Hi everyone, I recently thought that my magenta was partially missing from recent prints compared to older prints, so I placed some distilled water on the printhead screen inlet, and on the park pads but the nozzle checks looked the same. So I made a windex w ammonia cleaning cart and printed...

Just wondering (may not be a good idea) if anyone has tried drilling a hole somewhere in the bottom of canon printers to allow controlled draining of any accumulated waste ink into a container when the dreaded "waste tank full" error appears. (to avoid having to disassemble printer and clean or...

I have a PDF file of an ip4200 service manual from canon. Again, probably from a google search a while ago. If there's a way to put them in this forum's library, let me know and I'll send it to someone to check out. Scans OK in Norton antit-virus check.

I have a ip4500 Simplified Service Manual PDF file which I found several years ago, probably from a google search. I unfortunately don't recall where I downloaded it from, however, it scans ok in Norton antivirus. Is there some way to post it to this site's library? If so I can send it to...

ip4300: What to check in Ext Nozzle Print & How to read EEPROM Report From the ip4300 Simplified Service Manual PDF file which I found at: www.gondack.com.ar/media/useruploads/files/ip4300-ssm.pdf the last few pages: 1. Gives a Sample Extended Nozzle Check printout: 2: Explains what...

RE: Download ip4300 Simplified Service Manual Hi folks, I was able to locate a PDF file of "ip4300 Simplified Service Manual" (ip4300-ssm.pdf) at this link from a google search: www.gondack.com.ar/media/useruploads/files/ip4300-ssm.pdf Rob, perhaps you can add it to the site for...

Hi, I was able to do an extended nozzle test for the first time on my ip4300. I don't know how to read it. Does it look ok? (Note: The Top left grey box actually looks evenly printed on paper) I also did an EPROM report. Anything of note in this? Is my total number of pages printed...

Hello, Well today it appears that my PGI-5 is completely blocked, as there is no pattern at all in my nozzle check for my PIXMA ip4300. Yesterday it was working fine. I tried drops of distilled water on the park pads and the circular screen that the cart sits on multiple times, but it did not...

Hi everyone, Some kind soul gave me a bag of once used, dried out, OEM CLI-8 and PGI-5 cartridges. Can you tell me whether you think I should flush them before refilling them? Flush them all? Flush only the PGI-5? Or no need to flush, just refill and seal the exit port and vent? Anyone had...

Hi everyone, Wondering if you think it would be a good preventative measure to periodically remove the carts and put a drop or 2 of distilled water on the screens and the park pads... Would this avert what might be clogs in the coming? Or do you think it would be a problem for any reason? Just...

Hi everyone, After reading the two long posts on resetters initiated by Binkie and Defcon2k re: the RKS vs Sudhaus issue, there have been no other posts on this topic. Wondering if there are any other thoughts on this issue, as I'm trying to make a decision about purchasing one and am unclear...

Hi everyone, I had some observations as I went through my first complete clogging of my pgi-5 cartridge, which I noticed by the absence of the complete pgi-5 part of the nozzle check as seen below: nozzle check with clogged pgi-5: [notice that the pgi-5 part of the pattern is completely...

Hi all, I have been refilling for a while without problems. My pgi5 cart on my ip4300 was still printing, but when I checked, the reservoir was completely empty. I refilled but when I printed out the nozzle check the pgi5 section is completely missing. Can you please outline steps I should...

FYI: I noticed that the optimal needle length for using the Durchstich refill method seems to be 50 mm (a little less than 2 inches). This length allows you to push the needle fully in until the plastic base of the needle stops further entry, and this leaves the needle tip just short of...

Hi folks, I have an canon ip4300, and I found someone who is going to give me a bunch of used OEM CLI-8/PGI-5 carts from their printer, which I would like to purge and refill. I believe the answer is no, but the chips don't record what printer they were used in, do they? I.E. any reason to...

I just noticed that Druckerchannel.de has instructions for replacing sponges when the "Waste Tank Full" message appears. Includes close up photos. Might want to save this link: (English version) http://www.druckerchannel.de/artikel.php?ID=1831&seite=1

Hi everyone, This is a basic question, but given that there seems to be a variety of tips out there, it might be of use to many. The question is what folks would recommend for good inkjet usage tips in order to PREVENT problems. Some examples I have heard: -- run a nozzle test every day...

Hi Everyone, If you have an HP 1100 D Inkjet printer, I have leftover refill ink (MIS - 4 pint bottles), as well as parts from my printer which I am going to toss out. Trays, original printheads... Would much rather that someone use it than it end up in a landfill. If you are interested...

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum but want to express my appreciation to everyone. This is a great forum! The spirit of helping each other is quite impressive. I have read through many of the posts and FAQs. I have just bought a Canon ip4300 inkjet. I have several questions about...
