Wanted to update this thread with the resolution in case anyone else is having a similar issue. After trying two different sets of refillable cartridges and continuing to have problems with the cyan; I purchased a new set and the cyan is now back to normal. For some reason the PC cyan ink and...

Thanks, I'll focus on the carts when I get some free time.

So now after printing about 30 pages the cyan is exhibiting the same issue. Maybe this needs a longer soak?

Update: I used a combination of extended soak in Windex (2 days), warm water flush from the tap, and a short 2 hour soak in warm water + a few drops of dish soap. I may have a slight alignment issue that I'll have to address, but it looks like things are mostly back to normal. Thanks for all...

Wow, this describes my exact usage patterns. In fact, I have this exact same printer and am having what may be the same problem you are experiencing. My thread is here: https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/ts9020-partial-loss-of-cyan-color.13623/post-118317 I ran two sets of factory Canon...

The nozzle check did not improve after doing a few cleanings/test prints over the last couple of days. I have the printhead out and soaking in some Windex for the next 24 hours and will try to see if this improves things. After removing the carts I did see some blue ink pooling in the printhead...

My new carts came in yesterday, they are refillable cartridges like my original set but are a slightly different design and using different ink. I installed the cyan cart and ran a cleaning, let it sit overnight and then ran another cleaning. Here are the results (to me this looks better)...

I couldn't find the exact settings in my scanner (from the link you included) but was able to alter a couple and generate the following from a new nozzle check. I have a new cyan cart arriving tomorrow to re-test.

Thanks, and happy new year to you too! I purged the cyan cart last night, dried it out, and refilled this morning. Unfortunately there is no change in the nozzle check. Next step is to buy another set of carts to see if this one is "bad". Alternatively, I do have a brand new Canon gray cart I...

Hi, I'm having a problem with my TS9010 printer where the cyan color is only partially printing. I've attached a nozzle check, the jpg was taken from my phone and the pdf was from generated by the scanner (note, for some reason the scanner appears to show problems with the other colors that I...

Are you referring to the HP or Epson ink with the underlined statement?

@LisaVorder Hi Lisa, I'm in Pleasant Hill and would kindly take the pro-100 off your hands and maybe one set of cartridges. PM me with your price. Edit:

What's the better option for photo printing, one of the Maxify models (with PC or Octo pigmented ink) or one of the Epson eco-tank printers (ET-3700/ET7700)? Seems the OEM Epson ink is priced competitively against the 3rd party options for the Canon.

I have a bunch of them for the IP3000's I support. So far they work good for both color and B/W text and graphics. However, I haven't tried any photo's yet. I get them for about $2.00 per cart shipped from www.advantage-data.com
