Hello folks Badger here and I am new to this . Bought a MP130 Feb 2005 . so far very few problems . only the paper loader sometimes takes 5 -6 goes at loading sheets before printing starts .Canon cartridges gave the best results but were very expensive P.C world ones were almost as good and less than half the cost Am presently using Canon approved inks from Inkrite products and these are cheaper still . One of the two glass panel nozzle scapers has snapped but does`nt seem to have made any difference. The colors do not seem as rich or as bright as they used too so am running with the density set to max to beef up the colors a bit .Now the waste ink tank is nearly full ,can anyone help in solving this problem .presently there is no way that I can afford to send this off for service . Why are customers not informed about this on purchase ?.Wishing you all a Peaceful and Happy Christmas .
