hi turbguy, I am using these 2 types, Jif Cream Cleanser and those Powder Cleanser (that is in powder form instead of cream). These are used in the kitchen to scrub pot and pans etc. It takes off ink from hands 80%. Except the black stains are much harder to get rid off. And those ink that got...

ghwellsjr, by the way, this is one of Y cartridge that had been opened and use partially few years ago which later on the same day the were opend, were stored until now. Both the air vent (from L shape opening) and exit cap is sealed and then wrapped with a sticky plastic (this plastic has a...

The seal tape that I mentioned at the L shape, I am not referring to the black tape above the maze that covers the maze and center vent hole. But rather the orange pull tape that also seal the L shape opening. Once you pull this orange seal tape, you open up the L shape vent area which leads to...

Does the brand new cartridge that you purchased from Canon comes with the seal tape at the L shape opening? If the whole maze mechanism is just merely for cartridge breathe during the daily air pressure cycles, then canon would have packed it without the vent tape when they sell it. If you...

ghwellsjr, for me I would seal the air vent (or rather air inlet hole as I would call normally call it), sealing it doesn't force ink out of the outlet port if the orange cap is put in place. Ink that is expose to air for a long period of time, will changes it's (don't know what term to call...

Hi I wanted to purchase this Epson CISS chip holder (for 4 combo chips). Or something similar where the chip holder can sit on the printhead carriage infront of the chip sensor independently and separated from the cartridge. It's available in Russia, Ukraine as far as I know of. I wrote to...

Hat, that is a viable option also. But I would also risk getting printer used by someone who didn't know how to clean their scanner and ended with another problem calibration strip. You see sometime some people doesn't know about the calibration strip. And for MP530, the calibration strip is so...

I did not say "There is no need to wait". Instead I mean if one had flush a printhead you need to wait before performing nozzles check for a printhead that you have flush personally" The word 'NOT' after 'would' should not be there. Typo insertion of the word 'not'. Just because there is not...

Obviously there is a need which is why I asked. Apart from the molds spots, Something is wrong with the scanning calibration. Horizontal strip and colourful patterns. So it needs to clean.

Hi PeterBJ, those manual just show how to dismantle the printer but doesn't show how to dismantle the scanner section part. I need to reach to the scanner glass to clean the glass and calibration strip. Anyone who has ever dismantle it before or knows how to open up the scanner section do let...

joseph1949, the moment you flush your printhead before, you will need to wait several hours after installing the cartridges before doing any nozzles check or start using the printhead. This is because the nozzles are very dry after you had flush and dry the printhead. You obviously need to wait...

As per title. Does anyone know how to disassemble the Canon MP530 Scanner glass? I would like to clean the scanner glass underneath. I could disassemble the printer housing such that the scanner housing is detach from the printer housing. But I just couldn't figure out the way to open up the...

@ThrillaMozilla, during cleaning cycle (where you execute the cleaning) when the printhead nozzles firing above the purge unit, the purge unit does not cap onto the bottom of the printhead. The way they fire is much like the way it dispensing/firing ink during printing. During printing, the...

Hi turbguy, few years ago after I had disassembing the printer and cleaning it, and powering it on without the printertop casing, from the side view with flash light, I had seen with my own eyes (those older printer series that uses those tri-cartridges (not the individual cartridges like...

Replying to your post #38 since now that you have finally posted your nozzle check print. Try reading my post # 25 again where I mentioned that you have electrical failure to your printhead and that is what's causing your color variance. Looking at your check print, the nozzles that...

At post #23, you have mentioned that uninstalling & reinstalling doesn't help to overcome your color variance. Electrical failure for printhead is causing the color variance for your case. Referring to your #12, you mentioned that the color variance showed up during photo printing and color...

dvdit, you most likely to have an electrical problem for your printhead which causes the color variance. At post #1, you mentioned that you have even tried using "OEM Canon ink" and "OEM Canon glossy photo paper" which still give you the color off problem. You also mentioned that you soaked...

Did you check the any manual to see what does the U045 code mean for your printer? If you do install the software and connecting to the printer, does the view status from the Maintenance tab of software provide any more details to the error message U045? Because apart from unrecognized...

if your 220BK is other cartridges other than the G&G cartridges, they may have different chips. And that is one reason why the printer doesn't recognized the cartridges. As these are compatible chips and not original canon chips, sometime they must work as a group (same chips from same chip...

If you could post a picture of the that chips that was giving you problem, I may have something to share my story (not necessary that I would definitely have something to say, it all depend after I look at that chip). But like i said at post #15, you don't have to if you don't wish.
