    PRO-1 - Is the print head dead?

    Do you mean the advice to give up trying to find a fix and get a new printer? I may end up doing that, but first I'd like to pursue repairing what I have if I can.

    PRO-1 - Is the print head dead?

    Whoa! I thought I had carefully replied to each piece of advice I have gotten here with a description of what I have done and tried and the results. Can you please state what *exactly* I am repeatedly ignoring? Thanks.

    PRO-1 - Is the print head dead?

    Yes, checked carts for any issues. They were filled using the same process (Jose Rodriquez's process from youtube) as all the other colors, and that I have been using since switching to PC Signature inks. Tubing looks fine as far as I can see. No obvious obstructions. But, yeah... that second...

    PRO-1 - Is the print head dead?

    Just curious: Is there nothing significant to the fact that the same 2 colors were a problem on 2 print heads while the other 10 colors were fine? Could the problem lie elsewhere in the ink system. Other than using a replacement head that you thought might not be legit, what did I not follow...

    PRO-1 - Is the print head dead?

    Using the replacement print head I had, which as I said came straight from Canon USA in 2014, was my only shot once the B200 error appeared. If it's a naff unit, than well, I tried my best. But it sure is a strange coincidence the same 2 colors are still having the same problem as before. I'm...

    PRO-1 - Is the print head dead?

    Okay, well I have spent my Saturday following The Hat's excellent documentation on disassembling the Pro-1 and changing out the print head. Got it back up on the table and powered on and connected to the computer. No errors, everything looking good. Everything going as expected so far. Printed...

    PRO-1 - Is the print head dead?

    Well it came straight from Canon USA warranty dept., so have to assume it's a legit unit even if the box doesn't match exactly with a current retail unit. What about the B200 error? Wouldn't I have to clear that first before head change? As for reason for low print count, lack of time sir, only...

    UPDATE - Now it's giving the B200 error when I power on.

    PRO-1 - Is the print head dead?

    As it turns out, I have an original OEM Canon replacement print head. I had some issues with the printer when I first got it and Canon ended up replacing the printer under warranty and included a new print head in the box with the replacement, which I have not needed to use. I am fairly...

    PRO-1 - Is the print head dead?

    I've been using this printer for many years with never any issues but now the MBK and CO won't print a correct nozzle check. I have been using Precision Color signature inks for about 2 years, again, with no issues, until now. I have already tried most of what has been suggested in other posts...
