...of the fluid ink can melt away any clogging. Go back and read my post on this. Not so surprising if the ink loss was due to ink starvation from either an "empty" cartridge or, despite sufficient quantity in the cartridge, ink that poorly transits through the cartridge's sponge for one...

I would try a good soak of the printhead. I would even gently pressure flush the PGBK paths. If the nozzle check is OK (and it seems it is), and a known good cart is used, there must be starvation of flow to the PGBK nozzles somewhere. That could be in the internal passageways between the...

The text document shows the funnel shaped loss of ink that typically means ink starvation. The narrow end of the ink loss becomes wider as the print heads traverses across the page. If you count the lines you will see a pattern indicating the direction of print head travel in the horizontal...

...of the nozzles, so, chances are you may get all the nozzles flowing again over time and use. The Magenta issues seem to at least be ink starvation (nozzle check #7 has much of the light Magenta but nozzle check #9 has little). A new Magenta cartridge, or a good flush and refill, should...

...failure in the assay logic board, can cause similar loss of ink. Most likely yours is 1 or more of the following: clogged nozzles, burned out irreparable nozzles, ink starvation due to poor ink flow through the cartridge (sponge). Try new or known working cartridges. Let us know how it goes.

The prints show a typical pattern of the magenta nozzles failing, not the typical wedge shaped pattern of ink starvation. The MG3570 is a two cartridge printer so to correct the error you need a new tri-colour cartridge. I think the magenta nozzles cannot be cleaned to correct the error as they...

...to give best results. Yesterday it recovered to 100%, but then disappeared again during the next print. This seems like possibly an ink starvation issue, but it's hard to say. In the field repair guide (pg 15) they suggest also checking the 'Ink Valve' (which I assume is what is referred to...

Peter , you are a legend. Thank you for your detailed reply. Much appreciated 👍👍👍

...I think no aftermarket cartridges are the same high build quality as Canon OEM cartridges, so it is recommended to monitor the print quality closely and stop and correct the error at the first sign of printer malfunction. Leakage and ink starvation are typical errors with aftermarket cartridges.

...flexible steel cables to drive the pen, and we could get speeds around 300mm/sec. The other problem you will have is what we called "ink starvation". That is, to maintain that speed, you have to feed the extruder really fast to deliver the filament fast enough to lay down filament properly...

Hello Stratman, thank you for your reply. I tried out a complete printhead cleaning as I'm use to do it as you described in the previous post. Unfortunatly nothing happened at all but in a strange way my printhead was working pretty well before in my old printer wich got a problem with purge...

...new cartridges, or flush/reset/refill the old cartridges to ensure properly functioning cartridges. The idea here is to not confuse ink starvation from poorly functioning cartridge with a problem in the print head. Remove as many confounding causes as possible to help narrow the culprit...

Hello fellow printer addicts, I am experiencing a rather strange issue with my Epson PX720 (basically a miniature Epson 1430): when printing in Photo RPM mode, I get random magenta stripes in medium-gray areas. They are barely visible when I print right after switching the printer on, but...

...that matters. Ink level monitoring is turned off in his printer in the video. While this is acceptable, one must remain vigilant for ink starvation or else irreparable nozzle burnout can occur. Experience on the forum is that it is reasonably easy to obtain ARC chips from AliExpress and...

While nozzle failure cannot be ruled out 100% yet, there is still an ink starvation problem ongoing. PC, Y, R, GY, CO, and MBK have all shown at least ink starvation. Some have improved and some have changed in demonstrated defect. Some appear within normal limits. Frankly, without a...

...OK sitting overnight, no need for cleaning instructions right now. You can clearly see in the PC, Y and GY the different pattern of ink starvation. Confirmation by inserting OEM carts. PS: I suppose you have the modified clip already, how else you could have rinsed the carts ? Apparently it...

If would seem the PC, yellow and grey are now starting to show signs of ink starvation once again, when refilling these carts are you shaking the refill bottles before you commence refilling of the carts, because something is not quite right yet.. You should now install carts that you know to...

When I flood the purge unit, the water with liquid just seems to sit on top of the pads. When I turn the canon printer off, it then looks as if it is draining the purge unit. Is it supposed to do it this way, or should it have drained already? Sorry about the many questions. I'm very new to this!

Thank you for such a detailed reply! I shall follow your instructions and report back. Fingers crossed this will work.

...performing purge unit will. You can’t leave the ink inlets without carts for long periods of time without them drying out and causing ink starvation problems for the nozzles, so we will have to address both issues together. The blank MBK I can understand because you’d left the cart out...
