    Canon i960 print head leak

    Here's what happened. The i960 had been great at not drying out, in spite of very infrequent use. Recently it began to show streaks in the nozzle check and some of the tanks looked empty, so I decided to try a cleaning and refill it with aftermarket ink. This was a 6 color CoYlBod Dye Refill...

    Persistent banding problem in Canon TS9020.

    I have a Canon TS9020 that I bought lightly-used on eBay about a year and a half ago, and have been experiencing a persistent banding problem. I noticed banding in photos shortly after I started using it, but didn't pay attention, thinking it was something I could later fix with an...

    Canon PIXMA MX926 Print Head Replacement

    Hello everyone, First time I am posting here; I’ve got a Canon PIXMA MX926 printer and I purchased a replacement print head. Part number QY6-0086. It’s the same part number that was originally in the printer so I know it’s the correct one. When I installed the replacement print head, my printer...

    Power Off Procedure?

    I unintentionally unplugged my Canon Pro-100 printer without powering it off. It complained and felt I should be properly trained in the proper way to power off itself. This avoids damage to the print heads due to clogging. I promised it I will never intentionally do that again. Up until...

    Pro-100 Cyan lines :(

    I'm getting lines on a Nozzle Check on the Cyan print head only. HELP! I've tried a Deep Cleaning and a Print Head Alignment: Page 1: Page 2: So, I'm asking what should I try next? I haven't tried a Bottom Plate Cleaning nor a Roller Cleaning. The Pro-100 is new. I've used up the setup...

    Epson 7890 Conundrum

    After running an (initial fill) with internal cleaning solution and many many cleanings I am still missing the center of my Yellow channel. There also seems to be some overlap on the Yellow channel as well, I have uploaded a jpeg of my most recent nozzle check. I am going under the assumption my...

    Pro-100 Printhead (was a) Problem

    So I guess I don’t have a problem that needs fixing, but rather a problem I fixed. Figured success stories and techniques coming from this forum should be mentioned. About four weeks ago I noticed at the bottom of the cyan block on the test page didn’t have a crisp edge. Since TurboPrint has...

    cyan is striping but I don't think it's the print head.

    Hi, my first post here. I have a Canon Pixma iP5000 which I really like, but recently the cyan started printing in dark and light stripes across anything that had color. I've cleaned the print head several times but that has not helped. Then I read a post that suggested printing on high...

    MP610 trouble after inserting false ink tank - replace print head?

    Hi everyone here! I've just found this forum in hopes that someone has a good advice. Someone dear to me tried to put a canon photo black ink tank (a narrow one) into the PGBK slot of my MP610 and apparently applied some force. Now I suspect the print head has been damaged, as the printer won't...

    Epson 7900 - New print head?

    Hi, I have a problem with small horizontal lines in the print direction. They seem to disappear after a thorough cleaning. On my nozzle print checks I have a big gap in the yellow color. And furthermore at the area of the gap there is a slight offset of ink to the right. I have attached a...
