Replacement canon printheads

[wilko]

When a print head finally goes it is a somber experience and the posts on this forum show the lengths that members will go to to revive the print head.

However, perhaps we should remember how much we have saved by refilling cartridges when taking the cost of a new print head into account.

In the UK a full set of Canon OEM cartridges costs more than a replacement print head so refilling OEM cartridges at around 50p a cartridge (Hobbicolors/Image Specialists ink) 2x more than pays for a new print head as against OEM replacements.

Like others on here I will try all methods to revive a blocked print head but we should remember how much we have saved by refilling.

The sad truth is that many of us who have had years of great service from older series printers may need a new printhead for an otherwise functioning printer, and we find that none are available. I'll be very sad when I have to retire my i960 printers. I have two, but only one functioning printhead. Apparently, there are no more printheads for these printers in the pipeling.
