In the end, no cleaning/soaking with alcohol, window cleaner, distilled water or dedicated cleaning solution, including using syringes to push/pull the liquid through the head and nozzles, helped. I ended up buying a new head and that has resolved it. I guess you can end up with blocked nozzles...

I tried searching but the way the search function parses search arguments did not allow me to get any good results for this query. I used to print on Canon Photo Paper Pro, code PP-101. That no longer seems to be marketed by Canon; was that replaced by PT-101? I thought I read somewhere that...

Sorry, I was referring to palombian's mention of the files for ColorMunki Photo, which have disappeared from the X-Rite web site. If I do decide to go the CR30 route, I know there are lots of files in your other thread and I see you and others have done a lot of work to make the process less...

Indeed. I don't suppose anyone here might have files to share via PM? 😉

Thanks @pharmacist . I see you have been experimenting with the CR30, LAB, csv files etc. I started looking through that thread but didn't find out whether you have come to a stable method that works using ArgyllCMS+CR30 to profile a printer. The recent posts seem to suggest there are still some...

Well, I have profiled the scanner using an IT8 target, but the Vuescan procedure for printer profiling includes printing its own target (https://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/html/vuesc18.htm). I'll have a go at the Vuescan method first and report on the results. I use ArgyllCMS for a long time now...

I posted a question here a couple of days ago but it seems to have disappeared, so I am reformulating it: Has anyone used a (calibrated) flatbed scanner with Vuescan to profile a printer? This has been mentioned in the forum as a possibility but I haven't found any post that confirms anyone...

😂😂

I have only ever profiled my displays, never my printer or scanner. Now I am thinking of dipping my toe into this field and am hoping for some advice. I have read about the different devices, targets, ArgyllCMS etc. At least starting out, I want to do this on a shoestring budget, so my current...

I ran a deep clean and the nozzle check pattern didn't really improve, if anything it worsened in a few spots. Before buying a new head I will get a cleaning kit with syringe and tubing and see if it can restore the nozzles.

I have a G3501 that does not see high volume use. I use original Canon ink. There are some issues on the nozzle check print-out: I have tried the built-in cleaning and also done manual cleaning as follows: I let the black print head sit in an alcohol/distilled water mix overnight and then...

Thanks. I agree, I think the air comes in at the printhead end. In fact, as soon as you open the printhead holder so that the contact between the supply tubes and the top of the printheads is broken, air quickly goes in and the ink retreats back towards the reservoirs. I'll give that a go...

This is my concern...having invested last year in a Canon G3501 Megatank because it seemed a sensible financial decision compared to continuing to purchase expensive cartridges. Now, with some experience, I am doubting the decision. When I still had a cartridge-based Canon inkjet, the ink would...

I have an MG5650 showing error 6000. I have opened it up and cleaned the sensor wheel, and done a bit of rattling/shaking about, but there is no change. From reading a lot of different posts in this forum, I gather it might be worth trying to reset the absorber counter using a Service Tool. I...

Many thanks for your quick and helpful reply! I have printed a nozzle check pattern. Same procedure with the links, remove the space before //. Full: http: //imageshack.us/photo/my-images/43/nozzlecheck1.jpg/ Detail 1, showing some banding: http...
