Pixma Pro 10 inks for free

[Ketil Wright]

Hi

I have upgraded to a Canon pro 1000, and have the following Canon Pixma Pro 10 related items which I cannot use, and wish to offer them free to anyone here.

1) A nearly full set of Precision Colors Signature Edition 4 Oz inks.
2) 2 sets of PGI 72 Cartridges. I had flushed both sets thoroughly using windex and distilled water. One set I bought second hand, the other came with the printer. The former set is filled with PCSE, the latter is empty. I have all the orange covers, which I have punched a hole in for flushing.
3) A chip resetter, which has occasionally been temperamental, but has always eventually reset the chips with a bit of patience & contact cleaner.
4) Various syringes, needles and squeeze type bottles.
5) The original printhead from the pro 10.
6) various original PC inks (non signature edition) which are not enough to do even one complete refill. These I suspect belong in the trash.

A word of warning: The printer itself got sent back to Canon for repair, possibly because of damage I caused myself while flushing the carts and printheads. When I inserted the carts back in the printer, it would not see the grey cart. Canon couldn't or wouldn't fix it. I have no way of knowing whether or not inserting any of the carts or printhead into a working pro 10 would result in a similar experience to anyone else.

The ink bottles have been opened, but I think a bit of tape over the scabbards and careful packing would make it shippable to anyone interested.

Again: I don't want any $ for this. Just arrange for shipping and it's yours.

A most kind and generous offer that will surely make someone thrilled.

Best of health and fortunes to you, Ketil.

You're welcome. I've been trolling this forum for years, learned but not offered much.

I should amend something I wrote regarding the carts. One set is flushed and refilled with PCSE ink. The other set is "empty" but does not appear to have been cleaned. I was a bit flustered by this issue at the time.

Also, I neglected to photograph the printhead. The printer had sat idle for some time & I flushed it with windex/distilled water. I looked at it afterwards under a stereo microscope & don't see any obvious signs of damage.

The whole debacle which led us here was back in December, see https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/pgi72-cartridge-led-wont-light-up.14215/#post-123536

I am so far delighted with the Pro 1000.

Hi Norbert.

I am in the USA. I am not aware of any restrictions on this sort of thing. I sent printed calendars a couple of weeks ago to addresses in UK and in Sweden. I do not think they have arrived yet. So if you're fine with that, we can move ahead.

I had a brief look around this forum to see how we can exchange details (like your address) in a private way. So far, I haven't found it, although it looks like others have done this.

If anyone can point me at that, most appreciated.

Regards

Ketil

Be sure the items are described as second hand to avoid excessive import duties and VAT.
Good luck and @Norbert : enjoy.
