I removed the cart and tried to clean it, I think I may have found the issue. Not sure what the black gunge is but pretty sure this is the cause of the problem!

After several goes at cleaning again, this is what I'm getting. It's worse if anything. I'm not sure if it's ink starvation as I've had that before with clogged printheads, this looks different....lots of smudging as well as incomplete printing.

I was printing stickers on glossy vinyl sticker material, did a few sheets that seemed to be okay then about halfway through one of the sheets it started smearing the ink all over the place as below. Nozzle check pattern shows the black isn't working properly. I've tried cleaning cycles...

Hi Hat, no it's not that, the material is pretty much perfectly flat. I've actually got two Pixma Pro 100s printers, it doesn't do it in one of them but it does in the other. The second printer has other issues (which is why I generally don't use it) but it doesn't leave the track marks on the...

A couple of days ago my Pixma Pro 100s started leaving black "track marks" on the right-hand side of the print media (right-hand side when looking at the printer, so from the side the of the power button etc). I thought it might be a printhead head issue so I removed the head yesterday and did a...

I've been getting lines in the print when using my Pixma Pro 100s and running the cleaning cycle has made no difference. I bought some cleaning fluid and currently have the printhead sat in about 1/4 of an inch of it and it appears to be removing a lot of ink. I'm going to leave it sat in the...

Thanks Mr Hat, I think you're probably correct. I'm going to try and take the side off the case and cut open the inner case to reveal the locking mechanism, as per this video: If I can do this I ought to be able to get the carriage free and then replace the print head. I can't believe Canon...

Following on from this (printer still broken today), if I manage to get the printhead free and can take the ink carts out, is it worth re-using them in a different printer or is there a risk with that? What I'm asking is if the B200 error is because of the print head and the ink carts are fine...

Got the dreaded B200 error on my Canon Pixma Pro 100s, which according to Canon now means I have an expensive paper weight. However after a bit of research / YouTube I've found a lot of people have actually managed to fix this. I want to try replacing the print head as this might be the issue...

Looks like someone else was having the same problem and managed to figure it out: https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/canon-colour-spaces-srgb-adobe-rgb.15708/ *edit* Turns out I actually have this file on my PC so this might be how I did it.

If you figure it out be sure to let me know how you did it. If I ever need to set mine up again I don't want to spend another three months figuring it out. If it helps this is the all the locations of the file "AdobeRGB1998.icc" on my C drive. Quite a few of these definitely won't be relevant...

If I'm understanding the requirements correctly, the attached image shows what he's trying to do. This is what I spent about 3 months try to get to work, that is in the Canon Printer driver menu: Main > Manual Colour Adjustment > Matching then the Input Profile drop-down menu, you need to be...

When I had some custom .icc profiles created I was sent a file or a link that turns off all the colour management for your printer and then prints a big grid of all different colours. It's when I did this that I realised my Pixma Pro 100s could actually print a much wider gamut that I'd been...

There's lots of files in this folder on my PC, however in the "Input Profile" in the Printer Driver there are only two options: Standard and AdobeRGB(1998). "@Roberto Smith , I do have them installed at the right places. The fact that it still doesnt show up probably means that for my printer...

I did eventually, not 100% sure what I did but the AdobeRGB option showed up in the printer driver as shown in the picture. I remember obtaining the Adobe ICC Profiles from the Internet, I would guess I must have put the relevant .icc profile in a folder somewhere and then it's available from...
