Yeah, the latter so mostly 10 pages at one time in a month. Sometimes, it could even go a few months without any printing. I'm just tired of paying for overpriced printing services when it's time for me to print. Could I get away with the ink drying up issue with ink tank printers if I print a...

I need an all-in-one printer (scanner, copier, printer). From my research, I've narrowed down my brand choices to just either Brother or Epson. For occasional use, should I be looking for a laser printer? Going back to my printing habits over the years, I've only needed to print in black but I...

Ok. This is just so frustrating. I should've not bought a used one from ebay. It just cost me a lot including the shipping from USA to the Philippines.

If I bring this to a Canon repair center, will they need installed OEM ink cartridges?

Ok. So that means that the printer destroyed those 2 print heads?

Ok. What could've caused the logic board being damaged? I don't see why it would be damaged if the timing strip was the only component that was cleaned, right?

Did that and here's what I have with the old print head: Nothing really changed.

Very unlikely too but how do I check?

I agree. The only problem with my old print head is the PGBK and the other colors were perfect. Now both of these print heads have identical pin-striping deficits. I am actually retracing everything and the only I could think of is alcohol going into the optical eye or something but that is...

Sorry about that. I did follow your advice of cleaning the timing strip first and see if it does something while using the old print head because I soaked the new print head in Windex for two days. To be clear, the last nozzle check I printed was the new print head but it had the same exact...

Oh no no, this is not because of soaking the print head. I was using the old print head when I cleaned the timing strip. I printed a nozzle check pattern before and immediately after I was done cleaning the timing strip. The before was perfect with the colors but the after presented the same...

Straman, I don't what happened here :( Immediately after cleaning the timing strip (which is very easy to do), my problem got worse: What is wrong with this? :(

Anybody has one spare part for sale?

There were no instructions that came with the print head, unfortunately. I thought it was just safe to let it dry for a couple of hours before using it as others have always recommended before to not install a wet print head. I'm actually printing a nozzle check pattern in portrait mode as it...

Here's what I have this time: I think the M bar is fixed now and the BK improved a little bit. The weird thing I have now is why do I have a dull-colored Y bar?! I also noticed that dull-colored Y bar on one of my nozzle check print test pages yesterday but I thought it was just ink settling...

Sorry about that, I should've thought about that. I'll do that from now on. Here's the history of my printer: 1.) Before I replaced the print head, the M and BK colors were fine. The only problem was that it doesn't have the PGBK bar at all even after cleaning thoroughly with Windex. 2.)...

Well, if you look closely on the picture the first M and the BK bars have 4 very thin white lines EACH across them and are separated by equal spaces. What do those indicate?

Here's what I got: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfxbma6gt8fc1y0/20131121_152133.jpg

Thanks. I got this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-NEW-QY6-0061-Printhead-for-iP5200-MP800-MP830-iP4300-MP600-/321240644138?pt=US_Print_Heads&hash=item4acb6f3a2a Ok, I'll upload a nozzle check later. Well, the thing is that those cartridges were brand new OEM cartridges even from the beginning...

So I got the proper print head from ebay and it seems that it did solve the PGBK problem :) 1.) For the BK and M bars of the nozzle check pattern though, I have a very tiny line there. Does that just mean I need to wait a few more days for the ink to sip in? 2.) Also, for newly-installed print...
