Thanks PeterBJ for the video and post. (I replied to this already but it disappeared)
That video was very helpful - probably the best that I've seen for Print Head removal and re-install.
Since the price of a print head is nearly $100 - and 2/3 the cost of a new printer – I'll probably...
Thanks PeterBJ. That one video by 'Mike' was very helpful. I'm going to get mine out and see if it's just clogged or something. The price for replacement print heads I see is 2/3 the price of a new printer. So not sure I'll go that route.
Thanks again. Very helpful posts.
Thanks 'The Hat'. Appreciate the reply. I guess I need a new head then.
I tried removing the 'print head' by following Canon's help guide but can't figure out how to get it out. Then watched some videos... still a no go. Feels like the carriage for ink wells is going to break before it...
Thanks for the reply.
I printed out a nozzle check pattern and it looks good to me. Here are two images. Note: It actually looks better than the scanned copy. I also did a nozzle clean function just to be sure.

I searched for this problem without getting any results first. My apologies if I missed it...
I have a Canon MG6821 and it's been fine for a couple of years and really like — until recently. Now all of a sudden after it sits idle for a time, I turn it on and then try to print something from...
I appreciate all these replies. Thanks. I wasn't aware that too much 'downtime' meant more cleaning. I guess that makes sense.
I did buy some aftermarket ink carts on Amazon by Sherman I think it was. It was $42 for 2 of each — or 10 carts. I've only changed the PG Black cart so far and it...
Hi,
I searched the forum for this, but didn't find it addressed as yet. If it has been I apologize.
I have a Canon Pixma MG6800. It works okay, but I noticed that it cleans the ink cartridges way too often in my opinion. Every time it prints just a pg or two, it cleans the carts. I've...
Hi,
I just joined this very informative forum. Looks like a lot of knowledgeable and courteous folks here. Nice to be a member.
I recently purchased a new printer, a Canon Pixma MG6821. It seems to work pretty well and is very fast too. After two weeks of moderate printing though I've...
