The newest of my Canon printers, the IP6000D, that takes the BCI-6 ink cartridges is giving me trouble; so thinking about what next. I am a long time refiller but have not done any with the chips.
Need to be off to do some other shopping. Anyone have any suggestions even before I get into...
Rather than use newspaper or such I literally inherited a foil oven liner (intended to catch drips in the oven of a kitchen stove) which I use to catch ink drips, etc. when refilling. When done any that got on it easily rinses off.
Yes, I should have said I was not surprised to find a PM or M missing after the green print.
This morning the bubbles in the PM were down and I found nothing that looked out of place on the bottom of the head (nozzles). I did a nozzle check that came out fine. So I took a chance and ran the...
What Next!!!
I did a search for more cleaning information (which was not as fruitful as I hoped most search engines dont seem to expect thing phrased the way that is natural for me). By going through the steps described at post #4 in the thread here...
bbbbb
Sorry I wasnt clear enough about nozzle check pattern. I am posting a scan that I hope comes through clear enough. The odd colors are in what I guess you would call titles at the start of each color bar. Then the only thing off in the bars is the missing bars for the cyan.

I did use your cleaning process and it was after that seemed to be helping that I got the new cartridge. Once again a qoute from my post just previous to this one: "Going to it seemed to finish solving my problems as I got a good nozzle check and printed a number of pages that were mainly...
After things seemed to be improving I decided to get a new black cart. on Sunday, May 18. Going to it seemed to finish solving my problems as I got a good nozzle check and printed a number of pages that were mainly text. I was ready to post my thanks but before I got to it. . .
Then . . ...
Thanks for the replies.
It is a relief to know I am not contending with a case of burned out nozzles.
Now to double check some things before I start doing. Want to make sure you understand I am located in the US.
What I have on hand in the way a cartridges for possible use in the black...
I had a feeling that it had been long enough since I have posted any images here that I woud struggle with relearning it. That was the case but as I start this post I have gotten one up and hope to do two more. This was the reason they were not in my first post as I needed to go on to...
This Canon printer uses 6 of the BCI-6 carts. I was having a great experience with this printer for just over a year until I tried to do a very large print job of black text (duplex printing on 8.5" x 11" sheets) for our church newsletter (it takes 125 sets). I made the attempt to do this at...
I went through a similar series of things with pulling the Canon ball and reinserting as Lilla did except for the rust which I didn't get from the BRASS eye-screws I was using. I did have an additional problem of it sticking up to far from the top of the cart with the latest printer I have as...
I have been looking for a long thread that I remember about sealing the refill hole on Canon OEM BCI-6 carts and can't find it even after doing a search. But, did run across this drying idea http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1404 which looks like something I want to try since I...
