Need advice on where to find part

[congaman59]

I don't know how it happened but today I went to clean my canon MG8120 print head and I noticed the black rubber grommet around the yellow nozzle was missing. Anyone know how or where I might get a replacement?

do you have access to any other salvaged printers frrom Canon , friends, a shop which takes a printer back for selling a new one etc. You may get the gromet from a spare parts dealer but then you pay for it.

@congaman59, I won’t ask why you were cleaning the print head outside your machine, but these little accidents do happen from time to time.

Now I could give you one of the many ones that I have from several of my old duff print heads but it would about ten days to get to you, just ask.

I was wondering maybe one of our generous members residing in the US could give you one of theirs in half that time.

How about guys..

I have turfed a couple of clogged printheads over the past few years. Didn't think of saving the grommets.

Learned something for future occasions.

Not sure of the exact size or type without going and googling printhead specs but you may be able to get what you need via s google search for "silicone washers" just measure one of the others you have left and order appropriate size.

That would be WONDERFUL! I think what happened was the grommet got caught in the bottom of one of the empty canon carts back when I wasn't using re-fill able
ones. I probably just trashed it without thinking. I didn't even know there were grommets in there until I noticed that one was missing. If I change carts again I'll be checking the bottom! I'll be glad to pay you for your trouble. Let me know and I can send you my mailing address by email or some more private means.

How many different grommets did Canon use?

All I know is that the iP4000 grommets are different from the iP4200 grommets.

look at a pile of printers from your Goodwill store.

Yes at least two different different types of grommets were used for print heads for ink cartridges with round ink outlets. The low-profile gasket at the left is the newest and most likely the one needed for the MG8120 print head:
