No. The new printhead I tried on the failed board works perfectly once the board is replaced. So basically it only killed one printhead

Today I received the printer, installed the once installed head and the printer started working fine. As I have said before, my printer head did not cause the problem. It was the logic board that killed the printhead along with it. So once the board is dead, it cannot damage another head. Tech's...

I don't think I fried the new head. Basically the printer was saying incorrect printhead 1403 even when the printhead was not installed. Meaning the board was fried. Once it fries as heard its like fuses that go off in the logic IC. The issue starts with the board or print head and if the board...

I was happily using my IX6770 A3+ printer for about an year with very little use (Used around 500ml of ink with CISS). And suddenly the printer started to give B200 errors time to time (like once very 3 months). Suddenly I find that the printer is giving me 1403 meaning Printhead not found. So I...

Ok, this is weird... I didn't use my Canon IP3680 (IP3600) for around three weeks.... and when I turned it on there was a bit of noise when it was like cleaning at start.... then I did a nozzle check and it was 100% fine (yay! ispoperal alcohol in ink saves the day).... But when I tried to to...

Ok, I bought some Print-Rite ink from the local dealer but they don't have pigment... they say its too expensive. Anyway is it possible for me to use the print rite black dye ink in my IP3680's pigment cartridge? Thanks

Epson uses Print-rite dye ink. And both Epson and Canon used the same paper.

I've used Inktec ink with my Canon IP3680. I've printed some photo's and sold them (two or three) I kept one at my house inside in the hall. After a while (around 12 days) I've noticed it fading. The photo was printed on Kodak Glossy Photo Paper (4R). At the same time I bought a Epson and used...

o_O, thats putting soap into ink? :o I hope it won't create bubbles :rolleyes:

No credit card. Anyway I think its safe to put a few drops for like 50ml of ink coz 1000ml only costs 34 USD.

Is it ok to mix a few drops of Isopropyl Alcohol to dye ink to make it more smooth for the Epson print head...

My very first refill was with a Canon BJC 1000SP. The cartridges were very expensive and I didn't know about refilling. I was around 14. I was sick of ink running out so what I did was took out the BC-6 cart and punched three holes at the top using a heated screw driver. Used screw driver to...

I used BCI-6 Inktec ink in my CLI-8 IP3500 and after sometime it killed my print head :( BCI-6 ink is a bit darker than CLI-8 ink

SOLVED : Thanks to The Hat for all the support he gave (is he the only good helping person left here? :( ) When I first bought the printer I bought some refillable cartiridges and used some cheap ink. Afterwards I bought a CISS and they gave good quality ink with it. When I looked closely at...

I'm using print-rite ink. Here is what I did just now I took some isopropyl alcohol placed some on the head park just before the head rested over it. I am seeing improvements in the nozzle check. I'm also thinking of mixing some water into the dye ink because the ink is a bit too dark for...
