Guess what folks? After I switch CIS to the new printer, I re-installed original set of cartridges back to the old maxify, but before that, I re-seated the printhead, after 1 round of alignment & cleaning, here's the print results...
... unbelievable, almost good as new! :barnie
It might just...
As requested folks, here's the purge image after cleaning timing strip again(the purge image is actually an output from qimage, http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage-u/), a software I use to automatically print a page every other day to prevent nozzles drying up when not in use.
It's the same, only...
Agreed & already installed new one, but I was a technical support guy in a previous life, like 20 yrs ago and it's an unhealthy obsession to figure things out, lol.
Comparatively, this is a great little workhorse, I used to buy multiple IP3000 & wear them out before their 1 yr warranty period...
Lol I got a friend who sells large format printers & he said move on, you got your money's worth already. But it's only 14 months old & technically under 3 years warranty, unfortunately, I drilled a hole in the cover for CIS...

You gave me the idea to test thicker stock paper, so I tested on 100gm, way better, only some distortion towards the end... so... anyone know is there any way to change rollers...
Yup, the purge image is supposed to be straight. Sorry didn't explain.
I use different brands of paper, no difference. Manual & auto alignment multiple times, no difference.
Another forum suggested to do a manual alignment using thick paper stock, tried that, not working.
Anyway I bought...
Hi, thanks for the welcome & for responding.
I'm surprised to hear that about canon cis, I've printed 86 thousand pages over 14 months, no jam, no air bubble, no clogging, this is the first real issue after 14 months.
