    What does this scan of my Canon i865 nozzle check indicate?

    Well I can only apologize to my old printhead... the new one came and exactly the same problem. I have also noticed a subsiduary problem in that the yellow ink is now contaminated with black. Out of interest what colour should the sponges of the purge unit be? Both mine were black and after...

    What does this scan of my Canon i865 nozzle check indicate?

    Sorry guys, I have been on the road for a while (musician). Thanks for the help and pointers. @Trigger 37 I totally agree with you about Canon "Support".

    What does this scan of my Canon i865 nozzle check indicate?

    I printed a sheet of black text using the 'Photo Paper Pro' setting and the text was printed in perfect black. Hmm, any recommendations on what printer I should get next. :/

    What does this scan of my Canon i865 nozzle check indicate?

    Thanks, though I am not sure if that is correct. I tested each colour on it's own, the Cyan, Magenta, & Yellow with nozzle pattern and all of them printed their colour on squares M & N.

    What does this scan of my Canon i865 nozzle check indicate?

    Thanks for that. Will try manually cleaning the print head. (Where is the purge unit? hmmm) Normally M & N are black (along with the characters '6C' etc) so what is causing them to show up as green?
