...out a 4'x6' image. Did not know ml amounts. Speaking of cartridges, Tech said the Maxify cartridges use pressurized bladders like the Pro-1. Maybe this is why refilled OEM's and aftermarkets have uneven ink flow leading to ink starvation at standard quality settings - not enough pressure.

...poster @lukasz) Now that the ink has dried overnight it is essentially imperceptible unless you are looking for it. Maybe this is evidence of the ink starvation others experience. Will try printing the stress test pages on this page to see what happens. A call to Canon may be forthcoming.

...Seems whether one uses OEM Canon cartridges (palombian and Artur5) or Alibaba aftermarket cartridges (The Hat) that all experience ink starvation of one color or another when printing in Standard Quality. The fix is to print using High Quality setting (or photo setting). Also, there is no...

I’m using OEM carts refilled with Inktec black ink and OEM ink for cyan, magenta and yellow. My settings for getting black starvation are: plain paper and standard quality mode. ( quiet or not quiet it doesn’t makes a difference in output, only in speed and noise) Printing in high quality mode...

...You are removing and reapplying the chip which could cause damage. It is also a PITA. And, again, chip swapping does not fix ink starvation. Why not remove nearly all uncertainty with cartridge failure first? (Canon OEM new cartridges can have a rare chip failure out of the box) I...

What image are you using for your test - the image you posted? Once I have the same image you used I will try your test on standard quality settings to see what happens with a new printer and its new OEM cartridges. Should I use Quiet mode or not for the test? PS During one multipage duplex...

I tried this test print to see what results I could get on my Maxify. I first printed ten sheets on standard mode, and I got ink starvation on the first 3 or 4 sheets but then the rest printed out ok. (Just the Magenta) I tested 10 more sheets, but this time on high quality and each sheet came...

So, do you get the Black ink starvation while on Quiet mode while on High Quality setting? Exactly what settings do you get this ink starvation and what settings do you not?

Unusual to have all but the Yellow clogged, but possible. You can have a reassuring paper towel result and still have ink starvation from a cartridge. Forum member Mikling had a lengthy post on how letting ink levels in the sponge drop below their "full" point before refilling leads to...

...I've had beautiful solid Blacks in images such as X-Rays with the new OEM cartridge supplied with the printer. No issues whatsoever. @The Hat has not said anything about ink starvation of any color. He uses the Alibaba cartridges. Maybe @mikling can chime in about his aftermarket...

I observe exactly the same behaviour with solid black prints and can't compare with the OEM either. Although it is slower, for final drafts to customers I print in high quality. Since the Maxify has no draft setting, we can't expect everything from normal, it is the lowest quality.

...ink, and yet something nags me a bit. While nozzle checks are perfect and black text in standard mode is flawless, there’s noticeable ink starvation printing on standard mode if the page contains huge expanses of solid black. That doesn’t happens with the other colors ( still OEM ink ). If I...

...feed pressure fron ink bottles placed too high causes ink leakage, and too low feed pressure from ink bottles placed too low causes ink starvation. This pressure balance is delicate which explains why CISS systems are difficult to get working properly. If the sponges in a sponged cartridge...

Hello. I am wondering of anyone can guide me a little on this please. I have an HP Designjet 500 which is running still on original HP inks (albeit old ones) and generally speaking the printer produces excellent quality prints all things considered. About a month ago, for the first time ever...

...for regions 1 to 8 incl. The cartridge had problems with ink outlet contact with the ink inlet on the printhead. This caused ink starvation even if the sponge was still saturated. Other cartridges for single use performed better, the sponges seemed to be a better quality. So the quality...

...refilling. Most mid range Canon printers produce excellent print outs but ink quality AND quality photo paper make such a difference. Ink starvation, IMO, is the real killer of printheads and refilling correctly isn't as easy as some think. However, remember that even a couple of ink refills...

I was only on my 2nd refilling of your cartridges and was experiencing red ink starvation. I thought I had refilled it incorrectly and was going to have to go through the purge procedure. I used the paperclip trick and the cartridge is printing fine again.

...which eventually decreases the amount of ink you can refill and, even worse, begins to cause ink flow problems ultimately leading to ink starvation and possible print head nozzle burn out. By keeping the sponge wet with ink and not exposed to drying air you may not have to flush the...

...twice in less than two weeks - once before put into use and once again with the discovery of the bubbling air flow equilibration / ink starvation issue. If there were contaminant from the previous contaminated cartridge that backwashed from the print head into the replacement cartridge, I...

You gotta wonder... IF, the reservoir is "air tight", how does the air above the ink level in that reservoir get in there as the ink level drops?? The ONLY way is through the vertical slots and ink connection passage between the sponge compartment and the reservoir compartment. Perhaps your...
