    iP7250 Service Mode

    I'm confused, isoproponal not good, water not good. What's left to use? Is de-ionised water safe as you dont seem to see distilled anymore? With the last yellow print blockage i did notice some wispy looking strands in the cart reservoir and it had only ever had Octoink dye based in it and never...

    iP7250 Service Mode

    Regarding filling auto re-set carts with Octoinkjet dye based ink. Do i need to flush out the carts before re-filling and if so with what.

    iP7250 Service Mode

    The service tool v4720 does work, i was looking for a change in absorber value when reloading the tool. I now realise you have to print out the eprom to see the change has actually taken place. I believe tool v3200 is also ok for canon ip7250.
