I should have mentioned that I installed a "new" Chinese print head, But the thing is, is that all carts lit up, then they didn't.

I haven't use my printer in four or five years, decided to get back into art printing. It has third party cartridges, although I intend to print with genuine Canon. I opened the lid, saw all the lights lit up. Cool. I bought two cartridges that had no flashing lights, but were visually...

Was going to order Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan from Amazon. $72. On a whim, I looked at the Canon site. $48, free shipping. No quick shipping, of course. Quite the savings.

I think you are wat overthinking this. A piece of cardboard sitting on top of the paper for five or ten day will have zero effect as to acid, etc. The results are what they are.

You're welcome. I didn't think of trying any third party papers. I have a small assortment of Inkpress papers, so maybe someday I'll test them.

(Sorry about the word spacing. Artifact from cutting and pasting.) The results are nothing short of astounding. The inks were non-Chromalife as come with the G6000 series Megatank printer. I say "non-Chromalife" because they don't make the claim. OTOH, it would simplify production...

Not about to spend $116 on a set of Canon cartridges to test that theory. I've never had issues with knockoff cartridges in other printers. As to the purge suggestion, I honestly have no idea what you mean.

I've not used the printer for five years, decided to fire it up again. I installed a set of generic cartridges, and I get four flashing orange lights. Canon says in different ways, it's about ink cartridge readings, Nothing enlightening. https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/s/article/ART152997...

It's all yours;. What is your name and address?

I was going to dump and discard all this, used for many years on a long line of iP printers. The pigment (K) ink is at least 3/4 full. What you see is what you get. About 17 cartridges in all stages of use and abuse. Hmmm... it looks like the photo is a bit cropped and that damned auto...

Thank the printer goddess for the Megatank printers. My G6020 AIO is fine for 98% of my print needs. Yeah, the inks aren't Chromalife 100+, but how many non artsy prints do we need to have a long life? And the inks cost less than a single CL cartridge with five times as much ink! If that...

I bought this unit three or so years ago. After only using 25% of the inks, it stopped working, saying the waste ink pad was full! So I bought a new one on Amazon for $10. No improvement. Any ideas? I replaced it with a G6020 all in one. No problems yet with 50% of the inks used...

Like photography in general, I'm manic depressive. Don't do anything for years, then jump into the deep end. I've not done "art" or large format printing for years. Now, I'm wanting back in. I've used Canon printers for decades. All dye based. Last large format, PRO-10. I've avoided...

It appears that that's a European only model, an additional gray and "red." All dye inks. Do you know if the GI53 would be drop in for other G printers? After all, there are five ink types here just in the US. Not a mention that I could find about being Chromalife or anything hinting at...

Wow, thanks for that, Printer Oracle! Yes, often marketing does its own thing vs. technical issues.
