Well I agree with what Harvey has said, that there is a problem with the IS magenta. I too have gone through a number of heads the past five months on my Pro100. Always involving the magenta. I thought maybe I wasn't flushing my carts enough and vowed to flush every five refills to see if this...
Didn't want to hijack andy_48's current thread & his post/question ("How can one tell if microbial growth is the problem? More importantly, how is it avoided Ink storage conditions?"), so I started this one.
I too would like to know the answer. Just today again I had ink starvation on my PM. I...
I am out of town now and then for over two weeks. Came back home the other day after two weeks to find my printhead clogged again and all the cleaning in the world, did not work. My wife knows nothing about a computer and will not touch mine, or I would have her run a nozzles check every few...
So if I flush out some CLI-8 carts that I have laying around and attach a CLI-42Y chip, am I good to go?
Also, Mike/mikling, are those "refurbished" carts you are selling OEM carts? They don't look it, or you just changed the labels?
Thanks,
Larry
I ordered this:
and am getting this all below free, with free shipping. Don't know why they are throwing all the extra paper in, other than the "buy one, get four free", but its a great deal.
All this paper for $54.47. I now have about a 1,000 sheets of the Luster, which I like very much.
I vote for the resetter causing this problem. I had several carts do the same thing with my previous resetter. Posted my problem here on this site and the "Hat" was kind enough to send me an extra resetter he had and since using his resetter, I have not had that problem recur. Thanks again Hat...
Just a follow up. I did buy a cheap/generic green cart off Ebay and swapped its chip onto my OEM cart and it worked like I expected. So yesterday was the first time I tried filling that cart with the aftermarket chip. First off I forgot to mention that "The Hat" was kind of enough to send me a...
My OEM Cli-8g cart is not being recognized by my Pro9000 II printer, after refilling and a reset. This is the fourth OEM cart (different colors earch time) to go bad (not recognized) in the last six months. I bought a new resetter after the first three failed and thought the old resetter was the...
I have 50 empty carts coming from Ebay. When they get here I will reset and refill one of those and see if they reset. If not, then I know its my resetter (I think). Will report back. Thanks, Larry
Thanks for all your suggestions. I have been holding the carts in the resetter for 5-10 seconds, but tried even longer just now, with the same result. I reset a working different color (partially full) as suggested and the cart was recognized after resetting, so I am really baffled right now. I...
Ok, I am having problems with my Canon Pro 9000 and not recognizing some of my carts. I am refilling using all original Canon carts. I had my print head fail last week, don't know if it was ink starvation or not, but to be safer in the future, I decided to try refilling the carts before the low...
Ok, here is the deal. I have old Canon S820 that I have been using for years. I have gone through probably 7 or 8 print heads, about one every 12 - 18 months it seems. I changed out my latest one last week, yellow was going bad. Manual cleaning (yes I know how, been reading here for years) did...
I searched and searched and cannot not find another supplier of Formulabs ink. I did email Sensient also, with no response. Has anyone else had any luck finding another supplier?
