Happy for Harry but things are at a point where I'm going to have to cut my losses I think Ran through numerous nozzle cleans and checks - My PBK is still only about 80% there - lost at the top. I'm frustrated as the checks can vary between about 60-90% coverage, some printouts get worse again...

Right so. I've compromised and got the monochrome inks in from 123ink.ie. Having fitted the ones that were getting low I did a System Clean on just the group 1 inks, gave it 30 minutes and then did a nozzle check.The good news is I'm now seeing streaking on the PBK output (and all other inks...

Worth getting the really cheap LCL inks from Amazon just to run the system clean? Still €100+ though

Okay... After Nearly a week of a daily clean and nozzle check I can say that all my other nozzles are now totally clear. Photo Black though - like the deal on Brexit - hasn’t been seen for 3 years and is looking unlikely to show its face. I’ve a level alarm on 3 inks and most of the others are...

Hi Gang. I’ll persevere with nozzle checks and occasional cleans whilst this set of cartridges have life in them but I think I might draw the line at spending on new ink that may not still produce results. Better to put the money towards a replacement (current) model??

Quick update. The ink levels of the PBK are definitely dropping. I’ve done a nozzle check and Yellow is still improving 95% now, but nothing from Photo Black

I'll wait until tomorrow before any more clean/nozzle check cycles but this time leave the printer on.

I’ve about 80% showing in the PBK cart. Some of the greys are a lot lower at this stage. I’ll try shaking again and a nozzle check then repeat those every couple of hours??

Getting there. Yellow is now about 90%. Still Nothing on PBK. I take I just keep cycling through this process? I will need new in soon though

Morning @The Hat I missed your previous response last night so had powered down. Powered back up this am and ran a clean and a nozzle check. Improving. All inks except PBK & Y are complete and smooth. The PBK is absent altogether and the Y is just the top half of the run - though on close...

@The Hat - Thanks for that, made some progress with the first Deep Clean as you suggested. See the Nozzle check below. Before (left) & After - you were concerned about Cyan which seems to have pretty much bounced back - nothing yet from PBK though.

Old, Slow and Noisy - me not the printer. Dublin Ireland

Hi all I’ve just joined the site so excuse me jumping in but I spotted from this thread on removing a Canon Pro-1 print head that @The Hat was the man to speak to. Mine is seriously clogged after being idle for 3 years (the wife would say the same of me). I’ve worked through this post having...

Hi All I’m probably the worst type of printer owner - certainly from a photo printers’ perspective. I print VERY occasionally but look for the best quality. I’ve been cursed with more clogs than a Dutch gift shop and that’s where I’m at now. I’m here to see if the community can help. I’ve a...
