...of the cartridge. Seems like an air flow issue preventing ink from the spongeless side replenishing the sponge causing the typical ink starvation funnel shape seen in my nozzle check. All but the Yellow portion of the nozzle check looks proper in person. The image has artifacts noticeable...

...these new nozzle check images are from two different print heads? They look like the same print head but with slight differences in ink starvation. Both of your recent nozzle checks show warping (not "wrapping") of the pigment black nozzles. If you are satisfied with the output of the...

...sponge to air it will begin to dry up the ink on the sponge and eventually, over several refills, cause poor ink flow that can lead to ink starvation and then burned out nozzles. Canon printers heat up ink to spit is out on the paper. The ink is also used as a coolant. May your Pro 100...

Sorry to say there is so much wrong going on, real and potential. First off, the missing ink appears to be at least in part due to ink starvation, meaning ink is not flowing through the sponge properly, or, the cartridge is empty. We typically recommend trying a new cartridge, a known working...

I do not knew for this Canon print head but can tell you for certain that HP in firmware has a routine to check a temperature of print head heaters. If it find that the temperature is too low, and that temperature would not be enough to melt pyrrolidanone an compound that is very often used...

...the head will still protect the nozzles for a short while, and most problems are caused when there is no ink present in the nozzles, (Ink starvation) and the users continues to make test prints. The greatest loss of a Canon print head is from poorly maintained refilled cartridges, damage...

...first signs of quality issues cannot be overstated. Just curious - when performing the nozzle check using a thermal head (Canon) does the printer send a reduced voltage (lower current) pulse to the nozzles so that the possibility head burn out due to ink starvation is minimised or even prevented?

That’s a transatlantic heading for JFK.. :love

Looks like ink starvation in the Wicklow. :D

...NoScript and the entire image was displayed. Now I can see the right half of your Cyan nozzle check swath. That is typical of ink starvation - funnel shaped - usually caused by lack of ink flow from the cartridge and not a clog in the print head. FYI - There is a file upload function...

Not sure what you are implying but I didn't ignore anything. I did a couple of test prints trying to figure out what the problem was. Mind you that I bought the printer used and it has never produced a good print after I got it. I printed a total of one photo 10x15cm after I made this forum post...

...it when under load (Printing Images) and for whatever reason one section (Block 1) was having a problem and was showing signs of ink starvation that needed your immediate attention, and you failed to correct that issue in time to prevent its demise. Now the only alternative left is to seek...

...see a loss of ink -- STOP printing. Nothing but nozzle checks until you resolve the issue. Sometimes it is a clog. Oftentimes it is ink starvation due to poorly functioning refilled cartridges, which then may be flushed and refilled and put back in use. The forum wisdom is to refill when...

...can correct this error. But a new print head might be too expensive compared to the cost of a new similar printer. The photo shows ink starvation in black. If photo paper is specified when printing the problem is with dye (photo) black. If plain paper is specified when printing the problem...

...the quality will be better than those you posted. Cyan has worked but is variable or disappears altogether. This sounds like classic ink starvation due to poor ink flow from the cartridge. You stated you tried a different cartridge. Refer to my first paragraph and let us know what that...

...it is print head, logic assay board or both cannot be said. Usually it is the print head that is the root of the problem (once ink starvation due to cartridge problems is ruled out). I cannot give you any better answer at this point. Maybe someone else can advise on how to check the...

...low-page-count IP5000 that had been sitting on a shelf in the previous owner's office for years. Out of ignorance, I didn't recognize ink starvation, and had no clue what the yellow light and pauses during printing meant. So I killed the printhead, and QY6-0057 printheads are scarce and...

@stratman I sure appreciate your remarks and knowledge. Since I learned a lot on this forum, and also for my own, I would like to sort out this when I have some time. The 2 printheads are now bathing for more than a week, and from one there is still coming cyan colour from the inlet when...

Acrobat Pro DC From Right to Left, The relatively dark shade always appears where the first line of ink begins. The gradient is more apparent in lighter tints of the Cyan. Stratman, I truly appreciate your thoughts & invested time in this matter but I really don't know what to tell you about...
