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...

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...
