Yes, that's one of the Maxify weird "features"... after a while you get used to it. "Infected" color is a bit strong, though :p

Are you using original Canon inks or third party ?

I hope that you purchased it from a genuine dealer who gets that printhead directly from Canon. It seems that lifespan of Canon printheads hasn't improved lately, rather on the contrary...

My Pro10s sees very little use nowadays. ( I reduce printing costs by not running the printer... :rolleyes: ). In all likelihood, the compulsory cleaning cycles use more ink than the actual ink layered on paper. Not a wise policy, I know, because the less you print, more chances of eventual...

I think you're right. Looks like they replaced Tasktron for Canon spares in the UK. Their price, ( VAT included ) is much more expensive than the French site. Possibly they import the printheads from the USA ?

@nobb, I don't want to rain in your parade, but Maxify printers don't seem to like refillable carts and third party inks, specially dye inks. Even OEM cartridges refilled with Canon inks give problems now and them. If you refilled only to half volume, the ink levels on screen won't match the...

For what you explain, it seems that the two blank channels are dead. If it were just clogs you'd see some color on these stripes, after all the cleaning cycles you performed. Availability of new printheads depends on where you live. Not long ago there were at least three reputable vendors of...

Probably the problem isn't only the ink but the third party refillable cartridges. Maxify users here know well that it isn't easy to refill an original Maxify cart and get a perfect nozzle check right away. Every time you refill one of these usually the user has to perform at least a couple of...

Yes, the HP41c, HP67, HP97and maybe others, There was also an optical reader. You could enter programs or functions reading from printed strips of bar codes. I had one for my HP41c, but didn't use it much. As I hadn't the dedicated (and very expensive) HP printer ,I couldn't print my own...

Jan Lukasiewicz created the original Polish notation in 1920.. Other scientists recreated it into the Reverse Polish notation a few decades later. I don't know why Hewlett Packard used the RPN in their calculators, but indeed you had to change your "chip" if you came from a conventional...

HP41c anybody ? I still keep that box, ( just for the priceless archaeological value ). :p

I don't know about that. Without knowing exactly how the ET8550 handles the tray, your idea may work or, on the contrary, because of the extra thickness the tray will jam inside the printer.

The long and winding road.... Epson and Canon sometimes seem to enjoy annoying the customers with the features of their drivers. As you pointed out, no consistency between different Epson models when you print from a tray. Likewise, the Canon driver of some printers stablishes a max, print...

Do you have an original Epson tray to compare? What are the edges like ... sharp or rounded ? Also, depending on how the Epson handles the tray, the thickness may also play a role. A tray too thick or too thin could interfere with proper feeding and cause a slight skew. Welcome to the...

I don't like Bambulab's business system. It would be the last 3D printer brand you'd find at my home. That doesn't means that I can't see in what direction Prusa is going. Cheapening their products to compete in price is the wrong way and they'll never make it. Lying to the customers isn't a...

+1 for Openscad. In fact I believe you recommended it to me ,years ago when I was a total rookie in 3D. I liked the interface and the language style (sort of BASIC commands -> for...next loops and so on. .). Besides, I'm too old and lazy to learn fancy CAD programs with sophisticated render...

Maybe you’re right. but looking carefully that black band I don’t think it’s electric failure. When this happens, usually one half of the stripe is totally missing, not smearing, you get a neat horizontal cut separating the “good” from the “bad” nozzles. In this case there’s smearing in the...

Think twice, think it very well, before getting a Core One, Just take a look at the Core One section of Prusa's forum. Every kind of problem a 3D printer can have is there. I'm telling you this as a satisfied owner of a dated but trusty Prusa MK3S+, I wouldn't touch a Core One with a barge pole...

I was refering to Maxifys with ink cartridges, not those awfully expensive models with tanks refilled from a bottle. If you were in Europe, you'd find Maxify models within your budget, such as the MB2750 ( 125 Euro at Amazon).

Believe me, if you want to keep your sanity, stay well away from that printer. Take a look into the Core One section of Prusa's forum and you'll see an online replica of Jerusalem's Wailing Wall. My first printer was a Prusa MK3S-(still working fine). but after this model, they went downhill...
