Sounds like your printheads are overheating. Where I work, they tried Epsons years ago and had all kinds of troubles with them. We currently run 40 Canon Pro-100’s with refilled carts and we run all day long, two shifts actually.

Good luck! I sent some of our Pro-100’s to the local Canon service center to have the pads replaced and they said they couldn’t get the parts! This, from a factory service center!

Try setting the Printer profile in InDesign to " Document RGB" at the top of the drop down list. Works for most things, but a custom profile is the way to go. Then you can make a preset in the print driver with adjusted colour, Canon's don't like to print without their own colour management on...

We print 90% of our jobs in HQ because the image requires it. We're dealing with corporate logos, which you can't be trying to reduce the amount of coverage. Mr. Hat, we change out with a third left in the reservoir always. Mike taught me that a long time ago. Unfortunately I can't run in quiet...

Well.... Mike is correct in the theory of repeating the same image over and over. We've been running some insane jobs lately, one was 10,000 prints!, but I've been doing this for years now and have never run into this. The other colors on some of these jobs are being hit just as hard and...

I haven't seen anyone posting anything similar to this, so I'm hoping someone can help out. We've been running into serious trouble with only the Cyans on our fleet of Pro-100's. Tried different inks, (3), cartridges and they all run into the cyan plugging the head. not a good thing when so...

That is usually the case, unless the box says Digital. then it's short grain;)

For what it's worth, a Pro-100 prints very well on uncoated card stocks. We use Neenah environment 80 or 100 lb. cover all the time. Just make sure the grain is short, or running the short dimension of your sheet. If you buy from a paper merchant, they'll have what's called Digital Ready stock...

Well, I know what I do and use isn't what's considered normal ( 15 Pro-100's ), but over the years since the Pro-100 came out we have been refilling carts. Both OEM and aftermarket. The OEM carts will always need to be flushed out and dried at some point because the printers create a wall of...

Yeah, you're right there Mike.

You can buy sets of CLI-42 carts from China. They work perfectly, we have about 12 sets in our collection. In fact they're sponge is different, so that they almost never have flow problems.

Well, As someone who does this for a living where we refill on average 150 carts a week I have some comments. The OP's picture is a little overfull, but not by much. New carts are filled to almost the top, so that's what we do. No problems. We use a hose attached to a faucet that fits in the...

Where I work, we probably average around 200 - 300 refills a week. I've had several carts retired because the chip just wouldn't reset anymore! We use a powered Red Setter we got from Precision Colors, and keep 2 backups because we had one of those wear out too!

Definitely needs to be flushed. The bubbles must be horrendous!
