    I fixed my Print Head, BUT it wasn't the Nozzles...

    I think I dented the Mesh on the Yellow Inlet of the Print Head the very first time I attempted the Tubing. Could this be a possible symptom. And if so is there any way to fix it or not at all?

    I fixed my Print Head, BUT it wasn't the Nozzles...

    That's pretty concerning. So many alternating advices out there, even reading these forums from years before my time some posts recommend using Ammonia. Even read somewhere some had used boiling water. I do think maybe the nozzles are shot because ever since I soaked and resoaked the [entire]...

    I totally hear what you're saying Mr Hat, just one word... Money. If Canon UK didn't charge extortionate prices unlike in the US where they are practically giving away this printer which in turn has given many customers over there to opportunity to stock up on Pro-100's. Makes my blood boil to...

    Meant to upload this test print recommended by The Hat recently. Yes I was having problems. Also faint (horizontal regardless if print is portrait or landscape) lines that have now (hopefully) gone away. *Just want to point out I decided to stay AWAY from Windex-D and Isopropyl Alcohol this...

    I fixed my Print Head, BUT it wasn't the Nozzles...

    Been having some serious issues with the Yellow clog during the past month or so. The amount of times I have taken out the Print Head and soaked it either overnight or for days. I was about to contact Canon or buy a new Print Head (when we bought the Pro-100 S we also added 2-year Protection on...

    Interesting find, mold on CL-8 NOT CLI-42

    I also recommend for your Android to use the free app Snapseed. It can work wonders and while there are other apps available I do recommend this one. Snapseed. Free. It may take a while to get used to it, but I believe it doesn't matter how perfectly we take a Photo by whatever means, it can...

    Interesting find, mold on CL-8 NOT CLI-42

    I did initially try and scan but it produced some form of pixelated digital artifacts. Did some research and by all means with a tripod and quality lens this works. Spent 48 hours cleaning it up, dust and scratches. Was an amazing surprise to be handed the original by my 90-year young Aunt whom...

    My 6-month young Pro+100 died on me today. No Yellow!

    Thank you, that's reassuring, but for how long I wonder? Once bitten, twice shy... in this case 3 or 4 times bitten already. Will give it a go (still recovering for our holiday, no not hungover :caf, just long walks in the countryside :old. 2,000 photos taken with the Nikon, 1,000 with phone...

    My 6-month young Pro+100 died on me today. No Yellow!

    Dearest Hat, Have just returned from holiday and after letting Print Head rest in shallow ''Pharmacist's Solution" for a week I am happy to announce that a new Nozzle Check has once again showed Yellow. So I will hold off doing anything until instructed by you how I should proceed. Exactly how...

    Interesting find, mold on CL-8 NOT CLI-42

    Dear kdsdata, sorry for the late reply. Have just returned from a week long vacation and read your question. This is a Photograph of my Grandparents married in 1946. I have the original, but I took a Photo of it and enhanced it with "post-processing". I do have an Android, but ironically I...

    Interesting find, mold on CL-8 NOT CLI-42

    Hmmm, upon further investigation possibly you are right, I am thinking maybe minute fragments of the Rubber from the Syringe? I do notice them inside the Cart around the Outlet Sponge as shown in third Photo. Maybe THIS is now inside the Print Head. I was racking my brains last night and what...

    Interesting find, mold on CL-8 NOT CLI-42

    OK news just in, I think this warrants it's own thread. No one is to blame here, but some of us devote a lot of time, money, and energy, including emotional. I am extremely grateful for the help and guidance of this forum, but I think the problem is forms as a whole. I have just spent all...

    What is "draining too fast"?

    Is this the proper way to refill a Cartridge? 75%? Because if so I have been doing it wrong from the start. I usually fill to 50% and then block the serpentine and then fill the rest to 95%. Never once when it comes to putting in these refill Carts into the Printer when taking off orange Clip...

    My 6-month young Pro+100 died on me today. No Yellow!

    OK Nozzle Checks are all coming up blanks. I have 2 options: Either, a) Flush a Yellow Cart and fill it with what, Windex and Dish Soap (i.e. Fairy Liquid) ad Water? What else/instead, Isopropyl? Glycerin? Propylene Glycol? b) Do what I did, but instead of leaving the Print Head in a...

    My 6-month young Pro+100 died on me today. No Yellow!

    Got it, will do! Not over-filling per se, maybe the sponges on some have been a little oversaturated on the top sponge, not letting the carts run dry, but it is usually, almost always, the Grey that gives me the low-ink notification and I swap out the whole set every time. Remember I posted my...

    My 6-month young Pro+100 died on me today. No Yellow!

    Darn it, so good news and bad news. This seems the exact same situation I had with the Pixma ix6550... I did almost all what you suggested this morning The Hat, short of swapping out a Yellow Chip onto a Magenta or Cyan Cartridge. I thought let me go ahead do what you recommended, run a...

    My 6-month young Pro+100 died on me today. No Yellow!

    I will try this tomorrow. Thank you. Being as it is still only 6 months old is it not under warranty? Bought from Amazon and paid the extra got 2 years cover?
