Are these available? As ready filled carts or refill kits? Are these inks actually PIGMENT (I know the PG1-5 black is). Or just better DYES than previous inks like the BCI-6 or 3 series? Wonder if higher chance for ink clogging??? thanks! looking to replace my crappola ip3000 for another...

tried again to unclog. used warm water and syringe, took apart... nozzles seem clear.... tried again to force water through inlet holes to outlet holes in PLASTIC housing (where gasket is). wasn't much flow as usual...kept at it... then wooosh.... high flow from the black portion. got my...

more info here: i have a canon s600 (4 color, like the ip3000, both use same black). i put the 3rd party black ink cart that royally screwed my ip3000 up into the s600...and it started doing the same thing, started printing black...then black was dissapating after one 1 test print, then no...

voila! it must be a gasket problem then? kinda like when your head gasket blows in a vehcile?!!!!

i am having the same problem as explained in the "clogged printhead" thread. I am thinking the black is flowing from the inlet screened hole to the output hole and leaking out of the gasket between the this and the ceramic nozzle head. i tightend it pretty good...so that could be the...

i would be guessing the new 100 year inks are pigment versus dye? and would require different types of media to work..and the color gamut less than dye, and basically not as vibrant? when i chose a printer a few years ago...i tried a EPSON with DuraBrite water proof ink and Canon with the dye...

ps... the remover was n ot caustic enough to do any damage to any of the parts...even the gasket did not melt. i could imagine a solvent such as laquer thinner would melt plastic and dry out rubber parts...so wouldn't recommend anything that strong. i am almost wondering if it may be possible...

tried alchol... didn't make any differnce... used syringe and warm water to flush ink out without taking apart.... then used finger nail polish remover (cutex comparable brand). reflushed with warm water...put back in...got the most printing of black this method...could print about 10 pages...

hmmm...maybe next time i tear it down...i'll use alcohol and see if that will do it. seems it gets cleared up for a moment, but once the printer feeds the ink from the cart...it's screwed again. maybe the cheap black carts really do suck?

well...took back apart...used a medicine syringe to flush out the heads... got great flow... but.. put back in....ran a ink test... got a slight amount of black printing....then again..little more...then again...then it strarted disappearing...until no black "fence post" test. uggh...

nice ideas guys... but unfortuneatley my black portion in my iP3000 is still clogged after tear down...BUT, i need to get a syringe and try that method. i took it all apart, soaked in windex etc and still clogged...it's gonna need some pressure. doens;t seem the head is clogged, but the the...

hmm maybe this? will be trying this soon when i get time! http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=241

oh man, i am new here...but Fano... you are brave. i probably wouldn't submerge the entire head in liquid. and if so... maybe at least let it completely dry and blow it out so the water doesn't short out the connections when u put it back in the printer. and swapping colors to test...
