Problem with a CanonS750

Better quality if only one picture per post?

Any ideas?

Try cleaning your printhead. I would try cleaning it first in the printer. You've obviously got a lot of clogged or burned out nozzles. Each missing square in that printout is a clogged or burned out nozzle.

No, the quality does not change with only one picture per post but since the system won't let you upload a .bmp, can you please go back to your original scanned bitmaps and save them as .png and upload those.

I really need to see the details and the .jpg destroys details.

I can no longer see your two first pictures but it appeared that the nozzle check had only half as many segments in the colors as your most recent.

I change them to .png. One is uploading. The other won't. The Forum say "ERROR: Wrong filetype (has to be a .JPEG, .PNG or .GIF). Yours is: "
It is a .png. I did it twice. Anyway, here is the one that would upload.

It appears that all of your colors except yellow have a few clogged nozzles and your cyan has many nozzles that are not aimed in the right direction. This sometimes is caused by dried ink on the bottom of the print head.

I would recommend that you remove your cartridges and do two deep cleanings of the print head. Then remove the print head and place it on a piece of folded over paper towel that is saturated with Windex. Make it four layers thick. Use a blotting action until no more ink is deposited on the paper towel. Use fresh soaked paper towels until it is clean. Then use more soaked paper towels to wipe down any residual ink on the bottom of the print head. When you're all done, the print head and cartridges back in the printer, except this time, use one of your new cyan cartridges. Do another nozzle check and upload the image of it.

I'm tryng to upload the latest Nozzle check. I did a high quality scan and saved as a bitmap, then I converted to a .png with paint. Now the forum say "ERROR: Wrong filetype (has to be a .JPEG, .PNG or .GIF). Yours is: "
It is a .png. Maybe its too big? The upload is suposed to resize it.

Ok, that was it. I shrunk away all the quality and the forum accepted it. So here it is. I did everything you said. It seems to have helped except now it looks like I've lost half the Cyan nozzles?
