    Canon Pro-100s - when deep cleaning doesn't help

    Hello everyone, Reporting back here. Flushed the grey, light grey, black and cyan carts. Filled up with nex ink. Thanks to all your great advice this was even a relatively pleasant task, though I now really understand where 'getting fingers dirty' forum status comes from. I will certainly never...

    Canon Pro-100s - when deep cleaning doesn't help

    Thank you all for your replies and thoughtful options. I will start by flushing and refilling said carts. I honestly believe never having filled the carts with the wrong ink, but maybe this decoloring too is linked to the inks being already three years old? @websnail have you ever seen anything...

    Canon Pro-100s - when deep cleaning doesn't help

    Hello everyone, glad to see how the forums here are thriving, with the industry clamping down on repair and durability, places like these are strongholds of independence! But I'm writing right now because my Pro 100-S is suddenly giving me trouble. Been cleaning and deep cleaning through the...

    Best practices on first-time Pro-100S ink management

    Hello everyone, Hope you are doing and printing well. I have a question regarding the previous posts here: I bought the pre-filled cart set from Octoink, totally sure that was a good choice, but now, at my first refilling moment with these carts, I think I have done something wrong. Black...

    Drivers for iP5200R Mac OS X

    Hello all, When trying to find drivers for a working Pixma iP5200R, I discovered that it's impossible to find drivers for recent versions of Mac OS X for this printer. Does anyone know of a way to get drivers that work on OS X Mojave? Or more in general, to get an iP5200R working on a recent...

    How to find and trust iP4500 X replacement print head

    hi all, hope you're all getting through this bizarre year alright.. I accidentally stumbled upon a working iP5200r - the web says it uses the same print head as the iP4500? Is the web correct? In that case, consider me a happy lucky man. best, kasper

    Canon IP4500 for parts. Free!! Buyer pays shipping

    Makes me wonder if one of my resolutions for 2020 should be to make room in my studio by saying goodbye to my to iP4500's with dead printheads. I'd asked at the local IT recycling center to watch out for IP4500s coming in, but they haven't seen one coming in in over half a year so... breaks my...

    Well... :) judging by the heavy silence following this post, I'm supposing the is the silence of the death of a printer? No hope for the ol' bugger? I was afraid this would be the case... maybe I should like for a replacement printer so I can at least make use of the new OEM carts.. happy...

    Best practices on first-time Pro-100S ink management

    Love reading all your input. Very grateful also for the nuanced perspectives. This is a wonderful community, otherwise the kind of respectful dissent I read through these threads would not be possible. Sounds like good thinking. When refilling when carts are 'low', will the printer have to do...

    MG5350 - B200 situation - new OEM carts

    Dear all, Recently, my 5350 began to display b200 errors. Most of the time I could solve this through opening the printer and while turning the printer on, closing the lid before the tray had completely moved to the left. After installing a set on new OEM carts last week, however, I can't get...

    Best practices on first-time Pro-100S ink management

    Hello Stratman, Thank you very much for your insightful analysis. I for instance did not know the difference between refill and OEM ink on the level of fading is so big. This is something I have to think about carefully. In that respect it might for instance be more interesting to fix up my...

    Inkjet print on painted paper

    Thanks for your feedback! I already experimented with inserting photo paper on which I had printed, written in Posca paint marker and Sharpie, the Pro100s printed over all that without a problem. Will also develop that further to discover how I can use that.

    Hello everyone, and a good Sunday to you all, My question might come from leftfield, but I thought to share it here as it could be a funny one to reflect upon between members of the forum.
