I don't know if there are any discussions / advice on this that I've missed.....tried the search facility but no luck. Basically...perfect nozzle print except no yellow at all. Tried a few cleaning cycles and now stuck as ink levels are too low to do any more. All original Canon inks so...

I had that printer but it died (printhead failure). I used German OCP inks and I still have prints in boxes that are many years old but look as fresh as when first produced. I have wondered about have some on display. Proper framing with UV glass will help preserve dye prints; even proper...

Update on above......I've been running a daily nozzle check for several days and one of the missing greys has fully returned...but the other is still totally blank. I'm going to continue with the daily nozzle check process for now.....but is there any reason one channel would be completely...

I have to disagree with you on the R3000 print quality....the first thing I did when I was given the pro 1s was to check the quality against the R3000s I own. I admit the test is somewhat superficial as the Epsons are calibrated and I had to wing it a bit with the Canon (but I did have the Pro...

Just an update on this. Somewhere I read that an owner solved an identical problem to mine by doing little more than running a nozzle check each day, and eventually (after about three weeks as I recall) the nozzle check was perfect. I decided to give it a go, and after a few days I can see one...

Thanks for the above advice. I am confident I can refill the Pgi-29 carts once I acquire the correct filling nozzle; I just want to be sure I'm getting inks that work together. As it happens, I own two Epson R3000s...and none of this is a problem. Finding compatible or Epson inks for these...

Thanks for the info. I can have the printer calibrated so I can cope with inks that are not a perfect colour match. I was hoping to get the defective printer working and dedicate it to B+W only...using a mix of these inks and OEM carts (where needed to make the proper colour set). The printer...

Two questions here. I have been given two Pro-1s. One works perfectly, the other doesn’t……two colours won’t print. If I can’t fix it I’m tempted to use the cartridges (they all currently have ink) in the printer that does work. My questions are these: Anyone know where I can find decent bulk...

Thanks..sounds a bit encouraging. Can you describe...step by step....how you got the print head out? I have not found any info on doing this; and also, have read a few scare stories about the inks being pressurised and squirting out. As mentioned, I have one that works perfectly...but think it...

This is my first post...and I know it is a subject that has been discussed before...but can't find a satisfactory answer. Basically...I have been given two pro - 1 printers...both in very good condition. One works perfectly; the other has two missing colours. These are GY and LGY. I have...
