I do not own the PRO-300 but the PRO-10 and try to think with you. Since you suspect the printhead path, did you compare test prints in standard versus high quality settings (the latter I suppose does 2 passes) ? Happy Newyear.

Recent printers are more demanding on inks, when you put the SAE W20-50 oil from our youth in today's cars the engines won't make 250K km either.

As said, you can print very decent photos with the Maxify.

Good idea. Both the PRO-10 and Maxify printheads are very sturdy when you and print regularly (one every few weeks is enough, forget the nozzle print scheduling and other nonsense). Don't fiddle too much with inks either (Precision Colors, Octoink.co.uk and Canon large format inks - most...

Since I use the printer only for office documents I don't care about exact colours (although with the original inks I printed very nice photo's as a test). The (large format) C and Y did it good a long time without clogging (for one or another reason the Octopus office M was OK), but after the...

In my (rather long) experience I must agree the printhead is very different indeed (as been explained by @Artur5 some time ago). It is quite resistant to mistreatment (the nozzles do not burn so fast, they even seem to regenerate after some time) as long as you use appropriate inks (and print...

A Colormunki hoarder ;)

Great job! As we all found out, it isn't the cable but the (fading) position markers.

Don't worry about the CD, all software and documentation is online. Read it very carefully, it is not very straightforward, but I was able to create 2 instances of my PRO-10 (same software) one on USB and one networked (Wifi). Speed is the same, so if your printer is not more than 5m away, use...

You could try to do the cleaning with thicker material with a rough surface (cardboard cut from a box or something). Maybe it will catch the stuck piece. Or gently insert a piece of cardboard (or heavy photo paper) from the front...

My PRO 9500 Mark II too (although I had some spooling issues in the beginning, but it cleared itself after some time).

With prices of (expired) large format inks - pigments, not available for PRO-100/200 - going up I might reconsider the shipping costs...

You bet this is an Epson secret. As far as I understood one of the reasons they don't need CO ( gloss equalizer) as Canon.

José (and Mike) do follow this forum, maybe our opinion is not unimportant ;) It's a long time since I saw a video.

No experience with Precision Color's dye inks, but IMO his pigment inks are the best 3th party available. If I lived in the States/Canada I wouldn't hesitate. Due to outrageous shipping costs to Europe no option anymore here.

Sad new heads are so expensive over there. NEVER buy a "refurbished" printhead.

Compared to it's ancestors the PRO-9500 and 9500 II, the PRO-10 printheads live much longer. I also buy used printers, but this implies you take a printhead replacement (and waste counter reset/printer potty) into account. After that the life should be theoretically unlimited. The printhead...

According to the manual, 20 orange flashes does not exist. As previously suggested, 10 alternate power and orange flashes indicate B200. This indicates a worn out printhead, and there is no repair or durable reset. You should also see the error message on your PC. The printhead is a user...

This was recommended often indeed, but - at least on the 9500 - printing with BK settings lays less ink, so you don't get the maximum black level (already reduced on matte papers). Never tried this on the PRO-10, so you can give it a chance.
