    Grey in nozzle check where it should be cyan!

    No, that’s impossible. Grey has only one row of nozzles (let’s call them big nozzles). Cyan has two channels (one of big of nozzles and one of small ones). Both rows are connected to the output of the cyan cartridge. If the problem was a rare ‘bug’ in the driver or firmware and the printer used...

    Somebody who can help me to print something in 3D ?

    Send me a PM if you want details about the assembly, but it's quite straightforward. I used cyanoacrylate and four steel rods of 2mm to join the two parts. Replacing the rods with filament probably would be OK as well.

    Somebody who can help me to print something in 3D ?

    There is the first version in two parts. I joined them, using 2mm. steel rods and some glue.

    Somebody who can help me to print something in 3D ?

    Year ago I printed a ruler-guide for my Color Munki. Looks similar to your model,but it has some 'extras'. See the old thread: https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/3d-printing-helping-2d.14831/ P.S: Since then I modified the design because I have now a printer capable of printing it on a...

    Trusted ink supplier for an italian customer?

    Octoinkjet sells to continental Europe. I've ve been purchasing from them for years. Even after Brexit, there's no problem with Customs fees or taxes, provided the value of the order is under 150 euro. It's just like purchasing from the continent. Shipping costs are also very reasonable...

    Printing on cast paper with the PRO-10

    Yeah, that hack seems to me the only valuable asset of Qimage. I still don't understand why this program disables advanced printing settings on all my Canon and, what's worse, it doesn't restores those settings after you quit Qimage. That's idiotic. It's a chore having to re-enable manually...

    WIN 11 migration - dinosaur printers ??

    My five cents: Stay with WIn10. Nothing in Win11 is worth the hassle to update. As for Win10 support ending Oct2025, my copy of WIn10 hasn't been updated since 2019 and it runs without any problem.

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    Update : after printing several jobs using the USB cable, the problem hasn't reappeared, what reinforces our assumption that it was just a Wifi issue.

    4 Colour 3D printer

    Old Joe has lost all his credibility for me, since the misleading and almost dishonest marketing claims on their latest models... but I won't enter into this here. One thing to consider about big printers is that they are far more hungry on Kwxh. Obviously it takes more energy to heat a 35x35...

    4 Colour 3D printer

    As far as 3D manufacturer marketing is concerned I'm HIGHLY skeptical about all the claims they make about those awesome features. I believe maybe 10% of all this hype and, on second thoughts, only 5%.. 600 mm/s printing speed with supreme quality my foot (and theirs ). It seems that Creality...

    Help Please!

    According to Canon error codes 5C00 means : "Purge Unit, Purge cam sensor error. There may be foreign objects or the orange protective tape inside the device blocking the print head carriage". It seems there's something wrong with the purge cam sensor. It's either damaged, dislodged or...

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    l wonder if this might be the root of the issue. I can't remember if my 3D printer was connected when the issues on the MB5150 happened. Or maybe it was the washing machine application ?. The second error happened last Saturday morning and the washing machine was "on duty" at that time...

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    It happens randomly, not on every printing job. Besides, a corrupted file seems impossible because, after the unexpected pause, the same document is printed from the start without further issues. As I said, this happened only twice so far. First time two weeks ago and second time last Saturday...

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    My MB5150 is quite old but, so far, it keeps going strong. Nevertheless, during the last days I had a couple of times the same strange issue printing a document of several pages. The job starts OK but then it stops in the middle of the third page, for no apparent reason, while on the screen...

    Salvaging long unused Pixma Pro 100

    I think the problem has nothing to do with the printhead. The chip pins make contact with 4 wires connected directly to the logic board of the printer through internal cabling, bypassing totally the printhead. Provided that both the chip and the printer contacts are clean. I believe that PeterBJ...

    Canon Prograf Pro-1000 Cartridge Won't Click Back In

    It might be that the part holding the cart in place ( a flexible plastic tab or similar) it's broken. If so, then you're in trouble, because the cartridge won't seat firmly against the printer contacts -> no communication between chip and printer -> error 1660. For your sake, I hope that...

    Canon Pro 200 to be used with pigment inks?

    Very bad idea IMHO. The Canon Pro-200 uses dye inks. Pigments can damage permanently a printhead designed for dye inks. That doesn't means that the printer will literally explode as soon as you put pigmented inks into the carts. You'll maybe get good prints for a while but, in all likelihood...

    Printing on an acetate transparency film

    In the past I've purchased a couple of times HP transparency foils to use with a HP inkjet printer. We're talking around thirty years ago but I recall that the results were very good. Anyway, the foils were very expensive and I had no much use for them so I didn't purchase more.

    Printing on black or dark envelopes with white ink using an inkjet printer

    That depends on the opacity of the ink. In all likelihood, dye ink wouldn't work at all, but maybe pigment would give an acceptable result ?. I have no black paper at hand or I'd try with my Maxify.
