    Bought a used Canon Pro-10s - Do I try and return this or is it still salvageable/fixable?

    Fingers crossed! I saw a post of yours from a while back explaining this but unfortunately cant find it anymore - so just to confirm: I'm alright to leave the printer plugged in (and turned on) at the wall but turned off with the main power button? IT ssits on the desk next to my bed and makes...

    Bought a used Canon Pro-10s - Do I try and return this or is it still salvageable/fixable?

    I considered it but she made it very clear to me that she wanted me to have it when I tried to return it so it would go to a good home - I explained to her that I may be able to get it working again (as I was totally unsure if the head was beyond saving or not, I found multiple posts with people...

    Bought a used Canon Pro-10s - Do I try and return this or is it still salvageable/fixable?

    @The Hat @websnail The results are in... I used a bottle of the OctoInkjet Cannon print head cleaning fluid to clean the print head using the 'passive' methods (no syringes, just pressure from the cleaning fluid saturated paper) outlined in this excellent video from OctoInkJet: I then washed...

    Bought a used Canon Pro-10s - Do I try and return this or is it still salvageable/fixable?

    So I sent the seller a message right after i last posted to explain the situation and she actually just wanted me to keep the printer and gave me my money back - I asked her multiple times if she was Ok with it as it was very kind of her but she seemed to want to just get rid of it and told me...

    Bought a used Canon Pro-10s - Do I try and return this or is it still salvageable/fixable?

    I reckon the seller is being truthful, she was very kind and straightforward and she had used it earlier in the summer for her portfolio. All of the carts currently have ink in them, although they are all 3rd party inks. I reckon theres a good chance I could get it working with the method you...

    Ok so I just finished drying out the print head (left in airing cupbard for 2hrs) after leaving it to soak as you described and printed a nozzle check - here's what I got: As this wasn't much of an improvement I then tried Ink quality maintenance, cleaning cycle and then a nozzle check as you...

    Bought a used Canon Pro-10s - Do I try and return this or is it still salvageable/fixable?

    Thank you very much for your reply! I've removed all ink and the print head (some are without the plastic clips so I've palced them spongy-side down in tupperware for now. The only thing I'm concerned about is putting the head in 2" of water would touch the electrical contacts on the back of...

    Bought a used Canon Pro-10s - Do I try and return this or is it still salvageable/fixable?

    I bought a used Canon PRO-10s just the other day on marketplace on a bit of a whim after seeing it highly recommended by a Youtuber I watch, and unfortuantely for me - pretty much zero knowledge of inkjet printer maintenance (stupid i know, very much a newbie). The printer came with 3rd party...
