Because my Canon ip3600 was printing well but finally failed with broken printhead. I was thinking to buy a new printhead the cost about 46GBP, but new printer is for ~65GBP. The quality of printing is very good, but this printer is ink waster and seems to live its own life. I need some...

I have a Canon printer Pixma ip3600. I'm becoming very nervous user of this brand. This damn printer is cleaning round and round, draining my precious Hobbicolor ink all the time, before, during and after printing, Even I choose grayscale it sounds like this printer is cleaning all the nozzles...

My printer is IP3600. This printer is doing preparations for printing far too long and wastes a lot of ink during this procedure. I have experienced the same issue. PGBK is somehow clogged. All other colors including dye black looks ok. I reffiled my carts with Hobbicolor. I think I allowed the...
