Trigger. Thanks for being so accommodating but I'm also looking at a couple of other possible sources for manuals and adjustment programs at present, so I'll probably have missed your listing dead line by the time I make up my mind. If my other options don't materialise I can always catch you up...

Trigger, that's a very decent offer you have on ebay for your manuals, unfortunately I'm in the UK. I noticed on your list of information on ebay that you intend to include Epson printers into your projects in the future. If you do so, have you considered that for most repairs on Epson printers...

Trigger, which of the manuals that you are selling on ebay is suitable for repairing the Canon Pixma IP3000? I have a simpified, 43 page manual at present but it is really only useful for resolving error messages. It would not help you to dismantle or repair anything. rim rim

Thanks for the link Simon, but it's difficult to tell from the contents page displayed whether it's an improvement on the manual I already have. The contents page displayed on the site is almost identical to my own manual's content page,except for one item. If I knew how many pages were in the...

I have recently obtained a simplified service manual for my Canon IP 3000 printer, but it only contains 43 pages and is very basic. Does anyone know where I can get a full service manual that contains detailed instructions for dismantling, repairing and assembling the printer?

Further to my last post: after removing the cyan cartridge I noticed that although the front chamber was almost full the sponge in the rear chamber was not fully saturated. I suspect therefore, that ink was not being drawn properly from the outlet hole and hence the weak cyan colours on the...

Thanks for the additional info' all. Because of Tim Ho's comments I have replaced my cyan cartridge with one I filled with Jettec ink. You can see from the test pattern below that there's been an improvement. I've only printed about ten pages with my new print head so I'd have been amazed if it...

Hi pharmacist, I did use a different ink. I used a supplier in the UK called 'Choice Supplies' and their compatible ink cartridges are called 'Think Ink'. The cartridges installed are getting low now so I'll try another ink type when I change them. I would have liked to have tried some of the...

I have recently installed a new print head in my Canon IP3000, and although my printer is working ok the nozzle check pattern seems a bit different from what it used to be. The nozzle check pattern below was taken after the new print head was installed. The blocks on either side of the 6C, 6M...

Thanks a lot for all replies to my post. Pebe, thanks for the link to markett.co.uk , it's the best price I've seen in the UK. How did you manage to find that site?. I've searched the web for ages for that printhead and haven't come close to your price, I'll be ordering one from them...

I've been searching online for a replacement printhead for my Canon IP3000 and have found one on 'Inkcessories'.com for$48.95. Is this a good price? and has anyone dealt with this site? It seems to be a good price to me because the best price I can find in the UK is 54 (about$111) I'd be...
