Hi Gang and Merry Xmas from New Zealand,
Down here the Pixma 5000 came out with a CD/DVD Printing capability as standard,unlike the North American Model that had to be adapted
My Problem is after two years of good CD/DVD Printing My Pixma 5000 Just wont Print CD or DVD Media,everything else is...
Do you think Canon try to unblock print heads, or just put another one in in a warranty situation??
Can they get so blocked that they are unblock able.or with perseverance and the right knowledge are they salvageable??

After two Print heads I have came to the conclusion that Pixma 4000/5000,s don't like third party Pigment based Ink.
The other colors work fine, even the black dyed based BCI -6BK,but that Oll 3BK with its one Picolitre tolerance is fussy...Ok I can hear Granddad and all the refillers in North...
Hi Guys, My dear old Aunt has an old Canon SP1000,that has the Canon BC-01&02 Carts for black and BC-05 for the three color one.
Has anyone ever refilled the BC-02.and if they have is it as easy as the BC1-6 that my Pixma uses???

Break down a lot is an understatement..lol lol ...In eighteen months i have needed two replacement print heads ,both done under warranty thank god..
Dint get me wrong I love these printers and the quality of their prints,however its a pitty that that quality is not matched on the design and...
Digital its the BCI-3BK Pigment based ink that will block up Pixma Print Heads
Unless you are one hundred percent sure of the Quality of your supplier when refilling the BCI3s ,use an original and only third party or refills for your Dye Based carts that never ever seem to cause a problem....
Well after about three weeks, a happy conclusion to the faulty purge unit on my pixma 5000.
Canon have sent me down a new Pixma 5000 under warranty so it has cost me zilch..):):)..
It is just so great to have my Pixma 5000 back and printing away...
Down here in New Zealand the Pixmas come with...
Good Point,however being down here in New Zealand the freight may be a bit high
I have already contacted Canon and kicked up a bit of a fuss and they say they will run an eprom check and just see how many pages I have printed since the new prinhead and if its reasonable and not excessive they...
Thanks Inject Master,Yes as you will know when you do a deep clean, you get the option to do BCI3 By itself so it must have its own tube etc..
The canon Agents are saying that it looks as though I will have to bare the cost of a new Purge Unit unless the Eprom shows that it has has very little...
Has anyone had to replace a Pixma 4000 0r 5000 ect Purge unit in their printers yet??
Mine was not printing the BCI 3bk Pigment Black and the Canon Agent is saying that its the Purge unit??
Doesn't the Light Flash Four Times if that happens??
This Machine has a Print head that is only five...
I can empathize with you,the same thing has happened TWICE to my Pixma 5000
It is the Pigment bases BCI-3ebk that is the problem...you just cant fill them with third party ink and not have a problem,the other four are fine (CYMB)but I have learned the hard way that if you want to use third...
I have a Pixma 5000 that is doing the excact same thing with the the 3e Bk which as you wil know, is the bigger of the two Black carts that prints Text...
I believe that it does not like any third Party Ink and eventually blocks up ...
Black will not print at all unless i set it to Gloosy or...
Thanks Guys for your Input it is much appreciated..
The Printer will still Print Color Photos and the likes if i set the paper at Photo Glossy, and it uses the black BCI -6BK But its just the Text Type Black that comes from the BCi-3 that wont print and on a nozzle pattern test the top black...
