Document text is printing double about every 2-4 lines. Nozzel checks show the Canon PGBK vertical grid lines start solid at the top then split in two then come back together near the bottom. All of the rest of the colors (5) are good. This is a Canon Pixma ip8720. I've changed the print head...

When I ran a nozzel check today the black ink band was blank. Cartridge is about 3/4 full. I ran a few cleanings and one deep cleaning - no luck. This is a Precision Colors cart. which I've been filling myself. Am I in for a cart. flush or a print head flush?

Is there a way to be sure that a Canon printhead advertised on ebay or elsewhere for about $100 is genuinely Canon especially if the item is coming from Japan? The OEMs are probably made there anyway.

I searched for this topic to no avail so ..... I'm aware of opinions/facts that suggest at least 24 hours drying time for most prints. How about for 13x19 b&w matte prints using dye inks. My b&w prints consist of large areas of pure black. I have been laying them out to dry for a day or so and...

If I were to fill a new PrecisionColors PGI-250BK cartridge meant for pigment ink with their PC25X-BK photo black dye ink, what problems, if any, could I expect? Would the print head accept this change-up?

Is there a way to find the page count on my PIXMA ip8720?

I've been scanning prints and negatives for a while now with my Epson Perfection 4990 PHOTO and having success --- most of the time. But every once in a while the grain looks a tad mushy. It may be due to the fact that the film in the film holders aren't exactly flat. Or that the scanner is...

Right now I'm using Canon OEM inks in my PIXMA ip8720 to print b/w on Canon Pro Premium Matte (PM-101). I'm having success using these settings: Editing in Photoshop Elements in grey scale mode, in quick setup box in ip8720 series printing properties I select the 'standard' option under...

Using PIXMA ip 8720 and PM 101 Premium Matte. I print only from scanned b&w prints and negatives. After struggling for 1-1/2 years with 3rd party LD (cheaper) pre-filled ink carts which gave me magenta casts and lately bluish darker grays - I installed a set of original Canon OEM carts...

My PIXMA ip8720 printhead alignment print out sheet is missing a couple of blocks of ink in the 6th and 7th rows. I don't think this is normal -- is it? If not, what is wrong?
