I have to clarify that the troublesome yellow channel used first the ink from a Canon original PGI-2500-XLcart. After that I refilled with yellow ink from Canon GI-56 bottles. Both OEM inks but, I assume, with somehow different formulation. Maybe the printhead didn't like the mixture of inks...

Yes, if all the nozzles are firing correctly. Not if, in spite of using only OEM ink, the yellow channel is almost totally blocked. Guess whose Maxify falls in the second category.. :rolleyes:.

Shocking news indeed about Tasktron and Canon new policy as well. As I suspected, they seem to be closing all doors for fixing printers with problems, not only to final users but vendors as well. Now, what happens if the printhead of your Pro10/100/200/300/1000 fails, you have no spare and the...

They're already cheaper. https://www.3djake.es/esun/epa12-cf-natural. :p

Might be but, in that case, most webs usually say something like : "Currently doing maintenance tasks. We'll be back ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience" Instead, when you try to enter the site you get : "HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found."

Thanks for the link, it might be useful in the future. The price is a bit over the top, though. When/if C1-Supplies has the printhead in stock again we'll see how much it costs there.

Although I'm not looking for a spare printhead, I check regularly the webs of C1-Supplies in Germany and E-parts in France. Fact is that the printhead for the Pro-10/Pro-300 (QY6-0085) has been out of stock already for some time. These two vendors are the most reliable sources for genuine Canon...

Nice job. :thumbsup I don't recall when I printed on CD/DVD for the last time. For sure it was years ago. In fact, I never used my Pro-10 for these tasks. Must have been with my long gone Pro-9000 or a Pixma 4000/4500. Hopefully you didn't print this tray on Flex filament. :p

If you print a lot yes, but if you're doing 100 sheets per month, then a tank printer is a dubious investment in the long term. With that low amount of prints, you'll never save enough in ink to make it for the premium price paid in advance for the printer. In top of that, there's the the...

Have you personal experience with Voron printers (or Bambulabs, for that matter ) or are you making all these assertions based on wild guesses, hearsay or youtube videos ?.

Nobody sells assembled Vorons because these printers aren't products manufactured by a commercial company, like Prusa, Bambulabs, Creality or other brands. As they say, you don't purchase a Voron, you build it. No warranty or post sales support from the manufacturer because there's none...

Down here we have a refrain that can be translated as : people who has nothing else to do, comb the cat.. I guess that some guys like combing underwater..:p BTW that printer is a modified Prusa MK3S. A machine rather outdated nowadays, but very reliable and long lasting.

Considering the hefty premium price of the Canon Maxify GX megatank series, in all logic the ink feeding unit should far more sophisticated and trouble free than the tubing system used on cheaper Pixma megatank printers. Sadly, it seems that this isn’t the case. I feel your pain...:mad:

If it's the same printhead model, as most reports say, for sure it would work on both printers. As for replacing your Pro-10 with a Pro-300, if I were you I'd think it twice before taking the plunge. A new printhead for your Pro-10 will restore it to full functionality and it's much cheaper than...

I can't find this auction number on eBay. Maybe it's been cancelled. Which price it was ?.. If on the cheap side (50 euro/pounds or less ), then for sure it isn't new. I found three sales from Germany advertised as new with some chance of being genuine. The vendors 'swear' that the printhead is...

In spite of having gray inks, the Pro-100/200 printers use also a blend of other colors to simulate different gradient of grays on the paper. If one the colors is missing ( for instance magenta ) your grayscale prints will appear greenish in some areas. That won’t happen printing pure black text...

Usually, when a whole channel comes blank in the nozzle test and all the others are fine it means that an electronic component controlling the output of this channel has failed. Depending on the design of the printhead, sometimes only 25% or 50% of the nozzles are disabled, but the outcome it's...

Why didn't they try Flex fluorescent filament instead of boring steel ? I picture lots of people bouncing merrily on the bridge in the middle of the night ( until it collapsed and everybody took a bath..)

Me bad too. I didn't think about the MP series. I should have guessed when nippyink said that it needed a software tool to reset the waste ink counter. Old girls like the i560 could be reset just using the front buttons. Anyway, PeterBJ is right.. Only a new printhead (QY6-0073 ) would fix the...

I assume that nippyink refers to a Canon i560, because there’s no such model as the Canon Pixma 560. Error B200 is usually related to printhead failure. I don’t think that changing the cartridges would solve the problem, but it’s worth trying. Sometimes this error goes away simply switching the...
