Well, you can add me to the list. I'm not getting e-mail notifications either.. I checked my e-mail address & what I have checked and not checked. I also checked if the thread(s) that I posted in are on the list and they are. The only 'blocks' I run are thru Firefox (Ghostery & AdBlock), not my...

Thank you for the reply, thou I just noticed this since I never had a e-mail regarding a reply. I didn't have any long needles that were small enough (so I thought), so I used shorter ones that have a beveled sharp tip and went in on the side as another member mentioned earlier in this thread...

I hope no one shoots me for posting in this 'kinda old' thread, but I just stumbled across this while doing some related research that for whatever reason eleven years ago I didn't. :eek: I have had Canon inkjet printers for over 12 years now (1st a 560i and now a IP4300) and I have always...

I bought this printer used 2 years ago which replaced a i560 that I had for probably 10 years (it was replaced once IIRC) The print head died with the dreaded blinking 5 orange LED error message. I had a spare, but that lasted a dozen prints and it starting streaking. I flushed the head out...

Three questions; 1. Why is red affected so greatly? 2. How about Cannon ink, how does that compare? 3. Source of the ink used?

Slightly OT, but I bet that was the deal. $50 for 5 $15 carts & a $50 printhead with a printer thrown in; https://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/685621/ That reminds me of my Panny Laser printer for $100 (6 years ago); $120 for a replacement fuser and $60-70 (?) for a toner cartridge. I...

Both of those pads are clear, not just the pig black. I'll give it a shot. That 'virus 'scenario I am now well aware of the hard way as I never knew or had this 'virus' issue in the 10+ years of a i560 ownership. So not to confuse, this 'bad' printhead was tossed when it was determined to be...

One more thing I forgot to add, those clear wiper blades in the purge unit were perfectly clear. Not a smudge on them. I think the logic board got partially fried from the fried printhead.

Please re-read my OP. The pads in the purge unit are almost all white (not like that photo in your link) which means it was never used. That was one of the 1st things I look for. I did a quick search and found Canon had a rebate on this, along with mark downs, it was probably bought for the...

I will add, the printhead & carts were immediately taken out of a active same model printer. When done returned to that printer and the pigmented black still printer ok there. I initially tried a unknown printhead from another 4300 which was dead (no power up at all), but it returned the 5...

The printhead good, so is the pigmented black cart. They were both checked in another 4300. This is what appears to be a unused printer as the purge pads are mostly still white! The other four (dye based) colors print ok. There are no error lights or errors shown in Win7. Any ideas? This...

It would be nicer if these printer manufacturers stop screwing their customers and price their products accordingly (reasonless profit) and allow 3rd party refilling with no restrictions. These greedy corporate types wouldn't last if they tried the same scam selling motor vehicles that only...

Thanks for the reply, I didn't get any e-mail message for your response. To start I'm using the set of the original Canon carts, after refilling were reset with a chip ressetter. I also bought a empty set of carts with manually resetting chips that I haven't filled yet.

3rd party CLI-8 & PGI-5 carts with auto resettable chips, is the ink monitoring ability still available, or is it disabled? I'm reading conflicting reports. Printer is a iP4300 (if that matters)

I just got done searching eBay for a placement printhead for a iP4300 & a iP4500 and found numerous offerings. NEW in a Canon box! Unfortunately they are all from Asia (China & Hong Kong). The 4500 are 2x the cost of the 4300. ;)

Two problems with your suggestion; it's too wide for where it has to go and there are too many carts. Four carts were fine. I'll live with five, but that's it. I'm looking at a ip4300. Thou it's a year older than the ip4500, it's easier to find on eBay. At this time there wasn't any 4500's at...

Canon doesn't appear to have any current printer only models. 120 views and no one here has a Canon standard printer without all the extras??? :hu

The Pro 100 is way too wide and uses too many tanks. Besides, I wasn't looking for something that current. Your statement seems to apply to current models. Please re-read my OP.

My ink source with their modified tanks literately 'dried' up (ColorBat in Pa.) Those modified tanks allowed refilling IN the printer since the reservoir fill opening is left open unlike the Canon design. It was far superior. The ink was sucked up a tube then over into the sponge, not thru that...

I hate to start another 'which one' thread, but acfter 8 or so years of owning a i560, actually 3 or 4 over that period (not at once, I need to replace this with something newer. After spending a couple of days researching these LED printers (Brother specifically) vs 'Laser', Epson vs Canon...
