The main difference between the Pro-1000 and the Canon A3+ models isn’t the maximum paper size but the ink and paper management as well as the overall design of the printer (in electronics and mechanics). The Pro-1000 plays clearly in a superior league and it isn’t intended for amateur use...

I hope the below instructions by Octopus will help. It isn't difficult at all. Welcome to the forum ...

I suspect that finding nowadays a new genuine Canon printhead for the IP4300 is quite impossible. Of course, there's always the Ebay/Ali-Express lottery of refurbished or fake printheads. I wouldn't advice to try that but, if a refund is guaranteed in case of defective merchandise, there isn't...

Sticky matter ...:D No resin printer for me, thanks.. even if the machine costed $2.99.

No way. 3D printed Benchies don't float. ( I tried..;) )

I have to walk only 5 meters so my legs will last longer than yours..:p ..and a very happy new year for you, your family and, of course, for everybody on this forum ( spammers included :rolleyes: ).

It seems that the new year has summoned all the 3Dprinting addicts of this forum. Nice to see some activity again.. :) Redbrickman, now that you mention Klipper, I'm starting my personal battle with this software and I'm still a bit lost. Until now I just inserted the SD card on my Prusa...

Spammers are the more active posters in the 3D subforum..:D Very little seems to happen here. No more daring projects like your garden lampost... I keep printing regularly with my trusty Prusa but nothing to write home about. Only news is that I'm trying now carbon filled nylon with acceptable...

If you use CLI-8 inks in your PRO-100, the printhead won't be damaged but, unless you use custom profiles or tune the color settings of the driver, you'll get prints with a noticeable color cast. The individual color shades of the CLI-8 inkset are quite different from the CLI-42. Of course you...

Hello and welcome to the forum. Answering your questions in no particular order.... 1- DTG printers use a totally different stuff from the water based dye pigment inks used by regular inkjet printers. We’re comparing apples and oranges. 2- According to my experience with Canon printers...

Well, the mystery is solved. A few days ago my MB5150 reported at last that the cyan ink cart was depleted flashing the customary red X symbol. No odd errors. I installed the cyan cart of my other set and that one reseted with the ink at the lowest level. Let's see if it remains in this...

That depends on which way you look at the question. Letting a GI-56 bottle rolling around while you move the needle inside an opaque bottle trying blindly to fetch the ink is not my idea of fun, but I see that your mileage varies a lot in this matter.;) I prefer to move all the ink at once into...

I tried with a syringe and it wasn't very convenient. First you need a very long needle to reach the bottom of the bottle when ink reaches a low level. Then you need to drill an extra hole to let air equalize the pressures, else the ink won't be sucked into the syringe, unless you pull very very...

I can't guess what fancy method uses The Hat.. ;). Mine is blunt but effective. First you need an empty bottle of 150ml or more to store the ink and a funnel is useful too. Remove the cap, drill a hole at the top of the GI-56 bottle to make an intake for air. Screw the cap back on and drill...

The previous printhead of my Pro-10s started to show cyan in the CO band of the nozzle checks a few months before error B200 popped in and I had to replace the printhead. It wasn't as evident as in Dighini's example but quite noticeable all the same. Usually a cleaning cycle fixed the...

As I said here a number of times, I keep my printers always off. My Pro-10s remains plugged to the mains socket, while my Maxify MB5150 is totally disconnected. I haven’t noticed extra ink consumption of the Maxify compared to the Pro-10s, rather on the contrary. I guess that the behavior of...

Definitively you need to improve further. This nozzle test isn’t as good as it should be. See the vertical bars at the left of some colors, specially red but also magenta and photomagenta. Those should be black, not reddish or faint grey. If you use third party inks or a combination of OEM and...

If that was true, as inks are composed 80-90% of water, I expect that every printhead out there would rust in no time right after you print a couple of pages..

...and no waste ink pads to worry about.. although good quality toner cartridges aren't exactly cheap.:rolleyes:

If the orange led flashes and the power led stays solid, then it's not a service call error but operator call error and you should be able to fix it. I don't have a manual for the Pro100 but on other Canon printers, when the orange led flashes three times it means paper jam or front door...
