Hello! I recently purchased a used Canon Pro-10 from Facebook Marketplace, and got some new OEM ink for the printer. Expecting some challenges with the printer, since it had been sitting in a closet for some time, I ran a few cleaning cycles to try to get it going. I printed a nozzle check and I got a few issues, so I tried running a cleaning cycle again to no avail.
I have taken out the print head and used some cleaning solutions to let it soak for a few hours, let it dry, and then tried to print again, producing the following results.
As you can see, the Yellow and PBK are completely blank, and the PM is slightly pink rather than white.
The entire time I have owned this printer, the Yellow and PBK have both been blank, and the PM has also always been that color. I was wondering if it would be worth it to try cleaning it again, or if the print head was beyond cleaning. Any recommendations on where to purchase a replacement print head?
