Thanks for that, Websnail. I filled the carts with cleaning fluid and straight away got cyan and yellow near perfect. :) So now i'll give it time and perhaps try a compatable set of carts in a week or so. It seems the carts may be the problem. BTW how do you get it to run a purge cycle?

Hi, I just picked up two printers from the recycling depot. A canon Bj 10EX and a Epson C86. The former must be fairly old and yet worked straight away, the latter - nothing printed. From its general condition it has seen little use and the carts may well be the original, they are OEM. I have...

I finally gave up and got a new printhead from Inkcessories. I then took the old one apart as the yellow had missing lines and the blue was now cross contaminating. There was no visible problem and on reassembly it worked as before ie I had obviously damaged some of the yellow jets and the seal...

When it was pointed out that my leaking cartridge would eventually bring waste tank problems I wanted to find out how full the tank was. Unfortunately all the instructions available to obtain this did not work (or I simply did not do them quite right). The Nifty- Stuff article on waste tank got...

The print-rite cart 3Ebk from B&S worked ok for two days then there was some leakage but not from it. It was the Bci6bk! Obviously the carts have been in and out frequently and I had not noticed before but the rip off tab had not cleared the air inlet port. So maybe I have been looking in the...

Print-rite 3EBk cartridge ink smears a little. I wonder if any UK compatible cartridge suppliers ink doesn't run!

Well I'm still not getting this solved. I returned the Inkcycle carts and their customer service chap said We fill the carts with canon compatible ink it should be fine. I had pointed him to the forum thread on this. While waiting for some new carts I left the machine for a few days with the...

Jettec 3ebk cartridges also run

Thanks for the replies. I have tested the ink 3Ebk and it does run so I posted result to that thread. The waste tank problem is something else. Are there any instructions/ photos on taking a Mp760 apart and resetting the waste tank warning? (when it comes!). I'd better get some Canon carts and...

Inkcycle refill cartridges 3Ebk do run.

I have had the Canon MP760 for over a year. I used the original cartridges then Inkrite compatables then refilled some and more recently changed to Inkcycle which supplied compatables for my HP printer. Several months ago I put in a refilled 3ebk cartridge (IRefilled)and was surprised to come...
