    Good printer for home occasional use

    Yeah, the latter so mostly 10 pages at one time in a month. Sometimes, it could even go a few months without any printing. I'm just tired of paying for overpriced printing services when it's time for me to print. Could I get away with the ink drying up issue with ink tank printers if I print a...

    Good printer for home occasional use

    I need an all-in-one printer (scanner, copier, printer). From my research, I've narrowed down my brand choices to just either Brother or Epson. For occasional use, should I be looking for a laser printer? Going back to my printing habits over the years, I've only needed to print in black but I...

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    Ok. This is just so frustrating. I should've not bought a used one from ebay. It just cost me a lot including the shipping from USA to the Philippines.

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    If I bring this to a Canon repair center, will they need installed OEM ink cartridges?

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    Ok. So that means that the printer destroyed those 2 print heads?

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    Ok. What could've caused the logic board being damaged? I don't see why it would be damaged if the timing strip was the only component that was cleaned, right?

    Did that and here's what I have with the old print head: Nothing really changed.

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    Very unlikely too but how do I check?

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    I agree. The only problem with my old print head is the PGBK and the other colors were perfect. Now both of these print heads have identical pin-striping deficits. I am actually retracing everything and the only I could think of is alcohol going into the optical eye or something but that is...

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    Sorry about that. I did follow your advice of cleaning the timing strip first and see if it does something while using the old print head because I soaked the new print head in Windex for two days. To be clear, the last nozzle check I printed was the new print head but it had the same exact...

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    Oh no no, this is not because of soaking the print head. I was using the old print head when I cleaned the timing strip. I printed a nozzle check pattern before and immediately after I was done cleaning the timing strip. The before was perfect with the colors but the after presented the same...

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    Straman, I don't what happened here :( Immediately after cleaning the timing strip (which is very easy to do), my problem got worse: What is wrong with this? :(

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    There were no instructions that came with the print head, unfortunately. I thought it was just safe to let it dry for a couple of hours before using it as others have always recommended before to not install a wet print head. I'm actually printing a nozzle check pattern in portrait mode as it...

    No PGBK nozzle pattern printed on Canon Pixma MP830

    Here's what I have this time: I think the M bar is fixed now and the BK improved a little bit. The weird thing I have now is why do I have a dull-colored Y bar?! I also noticed that dull-colored Y bar on one of my nozzle check print test pages yesterday but I thought it was just ink settling...
