Those guys don’t send anything outside the UK..

This thread is a bit old now but I've been looking for a new pro9000 & pro9500 printhead. I have bought about three printheads over time from CRC Tasktron & they ship to Australia.
Sadly they don't have any stock of pro9000 or pro9500 heads

The Problem with sourcing heads for these two printers is cost, some are still available but boy they are expensive..

Yes I gave up. I thought I hit the jackpot for the pro9000 on Aussie Ebay with a genuine brand new pro9000 print head for $105 but it turned out to be a genuine brand new print head made in China I swapped printers with the wife & bugger me the pro9000 has a black ink clog so I have some thinking to do.

A good way to check if the new Print head is genuine or not, it should come in its own box, usually the refurbished heads on display for sale only come in plastic wrappers..

Yes I noticed that in the pictures as none of them showed the box. I did get in contact with the seller asking about genuine Canon & made in Japan etc but have received no reply.

I wonder if there’re such things as “genuinely fake” Canon printheads. Meaning entirely made by somebody else. I’d think that the technology involved on this manufacture is out of reach for most small electronic companies in China but, who knows ?. It’s not unlikely that Canon Japan outsource printhead parts from Chinese firms so, one of them might go one step further and do all the manufacturing and assembling by themselves.

Anyway, all the units that I’ve been sent by Ali Express/Ebay vendors were used, of course, but genuine Canon.

 

[rodbam]

I was thinking that myself Artur because as you said the technology to make even a cheap printer head would be very expensive to set up. I think you can get into trouble as a seller on Ebay if you misrepresent the description of the goods so I took it to mean genuine new but not a Canon head.
The ones you have seen on Ebay Artur did they say they were used or pre loved?

@rodbam, don’t be tempted by these EBay offers, they just build up your hopes only to be dash again, the print heads are genuine OEM but have all been refurbished and are not new, the Lotto gives better odds...

On a normal everyday desktop printer one of these refurbished heads may well work with a nozzle or two missing but for a Pro printer like the 9000 or 9500 that performance is just not good enough...

There are no easy solutions to your current dilemma, even a new Pro 10 and resetter are a King’s ransom..

Your right the Hat looks like I won't be taking any money to my grave in this life.

Isn't it a worthy goal - to plan and spend every penny to perfectly coincide with the day you shuffle off this mortal coil? Like you said, you - we - won't be taking any money into the great beyond.

Sadly, easier said than done. So, live long and prosper, fellow forum members.
