Are these easy to unclog the candle wax out their print heads? Is Candle Wax CLI-3D easy to refill? What about the OEM Yellow? Any reports of waxing? I mean gellowing? Ok ok I'm gone with the wind, there she blows…

Can they be refilled? Erm, I'll get my coat…

Hey buddy, I've heard of that technique before, have already downloaded a few test prints, but haven't gotten around to printing any yet (probably fear of using precious ink, especially after (apparently?) Calibrating precious Pro-100S… using the Color Munki Photo Spectrometer my brother lent...

<Rant to get off my chest> Ok I almost forgot I had you guys here for back-up, the underground "hackers"… just had run-ins with a couple of suspicious 'trolls' over at dpreview that has lead to a temporary ban. They have been hellbent on "shoving CC (Cloud) down everyone's throats" and by me...

Why of course! What use is there to using Surgical Gloves and Syringe Needles without Patients?

Within 10 seconds of reading this I went straight into Print Settings / Quiet Settings and switched from 'Use Quiet Mode During Specific Hours' to 'Always Use Quiet Mode' I am dedicated here!

The cheapest I just searched on ebay co uk is £108, bear in mind, UK here, that's $142 £101.99 listed above by The Hat is $135 It is what it is. Remember we are all here trying to save money, hence ink cartridge refilling in lieu of buying new sets of 'OEM' Ink every time we run out so the...

So maybe all this obsession with cleaning/unclogging Print Heads should be put on the back burner (pun?) and we should launch a new craze, how to preserve the Nozzles? I am certainly interested in any advice that is recommended in order to get the most life out of these printers (heads). Is...

On Sale: £84.99 Exc VAT £101.99 Inc VAT Not fai... Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!

In the US the Canon Pro-100 costs $59. In the UK the Canon Pro-100 costs £359. Not fair, not fair!! There are people out there stocking up on these [ink] suckers en masse. Even if for a brand new set of OEM Carts… Not fair, not fair! I just bought my "spare set" OEM CLI-42 Carts… £86. Not...

A bit random, but now I recall that my own personal ix6550 issue with blocked Cyan *coincidentally* started soon after printing on the wrong side of a Glossy sheet. It was late, didn't have lights on in the room, and will never do that again! Whether it was related to the Clog or not, the print...

After some advice on here it was suggested that I may well have an electrical fault, which while a lot of this is all new to me (and intriguing) it makes sense. Because I am able to flush (syringe pushed through with Windex from Ink Inlet on PrintHead shows spraying out of nozzles) yet haven't...

Thank you, Sir. Glad to be of service! Have since put the print head "back together again" and will try and use this ix6550 solely as a PGBK Pigment Black printer while for everything else, the Pro-100S. IF it goes on the blink again I will hopefully take some more shots, was a lot of fun :)

A lot of technology that we take for granted seriously blows the mind when one meditates on it. From the camera to the computer and the screen to the printer and all the technology that ink itself is convicted from and even the paper. I am much more content with being an end user than a...

If these photos are of any use to anyone then great. What so far has stood out for me is, what seems like dust on the nozzles even this Head has been bathed in Windex, Isopropyl Alcohol, Ammonia, even good old fashioned tap water, both very warm and cold. Also the gold electrical plates close-up...

I hope I am not stepping out of line here, but today I was contemplating what to do with this machine after attempting multiple times to revive it with no success it is probably time to accept it is on it's last legs. Besides, it has served me well and have now a week young new Pro-100S which I...

Ironically, sat here contemplating… to move this beast of a Pro-100 (S??) closer to my desk in place of the USB "tethered" ix6550 and solely run the Pro via no Wi-Fi, USB only I notice this!… You can't make this stuff up, I for one don't want my head in the clouds! How's that for a pun...

I'm about ready to "give away" this ix6550 after bathing it, syringing it, hosing it, even wiping it gently with paper towels (the print head of course) for the last time to try and get the yellow channel flowing again. If it comes to it I will be happy to offer it up "to a good home" for...

This is EXACTLY what I have been experiencing the past few days on my Pixma ix6550 which I have created a new thread. But the fact after reading through these forums I have found a post that is identical to what I am going through with a 3rd party CLI-525 Yellow. Yes I have yet again "bathed"...

You got it, roger that 10-4 copy (pun!). I am a good learner, having spent the past 20 years in digital media I am relearning and totally learning afresh the original art of printing. A month ago I had no knowledge and no calibrated monitor. Fast forward and today I am reborn. Previously it...
