    wear of the printheads

    A service test print from one of those printers will be a definitive answer..

    wear of the printheads

    wear of the printheads

    Good point, however that's not a service test print. Here's a sample from a six color i960 (from the service manual).

    wear of the printheads

    Ahhh...most Canon consumer photo printers do NOT have "different sized" nozzles for the same color. They are all the same size (Pigment Black nozzles are typically larger and fewer than color nozzles, but they are use for text/line graphics, only on plain paper). That said, some Canon inkjets...

    wear of the printheads

    Yes, the most common issue with Canon print heads appears to be some circuitry failure on the LSI nozzle die itself, probably due to overheating. That is why I always use "Night" or "Quite" mode in the print driver. It slows printing and limits the heat duty on the circuitry.

    wear of the printheads

    The nozzles (on Canon Thermal heads) are NOT "metal". They are silicon. The nozzle "plate" is a LSI manufactured component. The bubble jet process "boils" the liquid "ink to "spit" it out the nozzle openning. Cavitation of the nozzles leads to wear.

    Recommendation

    The Canon PRO-100 (photo, but works OK for text/graphics) is a real bargain when rebates are in effect (nothing current now that I know of). Rebates lower the delivered price (in the USA only) to much less than $75, including 50 sheets of 13" x 9" paper. Keep an eye out here for rebate...
