    How to remove PRO-1 printhead ?

    But I've grown attached 🥰 So .. wanna try to save it, if I can .. I do though have the 10s on order, as we speak it's winging its way to me. Canon offered a 30% discount so made the hit a little less painful :) I would like to at least try, If its just a complete waste of time I'll try to flog...

    That's OK, thanks for responding. I'm going to buy chips and ink and begin refilling. It seems the only way to go. Can you please suggest a reputable ink supplier in the UK.? And a chip supplier too? I've been watching the YouTube videos and see precision colours linked on Jose's site. Wonder if...

    I agree, and I'm still waiting on mine coming back from the service center. Nearly a month now :-/ How are you refilling please and can I ask where your buying your inks and how do we refill the cartridge. Do we need to buy a special cartridge?

    Canon Pixma Pro 1 Ink and refill options.

    This was bought on the 1/2/15. It's done about 500 7x5 Prints and around 60 A4, 20 or so A3 and no more than 30 A3+ prints all on Fotospeed papers and 80% of it done with Canon own inks. Have to be honest and say the issues began with me using replacement cartridges but it's run fine on them for...

    So I cant put in the empty OEM cartridges ? Thats a cost to me of around £180.00 to buy new and ship for service :( It has an extened waranty so I'm good for another 3 yrs. Will they know I've used compatable inks ? What answers should I have ready ? I'm gettin a tad nervous :hide

    Ok thanks again Hat, not tried it yet, how long will that work for and do you think a new battery etc will be under the warranty ? Only had it about 14 months : /

    Hello again everyone. I have had some luck with the inks first suggested by The Hat. I found replacing them one by one as the originals became spent worked. It seemed changing them all at once threw up an error, but one by one worked fine ... Until this morning when Ive gone to print a wedding...

    I will have the engineer come to me. I guess I just wait for a full tank message and then call them out. I will try using the inks again, i sealed the full compatables with tape and boxed them up for future use. As soon as i run out of an ink I'll replace with a compatable tank and see how i get...

    I bought it from Calmunet in Manchester off the shelf so to speak. Paid cash, put it in the boot, drove home. Opened it and found the polystyrene broken on the larger pieces. It didn't flag to much concern up as the printer was properly wrapped with the expected seals / tape etc. Could it be...

    I'm going to try replacing 1 ink at a time to see if it's just one cartridge that's at fault. I did replace 10 inks in one go. Maybe that error was a consequence of faulty chips ? I did bring up your point while on the phone to the service ctr. I have printed less than 6 a3+ and no more than 20...
