My apologies. I must have missed your sound advice that would have gotten me up and running. What was it? Switch to OEM inks? Any advice around regular cartridge flushing, though well received, is surely a preventative measure and not a solution to the issue we were discussing. Had it been a...

I posted images of the bad nozzle checks on the very first post in this thread and provided all the background to the issue: Up until the issue with the nozzle checks I was printing every 2-3 days with no problems (post #5). The fact that all colors went bad at the same time, a couple of days...

Quick update in case anyone else runs into the issue where all colors start failing the nozzle check at the same time. I took the printhead out of the printer and thoroughly cleaned it (multiple soakings and flushings). I refilled a set of freshly refurbished cartridges with PC inks and...

I agree 100% with everything you said. I don't know if anyone was claiming that aftermarket was as good as OEM, I certainly wasn't. If Canon sold OEM ink in bulk and made the cartridges refillable they could take my money all day long (even at Canon-ink prices). The youtube videos by @jtoolman...

The printhead arrived, I'm going with that option. Going for the OEM cartridges option would require that I'd have to believe that all 8 of the ones I'm using right now went bad at exactly the same time and that doesn't seem plausible to me. Thanks anyway. P.S. lol, cos no-one ever ran into...

Thanks for the info. The cartridge I already flushed, dried, and refilled still doesn't print properly. Up until the issue with the nozzle checks I was printing every 2-3 days with no problems. Is it likely that all the cartridges went bad at the same time? Honestly, I'm having trouble...

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. The problem *is* affecting all colors. I flushed and refilled a single cartridge so I could test whether the patchy sponges or bubbles in the channel were the cause(s). Plus, it seems unlikely that all the cartridges would go bad simultaneously. I'm also...

Hi, Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've been using PC inks in my Pro-100 for 18 months. I find the printhead clogs a bit more often than with OEM inks, but nothing I can fix with a water/IPA/Windex flush, until recently. It seems like I have an issue affecting all...
