First try of pigment ink on the Canon 6600D printer

[thanhhuy123]

Disaster happen. I refilled with Inktec for Epson (will never buy ink in that store anymore, lying...) and my yellow nozzles started printing with streak, CMK is still fine - lucky me. Now it's nearly blank printing. Maybe ink clogged in the printhead?? What to do next? I'm soaking the printhead with toilet paper and alcohol 90%. The printhead is non-removable so I can't remove it. Have to do it while it's inside the printer.

I'm going to buy ink for HP/Canon, although it's now Inktec, but Inkmate - the only choice here...

Whatever else you use doesnt for heavens sake use toilet paper, its not meant to be used as paper towels;
it will disintegrate into very small pieces and clog up the print head even more.

Use only cotton cloths or kitchen paper towels, the stuff that wont break up on contact with moisture..

I use this:

Is it ok? :/ Here we are not really distinguist between toilet paper and kitchen paper or even know about it... We say "cheap" and "expensive" and we distinguist by the thinkness, softness and toughness... (We are still an under-developed/developing country with high percentage of poor-educated population...)
