The Magenta saga continues...
Got my replacement print head from Canon Friday morning so decided to see exactly what was going on with the clogged head.
Made up a rig similar to the Power Flush product. A piece of tubing which fits tightly over the ink feed tubes in the print head attached to...
PeterBJ,
My thoughts when this first occurred, However, the Magenta block did not clear as it did with the Yellow block. It seemed you could clear the yellow blockage with some hot water and some windex but the magenta block is permanent, will not clear with anything.
When I called Canon...
My magenta has started to show missing nozzles like the above nozzle check and no amount of cleaning/soaking with windex shows any improvement. A call to Canon tech support is in the works.
Is this a print head failure? It appears to be.
JTOOLMAN - you stated "
I need to tell you that...
For the Pro-100 it works. Follow the button press sequence to put the printer into service mode then run the service tool.
I am running Win 7, 64 bit so I ran Service Tool V3200 and worked as advertised. I just ran the print tests, did not try any resets.
After I was done, turn off the...
I am using the OEM cartridges that came with the printer. The canceled print occurred in both Win 8.1 64 bit and Win 7 64 bit.
I originally tried it in 8.1 and thought it could be the OS, booted Win 7 and got the same result.
I am running firmware version 1.1
Hi All,
This is not about ink monitoring but about the chip. I have been refilling and resetting using mikling's PRO-100 inks and the resetter. I'm on my third cycle of refills.
I was fooling around with the canon product My Image Garden which will download various print related subjects...
To all that contributed a suggestion to my problem, a big Thank You.
The Hat, I really cleaned the timing slit disk and removed the sensor and cleaned it. There was some ink in the sensor slot.
A closer look showed that the ink absorber pad had moved out into the path of the disk as it turned...

His site shows: Discontinued by Canon; but still available.
I just bought an i9900 print head from him.
trcrefill,
Thanks for your assment but if the horizontal head alignment is off wouldn't that show up accross the entire length of the print rather than ever 1.5 inches?
PeterBJ, Thanks for your input.
The problem shows up as faint lighter color rows top to bottom.
I will rescan and resize.
I ran a head alighment on photo paper rather than plain paper, I'll reprint and see if that helped.
Again, thanks for your help.

It could be a problem with the paper feed. Apart from the timing strip the printer also has an optical encoding disc that determines the rotation of the paper feed rollers. I think that if this disc is dirty it could cause the paper feed systen to feed a few extra millimetres at...
Thank You for your response The Hat.
I believe that you are referencing the disc that PeterBJ and I were discussing. I took PeterBJ's advice and cleaned it with windex rather than isopropyl alcohol.
Got it really clean with windex but the problem is still present.
Thanks for your input
Thanks for your input.
I have probably done more nozzle checks and head alignments in the past several days than I have done over the life of the printer.
Thank you Peter for your quick reply. You refer to "optical encoding disc " which I believe I referenced as the "timing slit disk". I've had problems with that before where a half page would print then quit or it could not find "top of page" and not print anything.
I will need to cut up a...
