below. http://www.max-on-line.co.uk/products/ammonia/index.html It says it has 9.5% ammonia. Is this good enough?

Forgive me for hijacking this thread but I have the same problem with the same colour on the same printer so I thought it would be wasteful starting a new thread. The last printjob I did involve printing 3 or 4 whole pages of cyanish color which printed ok. After the job, I checked the cyan...
