    Ressurection of Pixma PRO-1

    I said that the new print head just arrived today from C1 supplies, brand new, sealed. I have it here, but not sure how to swap it. I wanted to buy it from the guy I mentioned first, but it was not new as he stated. I wrote that story down, because his head was also obviously leaking cyan. And...

I couldn´t let the old girl die, it is sitting here right next to me on the desk and frustrating me alot, taking up space... so we decided...

    Ressurection of Pixma PRO-1

    The funny thing is that I already checked that when I have seen it on prints of other users- but my nozzle check has nothing printed but the nozzle check?

    Yes Palombian, I am a bit late with the pro1. I was reading alot and was deciding between the two. But somehow I thought after all reading that pro1 is a better printer in terms of quality, bigger cartridges, so a decision was made. The other candidate was Prograf 1000 but I have very limited...

    So it is not possible to reset the waste ink warning if you get it even if the printer is not full? The year this printer was bought is 2014 I think, should look on the receipt if it has anything to do with firmware. I was already thinking at the begining about PRO10, but have red that 1 is...

    I am a naive idiot. Or maybe just an idiot- a normal, most stupid one. So I let it print the nozzle check, unpluged the thing, managed to get the head centered. Doesn´t really mater, because it is not locked in this case, you can easily move it. Well it printed half the nozzle check well, no...

    Ressurection of Pixma PRO-1

    The guy I posted before is Sergey, also a member here, I found out his post. He did the same that I got on my head, siliconed the plastic. But as I understand, he did not put that head back, he bought a new one: #46...

    Ressurection of Pixma PRO-1

    Nope. I opened the right cartridge doors with screwdriver method (the printer did not yet autoshutdown so I just unpluged it) and took the cyan cartridge out, but it is okay, no leaks. I checked the hoses as much as they are visible from the "hole" under big top cover and everything seems to be...

    I force opened the printer cartridge bay on right side (it still did not go auto shutoff), took the cyan out- and cartridge is not the problem, no leak around it and where it ataches. Managed to look a bit inside the printer and all the connection of ink tubes look okay. Probably print head is...

    Ressurection of Pixma PRO-1

    Who was thinking that this will be easy and just printing? Not me. I knew something will happen, it was to simple. Well it was a week more again, time to print a nozzle check or something- if this is even frequent enough? Red last time on some topic that 60 hours is max, then a cleaning...

    Ressurection of Pixma PRO-1

    Ok, yesterday I loaded the ICC profiles from Hahnemuehle and tested printing on William Turner 310gsm paper. I have to say, that I am impressed. The colors are really nice and details are even a bit better than I got on prints from a studio here, known go make quality giclee printing. I tried...

    Hello printerheads! Happy new year to all, and many fine prints. I was silent, I got a really bad flu last week, just the second day after I got my fake cartridge that I was missing. I got the cartridge from "ORINK" chinese company. I changed one original- worked like a charm, smooth, light...

    Hey Hat! Thank you for the answer and for all the knowledge that has accumulated here! Ok, I intend to change the empty ones. I have all the cartridges for spare originals, at least one or two of each, except matte black. Since we are a small country, almost nobody has this cart in stock. So I...
