Hello folks, just new to this site and I am wondering if anyone can help with this Canon i850 problem. I have recently been getting a brown look to my photo's, on printing a nozzle check the blocks L & M are brown (no banding) , not black as they should be. I understand that these blocks should a combination of the 3 colours CMY to produce the photo black. I have tried deep cleaning and a thorough clean of the printhead to no avail.
It is possible that I need a new printhead but I could buy a new printer for the same price.
Has anyone advice re buying from Canon outlet on e-bay, for example does the Canon 1 year warranty hold up.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
