    Pro 10 print head going..

    Thanks for the link, it might be useful in the future. The price is a bit over the top, though. When/if C1-Supplies has the printhead in stock again we'll see how much it costs there.

    Pro 10 print head going..

    Although I'm not looking for a spare printhead, I check regularly the webs of C1-Supplies in Germany and E-parts in France. Fact is that the printhead for the Pro-10/Pro-300 (QY6-0085) has been out of stock already for some time. These two vendors are the most reliable sources for genuine Canon...

    3D reproduction..

    Nice job. :thumbsup I don't recall when I printed on CD/DVD for the last time. For sure it was years ago. In fact, I never used my Pro-10 for these tasks. Must have been with my long gone Pro-9000 or a Pixma 4000/4500. Hopefully you didn't print this tray on Flex filament. :p

    Canon InkTanks and the Notorious Air in tube issue

    If you print a lot yes, but if you're doing 100 sheets per month, then a tank printer is a dubious investment in the long term. With that low amount of prints, you'll never save enough in ink to make it for the premium price paid in advance for the printer. In top of that, there's the the...

    My Next Fast CoreXY Printer : Bambu Labs X1 / P1S Creality K1 Qidi X-MAX 3 ?

    Have you personal experience with Voron printers (or Bambulabs, for that matter ) or are you making all these assertions based on wild guesses, hearsay or youtube videos ?.

    My Next Fast CoreXY Printer : Bambu Labs X1 / P1S Creality K1 Qidi X-MAX 3 ?

    Nobody sells assembled Vorons because these printers aren't products manufactured by a commercial company, like Prusa, Bambulabs, Creality or other brands. As they say, you don't purchase a Voron, you build it. No warranty or post sales support from the manufacturer because there's none...

    3D Printing Under Water?

    Down here we have a refrain that can be translated as : people who has nothing else to do, comb the cat.. I guess that some guys like combing underwater..:p BTW that printer is a modified Prusa MK3S. A machine rather outdated nowadays, but very reliable and long lasting.

    Canon GX6050

    Considering the hefty premium price of the Canon Maxify GX megatank series, in all logic the ink feeding unit should far more sophisticated and trouble free than the tubing system used on cheaper Pixma megatank printers. Sadly, it seems that this isn’t the case. I feel your pain...:mad:

    Pro-10 vs Pro-300 print head

    If it's the same printhead model, as most reports say, for sure it would work on both printers. As for replacing your Pro-10 with a Pro-300, if I were you I'd think it twice before taking the plunge. A new printhead for your Pro-10 will restore it to full functionality and it's much cheaper than...

    PIXMA 560

    I can't find this auction number on eBay. Maybe it's been cancelled. Which price it was ?.. If on the cheap side (50 euro/pounds or less ), then for sure it isn't new. I found three sales from Germany advertised as new with some chance of being genuine. The vendors 'swear' that the printhead is...

    Pixma Pro 100 needs new print head

    In spite of having gray inks, the Pro-100/200 printers use also a blend of other colors to simulate different gradient of grays on the paper. If one the colors is missing ( for instance magenta ) your grayscale prints will appear greenish in some areas. That won’t happen printing pure black text...

    Pixma Pro 100 needs new print head

    Usually, when a whole channel comes blank in the nozzle test and all the others are fine it means that an electronic component controlling the output of this channel has failed. Depending on the design of the printhead, sometimes only 25% or 50% of the nozzles are disabled, but the outcome it's...

    3D Printed Metal Bridge - Amsterdam

    Why didn't they try Flex fluorescent filament instead of boring steel ? I picture lots of people bouncing merrily on the bridge in the middle of the night ( until it collapsed and everybody took a bath..)

    PIXMA 560

    Me bad too. I didn't think about the MP series. I should have guessed when nippyink said that it needed a software tool to reset the waste ink counter. Old girls like the i560 could be reset just using the front buttons. Anyway, PeterBJ is right.. Only a new printhead (QY6-0073 ) would fix the...

    PIXMA 560

    I assume that nippyink refers to a Canon i560, because there’s no such model as the Canon Pixma 560. Error B200 is usually related to printhead failure. I don’t think that changing the cartridges would solve the problem, but it’s worth trying. Sometimes this error goes away simply switching the...

    Should I have any problems with a 2016 Pro 100 going to Windows 11?

    PRO9500mk2, PRO9000mk2... these are spring chickens compared to a IP4000. :p Seriously, I wonder if the first generation of Pixmas will still work with full functionality on Win11 ( or Win10), specially on a new clean installation of the O.S. I suppose there's always a workaround, but I bet...

    Should I have any problems with a 2016 Pro 100 going to Windows 11?

    If somewhere, there's somebody lucky enough to own a Pixma IP4000 in good working order, we could ask him/her..

    canon printer ratings, surprised about the low ratings

    IMHO those ratings are total rubbish. I can't comment on the Epson/HP models, that I know nothing about, but just seeing that two MG Canon models are better considered than a Maxify MB5120 says it all.. This is a bad joke, right ?..

    Canon service tool version 5510 or higher

    As long as Canon doesn't discontinues the whole MB/IB Maxify series, new genuine printheads will be easily available at least for a couple of years. On the other part, you're right.. better safe than sorry. In fact, I've been considering to get one or two printheads, because the yellow nozzles...

    Canon service tool version 5510 or higher

    Tough question to recommend an affordable printer. I only know about Canon and not much on current models of the TS/TR series. Years ago, the first generations of Pixmas ( IP4000 to IP4500 ) were sturdy and reliable machines, lasting forever, although they had an Achilles heel; the printhead...
