    Canon in trouble,and are raising prices - 2009 2nd quarter report

    I have noticed that when buying Canon cartridges lately from my wholesaler, the cost has gone up by 25%-40% in Canada. This has been reflected even in the big chain stores, where Canon cartridges are much more expensive than last year. NO wonder..they are losing money AND profits. Is it the...

    Canon i9900 and Canon PIXMA Pro9000 info needed.

    I need some help and opinions from the experts here. My always - trustworthy i9900 might be on the way out. I had a bad paper jam last night which I cannot clear. Not only that, every print lately has long black lines on the bottom of every print, and I do not have the technical savvy or tools...

    Odd "italics" printing

    Every once in a while while using a BCI-3 or CLI-8 cartridge, I will get text printing that looks like Italics, not normal print. Not every line does this, just an occasional line here and there on the page, which makes it even more confusing. I also get the odd (sometimes very odd) customers...

    Unclogging a printhead when nothing else works.

    Quite by accident, I have found a new way of unclogging 2 stubborn Canon printheads after trying every method mentioned here without success. Too bad I discovered this AFTER buying replacement printheads from Canon, one for an i-860, the other an ip3000. I took one of the "dead" printheads from...

    Canon i9900 roller cleaning problem

    I'm not the most technical guy here, and I need some advice. My wonderful i9900 printer still prints great photos, but on the bottom of the prints there are 8-10 black lines. Cleaning the rollers from the top did not work. I will need to disassemble the printer in order to better access the...

    New Canon Cli-221 and PGI-220 cartridges - G-R-R-R.....

    Looks like Canon's is still playing cat-and-mouse with the new series of cartridges. ..probably changed the chip so that the redsetter and other resetters will not work with this new series. It would be handy to know if by any small chance, if the new cli-221s and pgi-220s can be reset. If...

    Question about "waterproof" inks

    I have an odd question. A local mining company has asked me for a colour printer that will print 17 x 11 prints, and which has inkjet inks that won't run. Miners will take this underground where there are wet conditions. He would rather not laminate for the expense. I presume Epson's inks would...

    Yet another Canon "waste ink" question - for the newer models.

    I have 2 customers - one has an ip 1600, the other has an ip 2200. The fellow with the ip 2200 just got his error after printing (he claims) around 1500 pages...mostly text. I find it hard to believe that this has happened so soon, unless Canon's planned obsolescence time is getting shorter and...
