This is a bit of a strange one, that’s why my only suggestion for now was a purge clean.. :hu

Thank you for your reply. I followed your instructions and flooded the pads on the right hand side of the printer. The solution didn't seem to drain quickly at all and seemed to just sit on top of the pads. I did 4 Nozzle checks as requested. Images attached* There seems to be lines through...

Nozzle Check #2 GY patch does not make sense to me. Ink, or lack of it, does not normally make for rising slopped lines. Ink starvation may be relatively constant, such as with PC patch, or the loss of ink may appear like a horizontal funnel shape that is characteristic of starvation. But the...

Hi @rachelambie, you certainly know how to baffle us with this one, firstly from what I can see, you’re having ink starvation issues with the photo Cyan and grey, that just don’t make sense. Replacing a problematic cart with a brand new one should clear up any starvation issues immediately, but...

...664 viscosity of about 2.5 cp. I would have expected that putting the more viscous ink into the Canon cartridge could have lead to ink starvation, but in this test it did not. Of course these are only day 1 results and there could be issues with Epson 664 ink in Canon PG-245 cartridges that...

Surely, with a resetter and scales (to ensure it's full) it's just like a new one from Canon?

...a real hit and miss when it comes to refilling, you don’t really know if your got it right or not.. It must be a constant pain in the ass to be watching out for ink starvation all the time, I got so fed up with it that I dumped the printer and bought a Maxify for my grandson, no problem since..

...pumping action, that generates little heat, so the ink need not be thermally stable, Epson ink also has other different properties and will not flow reliably in a Canon printhead so you will get ink starvation and risk burning out the heaters with Epson ink in a Canon printhead/cartridge.

Hi, and thanks very much for your reply. After digesting many videos online I am now familiar with what needs to be done with the CLI42/CLI8 swap although I am still plucking up the courage to cut that little chip out and move it across! My concern was more about the impact of the tiny amount of...

...a clogging sludge known as YELLO GELLO (so named by our Moderator The Hat) that stops ink flow through and out of the cartridge (ink starvation) and clogging up nozzles in the print head. This occurs when OEM Yellow ink is exposed to enough water (maybe other substances). If refilling, this...

...compatible PGI-550//CLI-551 cartridges I got from @The Hat . I don't know the source of these cartridges, I experienced both ink starvation and and ink leakage with the same set of cartridges. The cause of these problems were the sponges at the ink outlet not making good contact with the ink...

That’s correct no need to worry, there are no sponges in these carts so ink starvation is highly unlikely, and you can run these carts down to empty too, but don’t forget about the Domino effect..

...I have refilled a set for the second time I will create new profiles and compare the color gamut of the Inkowl ink with the OEM ink. I will keep a close lookout for any ink starvation issues, I am still a bit worried about my lazy "no flush" refill! Thanks for the advice and help so far...

...has never contained OEM ink there should be no risk of the "Yello Gello" forming. But if the cartridge has caused problems with ink starvation flushing might be needed. Pure isopropanol is not suitable for flushing the cartridges as the inks are water based and not alcohol based and pure...

thank you very much for these explanations ... in fact, from the beginning, I encountered difficulties with the installation cd = I could not find no way to put a shortcut to manage printing (there was only the shortcut for scanning and clean applications a canon) ... so I went to the canon...

...happens when you use the Canon TS5000 series driver? What application are you using to print? It does look like there may be some 'ink starvation' in the second/lower/lighter Magenta swath , which looks like a horizontal line of no ink towards the bottom of the second swath of Magenta. Do...

...and single use 3rd party cartridges for Canon varies a lot. Some are acceptable some are junk. I have experienced both leakage and ink starvation with the same one set of PGI-550/CLI-551 refillable cartridges. It is a bit expensive, but the only reliable test I can think of now is to try a...

...the issue is cleared or you might permanently burnout Cyan nozzles in the print head. At this point, the Cyan issue looks like ink starvation. Either try a new Cyan cartridge or flush and refill the current Cyan cartridge. The artifacts you see in the PDF file are caused by certain...

This magenta issue remembers me of comparable observations with the 9500 magenta (IS formula 6162). I replaced this with Prodinks magenta (with the MBK the only ones who had no clogging ;)) and afterwards with the PC new 9500 formula magenta. It was mostly a banding pattern, do not remember...

...behavior or condition of the cartridges. Again, how does the overspray/whatever of Magenta in Palombian's nozzle check relate to the ink starvation appearance he also suffers from? These seem to be distinct issues. While we should guard against false impressions, websnail - a trusted forum...
