Thanks Hat and all the hired help. Your calendar is a great way for us all to start the new year. Thanks again, Gil Corey

Thanks Hat, The timing strip should and does look clean. The sequence follows: Print head from center moves left then cycles 3 full passes without knocking. Pauses at home to right, starts cycling again and knocking also the black and yellow cartridges flash red. Print head stops at center and...

The shadow is back. With a follow up. I didn't quite give up on fixing my MX700 but I did purchase a new Canon MG7120. I searched the net for the best printer for my needs and had several in mind when I started checking the stores. My first stop was Staples but I didn't care for their specials...

Thanks J, The MX700 is a quality printer. That's why I hate to give up on it. I was hoping for some feedback to better understand how to trace the circutry. I didn't disassemble the the top unit, but doing so might allow a check thru the ribbon termanal. Thanks to PeterBJ's link I was able to...

I checked your links. Joe toolman posted that I probably have a print head problem.

Thanks again Peter for your feedback. I'll try again later.

Thanks Peter, Was your link to a direct site? The IE gave me a full list. Any particular MX700 manual? I'm sorry to be so dense.

Thanks Hat man and jtoolman, The water is clear but no fan shape. I used hot water and also alcohol then air from my compressor. Can further soaking help at this point?

I'm using a refill kit from PrintPayLess with resistant dye ink. I ment reset the chip.

I signed on here with a minor question and the more I read the more I need to learn. My Canon MX700 was giving me problems after refilling cartridges a few times. It became a leaky mess and I put off trying to fix it. It probably wasn't necessary to completely disassemble the printer, but I...
