My Maxify is as new since I refill the colors with GI-56. Large format OEM ink needed regular cleaning cycles, but for BK PFI-701BK works extremely well. It is indeed rather fussy about ink .

123inkt.nl, 123inkt.be, 123ink.ie, all the same company It will not disappear, the founders only cash.

No tests needed, only pretend your house brand is the best choice ;) Just kidding, they have good prices for OEM ink.

with Google translate: > 123inkt.nl is for sale, sources report to the FD. The webshop in cartridges and other office supplies should fetch at least five hundred million euros. According to newspaper sources, 123inkt.nl has grown considerably in recent years. Gross operating profit (EBITDA)...

So you can get rich with 3th party ink...

There are other irregularities around the line. Maybe a printhead travelling speed problem. Could be the printer was stored in a dirty/dusty location. Did you check the timing belt is clean ? (be carefull with this) Sticky sliding bars ? (never seen this though).

I left my PRO-10 unused and switched off 4 weeks several times and never had any problem. Same with my PRO-9500's before.

Thanks Manu. Regarding printer potties, I once installed one on my MX7600 All-in-one (using the same PGI-9 carts as the PRO-9500) and I made the error to place the potty beneath the printer. This increased the ink purge volumes considerably (due to the ink column in the narrow tube). Don't...

Thanks for the info. This suggests the PRO-100 battery is on the back right, different from the PRO-10 ?

Try first to unclog the printhead, it will print without filter too. Use patience, not force.

After all the level indicated by the chip is just a nice to have. As you discovered, the printhead has an ink level sensor and will raise an error when the cart is really empty. Only problem I am afraid is you need a cart with a non-empty chip to reset this.

Did you try to clean the chip contacts with isopropanol ? Worked for me.

As mentioned elsewhere the black channel was clogging more and more, I suspect the octopus-office.de BK ink I used several years without problems lost quality (maybe the pigments sedimented). I tried large format MBK, it solved the problem for some time, but not to my satisfaction. I even...

As you experienced applying force is not the good method. The PRO-10 printheads can live long if you print regularly - although one or two months wouldn't be a problem. I had the best results with abandoned printheads by soaking in demineralized water with a drop of good hand dishwashing liquid...

Watch your nozzle checks with a magnifying glass and have a known working ink available to revert, but chances are it is possible. PRO-10 printheads are rather sturdy.

I recently refilled my Maxify in despair with large format BK ink expired in 2009 :eek:. The black nozzles were clogging more and more (using 3th party ink) and the GI-56 bottles were sold out. I was fearing for the printhead. After a few cleaning cycles the nozzle check was perfect again ! As...

Same reason you must not overfill I suppose.

Still no no idea what the air intake is for ? I stopped sealing the ink outlet after refilling. Now I raise the back of the printer when changing carts (why else they are inclining forward for no other reason as making refilling as difficult as possible).

No problem. I will stick with the PRO-10 (found another one, sadly enough expensive with a clogged printhead - €70).

I am a bit confused The file "CN_PP202_Pro10_GlossyII_MaxQuality.icm" has an internal description "FS_PlatEtchingET8550_MAT_V1" It looks exactly the same as my PRO-10 profiles on glossy papers, so I suppose it is from the PRO-10 ? The one named "CN_PP201_ET8550_UltraGlossy_HQ_v1.icc" is a bit...
