"You are more right than wrong," as my late mother would say, when trapped for an answer, I watch your tutorials and listen to your advise, as I am considering a Pro printer when I can, but for the moment have an Epson XP-960 for which I sat there very frustrated in urgency to print and caught with a cleaning cycle, caught with likely over soaked pads, and more than two resets. So, what you say makes good sense and that when I can renew my printer for the 700 or 1000, I am now warned has been the source of my problems too. Thank you, I am learning and hope others realise you are correct and make saving on unnecessary ink loss that should realistically, be used instead on the next print.

You are correct. I have a 15 year old Cannon printer and when new, I could go weeks without the inkjets drying up. Now it is like 24 hours and I have to do a clean cycle. Mine does not go into auto clean mode. I think it is the design of the cartage. Face it, they don't make much if anything on the printers. It's the ink cartage's that are the cash cow. 30 years ago I worked for a company that made Fax machines. They had special paper that they basically burned the image on. No ink at all. It should be easy to do black and white and grey tones easily. Color would be tricky.

Yes. Any print job. You want to break the idle period before 60 hours. So anything you print will break that will Interrupt the period of that idleness will do the job.

I think you are the one "expert" that really knows what he (/they) are talking about. I have been using Canon printers for over thirty years and presently have an MG6620 I have always LOVE the Canon printers. I recently decided to replace the print head (QY6-0082). I ordered one and when I got it, it gave me the error "wrong print head". It was clearly marked "QY6-0082" but only when I put the original print head (a QY6-0082) back did everything work.. Is it that there are varieties of QY6-0082s, or can the Service Tool allow resetting the printer to allow the replacement head to work? OR is there a combination of button-pushes that will do it? [and where can I find a reliable source of the Service Tool???) Sincerely, Dr T Rowe

Your videos that I have seen are very informative and useful. This one made me realize that a printer at home for say 13 x 19 prints just would not get used enough to justify the costs of ink. You mentioned Qimage, which I have supported for over 10 years (for when I need to do a print) and I know ice profiles for the printer at COSTCO near me can be downloaded. Could you do a video step by step workflow for exactly what needs doing to get the best results? That would really help me.

Jose, is there any reason my Canon pro 10 can not print a 13 x 38 inch pano print? When I set it up the paper size and print, but it places the image going the wrong direction. I changed the orientation, but it still prints only a horizontal strip of the pano image. What can I do?

The inks were low on my Pro 200 and I started to replace them as they ran out, I saved ink and got extra prints out of it but it restarts each time so I now put them all in at the same time to avoid it, I also print a 6x4 every week or two and the head has not blocked so far. Photgraphy and printing is an expensive hobby but thats just the way it is if you want the best results. The best way to print cheap is to use a printer like the Canon MG5750 with non OEM inks i get decent results for not much money and if the printer dies it's only £50.00 for a new one, Iv'e had mine for maybe four or five years and it still works well and it's never blocked up in that time, leaving them dormant for months on end is the worse thing you can do to a printer.

Hi Jose, I'm loving and learning from your series of video blogs which include information I've never read before. In this video you mention that Canon printers should not be turned off because they have an internal clock to keep inks agitated and nozzles clear. You listed the printers involved from the Pro 9500 onwards. I have the Pro 9000 would you know if this printer has the same internal clock system? Thanks in advance. Andy.

My experience is this: I don't use my Pixma Pro 9000 for days on end. It is set to "automatic" mode. It supposedly goes off when not in use for a number of minutes. Not really "off" but it is "sleeping". It is sleeping until you command it to print something and it will print usually without doing a cleaning cycle. It will, however, initiate a cleaning cycle when it is just siting there for a few days without my intervention because it was just "sleeping" not "off".

":It is sleeping until you command it to print something and it will print usually without doing a cleaning cycle" "It will, however, initiate a cleaning cycle when it is just siting there for a few days without my intervention because it was just "sleeping" not "off" OR do you mean if you print something withing a certain number of hours while it is in SLEEP mode it will not do a cleaning cycle unless it sets SLEEPING for days? I currently have all my CANON so they never sleep or auto off. That plus using them often will pretty much stop most auto maintenance. The PRO-9000 is ancient by comparison to the model I am talking about here. I have two 9000MKII sitting on my floor right now. One new and one with no printhead.

The PRO100 will trigger a pre print cleaning cycle after 120 hour of not printing. If you go past 480 hours it will run a larger cleaning cycle before it begins to print said job. Then the timer resets to zero and youncan print without cleaning cycles fornthe next 119:59:59 hours before the next cleaning cycles is added before the next print.

I am sorry Debbie but a printer mechanic I definitely am not. I can teach you how to print great photos 24 / 7 though! If the printer is worth it you might want to take it for servicing. Obviously something mechanical has broken in the scanner. I hope the printers is still able to at least print.

I do not have that particular printer but I do appreciate you sharing your knowledge. In my opinion Canon should mention these default settings and incorporate the possibility to switch it off or even implement the possible to create your own printing schedule like you explained. To me this seems a really gray area, where the manufacturer profits from printers not being used regularly and then emptying cartridges by these programmed cleaning cycles..

I can't say for sure whether printing in B&W mode uses only black and grey inks or a composite of all colors. I think not. B&W seems to basically just do an on the fly file conversion to B&W at the driver level. To try to answer your question concerning printing within the 60 minimal.period. Anythng you print will count. However there are reports of other types of noises occurring before a job begins to print even under the 60 hour period. Its hard to determine what the printers are actually doing.

I could buy a used epson r2880 (found one used for 250, but how old is it?l and might sell today) or a new Canon Pro 100 ($400 by payment plan)....could you advise what printer I should buy and things I should take into account?

I don't know of any Brown ink for any of the common printers. You would have to custom mix ink compatible to EPSON photo printers and load cartridges with it! So for instance with the R2880 you would need 8 refillable Carts loaded with this custom ink. Theoretically should work.

Dear sir. I have the pro 10, and expecting to receive a pro 100 soon. They are such a good value to be passed by. Just a casual check. Do you think the chassis of the pro 100 is the same as the pro 10? You think if a pro 10 print head is inserted into the pro 100 chassis .. and perhaps unlocked it's use as a pro 10? They are so similar that it seemed plausible that Canon could be manufacturing the mechanical parts as the same design, whilst having a different firmware for each model will bring down their manufacturing costs. If this hypothesis is true. We may just have a cheap chassis for replacement in case the ink pad (irreplaceable) becomes saturated.

Thanks for your great videos, Jose. Maybe I shouldn't have the puppy. I have had many Canon printers and have enjoyed making my own prints over many years. Over that time, I have replaced many printheads due to clogging. I was about to throw the whole idea of home printing out the window (along with the most recent printer.). But ....I got a Canon iP8720 last summer. My wife and I did our snowbird thing over the winter and took our truck/camper down to Mexico on a 5 month trip. In an attempt to prevent the inevitable printhead clog, I removed the printhead and stored it in a tupperware container. I used tye-wraps to suspend the head off the bottom and poured in distilled water with a little Windex. Not sure - but I think the liquid was just touching the bottom of the printhead. So 6 MONTHS later, I flush the printhead and reinstall it - sure enough - it's clogged. After 2 days of flushing, purging, using an electric toothbrush and cursing, I got it working. ........ I guess I can rant too ............. anyway: My question is this: Is there any way that I can go to Mexico and come back to a working printer? (Not going on the trip is not an option - otherwise I wouldn't have all the great photos.) - We do not have anyone looking after the townhouse - nobody is here. - Would it be risky and complicated to come up with a system for automatic printing every 2 days? (5 months = 75 prints) - Is there any way I can remove and store the printhead so it will not clog? I am sure other retired photographers are in this same situation - I look forward to your comments. Thanks ....... Dave

re. Inkjet Plumber, the Mac auto print app. I realize that the way to go is probably keeping everything together and just have my old laptop print out a swatch every few days. So Inkjet plumber MAY do the trick. Right now though the app will not wake up my laptop to perform the print. I don't want to leave my laptop up and running for 5 months. But I have contacted the author of the app and hopefully this situation will be solved.

I had an Epson Workforce which was a nightmare after one year. I had one previous to that one and same thing. So i thought I would try Canon. I purchased 3 refurbished Brother Laser 9130CWs for my business. Every one of the Brother 9130CWs would leave toner smudges every few pages and would also come off on my hands. I had to return them all. That would have been my printer of choice for my needs. Was very disappointed. So I'm back to trying an inkjet again with Canon which I never owned before. Thanks again. You are a great resource and I subscribed.

Hey Jose, I'm new around here but your channel is great. Question: You made a correction in the video info saying that the canon pro100 will do a time cleaning if you print or not, but then say that you should print every two days instead of let it do the cycle.

The pro 100 has timed cleaning cycles that will occur on your next print job after you exceed 120 or 480 from your LAST CLEANING CYCLE! SO if you print right this minute and you had not printer within the last 120 hours that print job would be preceded by a cleaning cycle because you had not printed within the last 120 or MORE hours. If you print anything within that 120 hour window no cleaning cycles will occur until you pass 120 hours. If you have not printed for 120 hours the cleaning will be medium and if you have not printed for 480 hours the cleaning will be larger. How much ink do they use? No body knows.

Totally inaccessible to you. The firmware keeps track and when a certain arbitrary Magic Number is reached, thats it. The printer stops working. It's not just the pro-100 but ALL printers with internal waste ink pads. There are tools for resetting most Epson printers but not Canon, but the ink is still being accumulated in the pads and eventually you overflow.

Hi Jose , I've seen a few of your vids, more specifically around the canon pro 100 and they are very informative. I decided to purchase one today as I'm trying to turn my hobby into something more. While that happens I'm rediscovering printing having been out of the game for 12 yr-ish. I plan to use the printer but I wouldn't be surprised if I don't print every 2 days...I'm throwing this question out there to you as you have a handle on the ins and outs of printing. If you know you're not going to make that 60 hr window, and know that say you maybe will not print for 2 wks or more....could you remove the ink carts and store them so they would not dry out? Then slap em back into the printer when the need arises? Thanks again for your vids, keep em coming! Mark

Sure but the internal timer will run a cleaning cycle p!us the fact that removed and reinstalled the carts will force a large Ink purge. There is no way to avoid the inevitable. You just have to print semething. Anything will do including a simple nozzle check.

So do i need to leave my printer on and plugged in? I have a Pro-100 which I do my best to use every few days, but every time im done printing I turn it off (still plugged in, just pressing the power button). I've noticed that when go back to turn it on and print the printer will make some noises for around 30 seconds. Is this the cleaning cycle you are mentioning?

Yes. On 24/7. You can prevent the cleaning circles that take place whenever you repower on the printer. But you cannot get rid of the cleaning cycle take place for normal maintenance but at least you can reduce or eliminate the ones that would occur when you re power on so leave it on 24/7

I was wondering about your opinion on something. I have an IPF 6300 and I am now experiencing issues with my second set of printheads. I don't print enough and I have not been good at running nozzle checks and test prints to keep the nozzles from clogging up. At the present, I have ink in the machine and two, unopened printheads. I am talking to a retailer about getting some cash back for the print heads and putting that towards a newer, smaller printer such as the Canon Pro 1000 or the Epson P800. The alternative would be to keep the 6300 and use the new printheads. My goal is to have a more trouble free printing experience based upon low volume usage. What do you think?​

No need to ever do that. Unplugging will waste more ink when you decide to printer next time. The idea of turning off printer is antiquated and no longer relevant with today's modern printers.

Dear Jose, I have enjoyed watching your videos and learned a lot from them. I had a Pixma Pro-9500 which worked fine for around 5-6 years (I can't remember exactly how long) I did not use it that much because of the cost of each cartridge and I now realise that this was false economy. Eventually the print head clogged and I could not unclog it so I replaced the 9500 with the Canon Pixma Pro-100s. After watching your videos (which all seem to have referenced the Pro-100 and not the 100s) I thought I knew how to do things right. I keep the printer on all the time and I make a print every two days. Sadly, the 100s seems to keep carrying out cleaning cycles, even today when I made two batches of prints it seemed to carry out a cleaning cycle before each session. Do you think that Canon have heard about your videos and changed the firmware so that the 100s is scheduled to do more cleaning cycles and not just after every 2.6 days?

A quick story - I bought a 2nd hand pro 9000mkII on ebay . It was described NIB but when I got it , a few inks were done and the green channel was totally clogged. This was due to it probably sitting in a box for 2-3 years. I assume it was given away with a Canon camera purchase. So to clean the head I used NO solvent. But I did use an ultrasonic cleaner , hydrogen peroxide and a small amount of isopropal alcohol. half an hour in cleaner and testing it - the green now flows perfectly while on the test strip it was blank when printing green.. no lines or anything. Just make sure you take out the rubber if using alcohol.

Usually it's not recommended that you use an ultrasonic cleaner. It can actually cause internal damage of the internal delicate components. Also Hydrogen peroxide can cause damage. Most canon print heads need only need to be partly soaked in warm distilled water with maybe a bit of Windex mixed in. But you had success and one can not argue with success. Enjoy your 9000 MKII.

I like canon printers, but i am away for long periods from home like a month or two. What do you suggest me to do about my ink cartridges? Should i move into a laser one?

You carts will not suffer at all. But the print head could show clogging. Dye inks will clog less than pigment.

Well that explains a few things. I have hardly used my Canon printer at all, and it's already telling me "low ink".And all the "cycling" it does whenever I turn it on. It's a 3600 series, and for what I use it for, I spent too much.

They do want to be used often so the ink is actually used for printing and not for generating waste ink.

Hi, Jose. I've heard you often speak about the timed Canon cleaning cycles, 60 h, 120h, 480h. You say that if one prints before the timed cycle "your ink will go to the print and not be wasted on a cleaning cycle." I'm confused by that statement. Do the cleaning cycles occur even if you are printing every day, or does printing "reset" that cleaning cycle clock so that it does not occur until the printer is idle for the 60, 120, 480 hrs? Thanks

@cheo1949

Okay. We now know that printing those not disable any of the cleaning cycles that occur. Pigment printers like a pro 10 will run a cleaning cycle every 60 hours whether you print or not. The pro 100 being a dye ink printer has a longer. 120 hours again, whether you print or not. Please go to my video list and look at the very recent one that I did a few weeks ago it explains everything We now know about the maintenance Cycles at the Canon printers run.

Canon IP7260 here. I replaced all the cartridges with refillable cartridges and the ink cartridges have worked fine and are still working after two years. I am using non-genuine inks meant for Epson inkjets because I already had 700ml bottles of them from 7 years ago when I used Epson printers. The colors look close enough for me--not accurate--but it doesn't look bad or wrong. Monitor is calibrated using EyeOne Match Pro, which is probably the most important step I have done. You can just keep manually adjusting the colors for your printer profile after each print until you are satisfied with the color-matching. However the pigment black is no longer printing as I stopped printing for a month. Perhaps it dried up & clogged the heads. Cleaning the heads doesn't fix it. My work around is to change Printer Settings to "High Resolution Paper" which will use normal black ink instead of pigment black. Best thing to do is save up for a second hand Xerox Phaser color laser printer. Sometimes companies sell them really cheap or even give them away for free when they upgrade.

According to the manual for the Pro 10, each time an ink cartridge is replaced, the printer is supposed to automatically run a cleaning cycle on the next print...so even for the frequent user this appears to be unavoidable. I've yet to verify this myself - just picked up one a few weeks ago and just now had to change one out for the 1st time, guess I'll find out soon. I've been running by the "60 hour rule" thus far. P.S. Thanks for your videos, several have been very helpful in getting me started!

Yes. One complete ( all 10 colors ) purge cycle every time you change one cart. Yes the 60 hour cycle is also part of the PRO-10. That is why I have two complete sets of carts. Once ONE cart reaches low, I exchange the complete set with reset and filled FULL ( 10 cart ) set. Once purge cycle is generated and I will will not be changing inks for quite a while. The single cart changing creates what we call " The Domino Effect " you are constantly changing carts and others that were near low.... will them BE low after the ink purge. The two set / change when one cart is low scheme, minimizes the generation of waste ink and preserves and extends the life of your Waste Ink pads. Ta change then reset the Printer will cost you more than half the printers original cost.

Jose Rodriguez Wow, interesting and good to know - thanks. With the talk of minimizing/avoiding cleaning cycles, it seems somewhat surprising that this part of it doesn't get nearly as much attention as printing frequency, etc. For me, the first cartridge to run out was CO (not a surprise), which I just changed out. I have not printed since changing it, so the cleaning cycle has not been triggered yet. The low ink warning just came on for Gray, and PB is about 1/4 full. The color ones are around half at this point. MBK is near full. Sounds like I should go ahead and change out Gray as well before I print again - and what about PB? What would you recommend? Thanks!

@cheo1949

7 жыл бұрын

Officially that is never discussed as it is expected that NONE of us would or should be refilling with 3rd party inks. CO will be used at 4x the frequency to other colors. Grays are used a lot as well when printing COLOR. That is the way it is able to print super smooth gradations. You are on the PRO-10 so I said to change over when you hit LOW. Well that was a mistake on my part. Your PGI-72 carts do not have a sponge nor do they have to be modified in any way. Just reset and drip ink on the exit port till full at 33 grams. I do however exchange a complete set when ANY one goes to the empty or near empty mark. I remove them all and replace with 10 reset and full carts and continue printing. Then at my leisure I reset and top off all the carts I removed. One Purge per MAJOR cart change. No domino effect. SO you will need one more set of carts. Otherwise you will have to do each one at a time. Not good!!!

One has used heavily and one was not. I am nervously waiting for the other one did soon but at least I got a.to air prints out of it. So the bad news is that the tech for once is probably correct.

Unless you have Qimage Ultimate and schedule printing of a purge file every two days or so, all you can do is to perform a NOZZLE CHECK ( NOT A PRINT ) and it will trigger it's own cleaning cycle before it prints. Make sure you have enough ink in the carts. View the nozzle check for even band of each color, If it is all perfect then you can proceed to print normally. If not you will have to run a second MANUAL cleaning cycle followed with another nozzle check and check. Hopefully it will be fine.

Thanks for your kind and prompt response. I actually just received my Canon quote yesterday for the Pro 2000. But the more that I thought about it, I love the concept of the desktop more so I decided to pass on the Pro 2000. Maybe I can upgrade to that one later if I never get what I want in the desktop version. I just wished the Pro 1000 could print 24 inches. I am not too concerned about length as I am primarily printing portraits and likely some landscapes. I just figured that by the time that I have the money for the Pro 1000, maybe they will have a second version of it out. I was curious on what that new version would be. Could it be 24 inches in a desktop environment? I know some may say that they would not risk galvanizing their Pro 2000, but a I just truly see the products as different. Ooooooor could it be something truly awesome such as larger ink carts going from 80 mL to 137 or 200 mL which I believe are in the larger models. Pay me no mine... I was just brainstorming what the ideal next version of the 1000 would be. It seems that a number of big companies have gotten in the habit of upgrading their products about 18 months to 24 months. Which means... That is too far away since the Canon 1000 was released. By that time, I will be ready to buy. In either case, thanks for your kind response. Talk to you soon....

DIY: get epson, gut it till it still works, buy a kit that lets you connect print head to large bottles of ink via thin tubes, and well have it gutted so you can manually clean the head if it gets too clogged. That's how i printed commercials/flyers etc for years. And you can feed it cheapest ink you can find on the Fleabay. I even printed with food colour dissolved in filtered rainwater (too cheap to buy distilled - i need enormous supply of demineralised water for my aging offgrid forklift lead acid battery ;-) and some generic window cleaner to lower surface tension (the one that had least pungent taste, no ammonia, which i thought has least corrosive stuff in it - questionable technique, but i don't have a gas chromatograph / mass spectrometer...for now;-) The food colour bleaches in weeks/months, but who cares for flyers that will be outdated in few days...

Canon printer MG 3022 How do I setup my printer to use a refil ink cartridge

@cheo1949

If I knew anything about the MG3022 I would tell you. As I have said many times, my channel is about Pro level photo printers and not other models. I would look to.see if it is even possible to.refill your original carts. As 3rd party refillable and compatible carts are not recommended for Canon printers.

Hola Jose, no se si me podras entender pero de igual manera te pregunto. He visto varios de tus videos pero no he encontrado la solucion a mi problema pero me han servido de mucho. Tengo una pixma pro 10 y cuando imprimo en papel tamano 4x6 al final de la impresion la foto queda descuadrada. Justo antes de terminar de imprimir la impresora como que hace un salto y la impresion se descuadra. Me gustaria mostrarte las fotos de como queda. Porque pasara eso ? es posible que sea el papel ? Tengo fotos de las fotos por si te gustaria mirarlas. Saludos

Estas usando paper brilloso? Canon, o otra marca? Creo que los rolos de transporte estan resbalando. Corre el proceso para limpiar el.Paper Transport que we encuentra en el Maintenance Tab.

Si no es CANON puede que sea demaciado resbaloso i al final se muve o se mueve. En el Driver se va a "Maintenance / Roller Cleaning" i siga las direcciones. Si eso no lo arregla el problemba tendras que usar otro tipo de papel. Que Marca es?

Actually, I was using it quite frequently. Bought it new and it wasn't cheap. After a few months, it would error after the clean cycle and recommend yet another clean cycle. No matter what I did, it never resolved itself. That was more than 15 years ago. After all these years, hearing people are still dealing with annoyingly long clean cycle on Canon printers, makes me feel glad I thru it out the window and never bought another canon printer since. I've owned other brand inkjet printers since, they are fine, even after long periods of non-use.

The only time I recommend using a glossy photo paper is when performing AUTO nozzle checks or AUTO print head alignments. These AUTO tests require that the printed results be scanned and analyzed by an internal sensor. These results are sharper and easier to detect and be read by the sensor when printed on glossy rather than copy paper which wicks ink a bit more. Only some printers have these features. For simply printing nozzle check or purge charts you do not need special paper.

Of course. You are not supposed to turn it off and on. That is what it is programed to do. Leave it ono and print every other day and the ink will be used for the creation of prints.

I use my MP630 every few WEEKS. After a clean the cartridges are nearly empty. If I renew ALL the cartridges, print a few pages and don't use it again for a few weeks then the next time I use it it will purge and half the cartridges are empty again. I would say I get about 10-15 pages per COMPLETE SET OF CARTRIDGES. That's CMYB+large B !!!!!

Yes sure! That is what happens when you only print every few weeks. Cleaning cycles that initiated due to long periods of non use will empty tiny carts quite readily. That is what happens.

Don't know anything about those. I only deal with inkjet photo printers.

I own a Canon i960 inkjet printer (ca. 2004). I don't print everyday and usually it goes like this... I "re-discover" my printer and start using it for a few weeks. Then months or even years go by and I ignore it. Still have this printer and it works flawlessly, as long as I use the 3rd party Linux driver TurboPrint for it. I get 1200 dpi (fine mode) under TurboPrint, where I only ever got 600 dpi from the CUPS-Gutenprint driver. My housemate friend on the other hand bought his Canon i960 in 2007 and must have used it constantly. He tells me that the printhead wore out and the printer is no longer usable. Sure it does the nozzle check and must have wasted some amount of ink since 2004 and perhaps I've had to purchase more ink more frequently than otherwise. But if I don't print that often anyways, to me, it doesn't really matter. I don't wanna hafta search for some image or document to print to keep the it from doing the nozzle cleaning. I love the look of my i960 and the fact that it just does printing. Not scanning as I have a Canon LiDE 110 for that. No use for fax but I do have three places I could go if I need to fax something.

SO what you have discovered is simply this: Older CANONs are built so much better and perform so much better than our newer models. It is sad but true. Since you print so sporadically as you say only after you rediscover your printer, it is not using any ink during all that time so even with a cleaning cycle it still is not wasting a lot. But my current advice is for folks who are photographers and print much more often than you but sometimes not within that 60 hour limit. They will pay for that with a cleaning cycle. Now about the print heads. Canon print heads are thermal and basically are self destructing themselves as they print. But a print head for a PRO-100 is only about $70 so who cares!! Plus they are user replaceable!

This is true of non photo grade canon inkjets as well. You really have to run a print with them every other day or the printer will go through a cleaning cycle and you will waste a lot of ink. I just use the inkjet as the primary printer with one of the computers I use every day. The lazer is faster and less expensive to use but you have to exercise the inkjets to keep them happy.

I use my inkjet to print graphs 90% of the time because the color makes it easy to differentiate between the plots. Also most people own inkjets just for printing documents but some do let their priter sit fallow for a week at a time and then complain about excessive cleaning cycles and high ink usage.

@cheo1949

6 жыл бұрын

Well using an inkjet for just documents just doesn't make any sense! Unless you use it daily. One of the reasons is printers of that lower caliber are practically being given for almost free and the cost of inks hits you. Their response is...What, you didn't know?? On other hand if I have a high end inkjet that I use to create prints for sale and it cost a total of say $20 including paper and waste ink generated but I sell it for $100, then that makes sense to own that type printer. Using it for printing emails or web pages.... No way! People need to look at the situation that way. Inkjet technology is finicky as hell. When I worked wit drafting pens the various diameter would constantly clog and practically lived in the ultrasound bath. My fault for letting them dry from lack of use. Same thing applies to inkjets.

Ok. I just cleaned my pads myself, for free. My hands are dirty now but if i wore nitro gloves they would not be. so now I got this. I just need to print something, even a check heads test sheet every day or two and I will be all good. Oh yes, and I do not need a puppy. I don't pay squat for ink, this is why I love my cannon.

I have some directions here that I got off line but they do not seem to work, what I ended up doing was by passing the error by just clicking OK. it did come up again and I did the same thing I just pushed OK on the printer. The error code went away and the printer continues, i guess it may do that every time I shut it down and power it back up. it is working though so no biggie I guess. The instructions I got were like the damned Hokey pokey dance, they didn't do anything it seems but waste my time. i will keep looking though, if for nothing else but to save the extra clicks LOL Oh! those pads were easy to clean up, I used a little dawn detergent and hot water from the tap, I kept ringing them till the water ran clear and then I flattened them out in paper towels and set them on a rack in my oven on proof. which is 100 degrees worked great. the inks light right now, I took the head out and cleaned it the same way , I think it will get darker after a few prints go through. i was looking on eBay while my pads were drying and I saw print heads from China for that use ONLY BLACK, I wrote to ask how they work, that would be a huge money saver for me.
