Hello, my apparent bad luck with printers strikes again, last night I was having a few issues printing a document, may of been related, may not, but I decided to table it and try to figure it out before I went to work the next day. Fast forward to this morning, I turned my printer on and it...

The print head is a warranted item and in my experience, if you are in warranty they are more then happy to send a new one. They may want proof of purchase though. (For me, once I didn't have to provide it, other time I did)

So I had a chance to test ink wicking through the printhead. Just leaving the print head on a paper towel easily shows that the head matches the cart arrangement, G R PM BK PC C M Y i.imgur.com/BK6YGW1.png Though not much wicks out, not enough to tell anything for sure and it is all very...

Sorry should of explained better, what I mean by that is that I only have one set of Canon carts, so I can't run quite as many tests on them before they run out. What has made this so frustrating is I have been trying to go through changing one thing at a time till I get the same output error...

Well after a long day of testing, I can say that I am nowhere closer to figuring out what causes the issue. Despite my best efforts I can't figure out a pattern of what causes it. Using all Canon carts seems to get a clear output, but that may just be due to having less of them. Anyone of have...

I agree that my post last night was a little premature, mostly due to frustration. I am redoing the tests today, with OEM carts and my refill ones to attempt to find the root cause. I am unsure why the second test print did so much worse with BK and Yellow, though I missed those because I was...

With closer inspection, everything is not well in spare printer land. Today I noticed some odd banding in a print, it looked like magenta was giving some faint banding in the first 1/4 inch to inch of the print, so I ran a nozzle check but it looked good. i.imgur.com/ToQdpgz.jpg I was...

Bit of an update. After talking to Canon support, a new print head is in the mail, so props to them and their fast support! And on the topic of overheating, I do usually run the printer with max dry time between pages, so hopefully that helps a bit.

This isn't normal use for the printer, I usually print a lot less with it. And whenever possible I wouldn't let the carts run out of ink, but even then Yellow usually isn't an issue, PM and PC tend to run low sooner.

Hopefully is it, I do have the set of OEM carts from the spare's box and will be using those if I send it in. I just shot Canon an email about it. But in the mean time, I'm back up and running with the spare printer.

Will do, that or ebay. But was asking because I do have a spare Pro 9000 in box and was wondering if I should bother switching the entire printer, or just the head.

Here is the normal nozzle check, i.imgur.com/xvAkqUk.jpg And here is the one from the service tool, i.imgur.com/eonOW5O.jpg Thank you for confirming my fears, though I still find the results of the Extended test page odd, if it was just the print head, wouldn't the missing nozzles be constant...

I have been using my Pro 9000 Mark II for about half a year now, and it has worked flawlessly. Been refilling with IS inks since pretty much day one. I was nearing the end of a 250ish page order that I had been working on for a couple of days, before starting the next batch I swapped out any...

Just a note about Epsons, I have a limited (recent) experience with the brand, but a few weeks ago picked up a 7600 from a local seller. From what I can tell it was used at some point, some ink in the waste tank, lines having some ink in them, but has been sitting unused for quite a long while...
