    Questions about number of pages printed & cheap ink/damage

    Update - the i960 shut down when the ink waste tank filled up - got the 8 flashes. I tried to reset (see above post) and it reset page count but not the % ink. I took the big step last night using info from this site & Neil Slade/inkjetstuff. I went ahead and dismantled the printer to clean...

    Questions about number of pages printed & cheap ink/damage

    Defcon - Thank you for the response. I'm running behind today so it will probably be this weekend when I try again. Maybe I punched in the code wrong - I hope it was my error. I'll work on it tomorrow. Again thanks for getting back to me.

    Questions about number of pages printed & cheap ink/damage

    Hey - I'm back - update on the printer. I had to clean my print head two times (like what was mentioned in this thread and other threads) and I changed to a better quality ink. It was working great but then I got a message the message "used ink tank is almost full". I went into the service...

    Cleaning and removing the ink heads on Canon !960

    I just checked the EEPROM - I'm up to 32,591 nearly all of it on plain paper. I guess I'm getting my moneys worth with this printer. I curious how far it will go. This hot water cleaning worked great. I was surprised how much gunk was on the head - no wonder it was not working right. I...

    Cleaning and removing the ink heads on Canon !960

    Thank you for this thread. I've been nursing my i960 trying to keep it going. Posted about a month ago & received some great advice - it helped but the printer started getting worst the past few days. I removed the print head and soaked it in very hot water & then rinse - it's now working -...

    Questions about number of pages printed & cheap ink/damage

    Defcon. I did not know that by running mainly with plain paper - the PC & PM are not used. That explains why I don't use much of that ink - just waisted on the cleaning cycle. I used the I-560 before the I-960 that didn't have the PC & PM. I'm rethinking my printer setup - I may want to...

    Questions about number of pages printed & cheap ink/damage

    Wow - this is educational. I will probably wait awhile longer to reset the waste ink counter - until I get closer to 95 to 100%. And the pictures on the German website will help. Thank each of you for taking the time to help a newbie. I think it's not only the money that you can save...

    Questions about number of pages printed & cheap ink/damage

    Thank you Defcon. I checked the EEPROM and it indicates the waste ink counter to be 76.60%. I don't know what the magic number is but it will be just a matter of time. I'll study up on the forum regarding resetting it. Yes quality prints is not my priority on this printer. It is a business...

    Questions about number of pages printed & cheap ink/damage

    Thank you Panos & Defcon2k for your response. I checked the EEPRON info and it indicates the following: PAGE (ALL=31216 PP=31194 HR=00000 PR=00001 SP=00005 MP=00010 PC=0000 OTHER=00001) It appears I'm at 31,000+ on printed pages. Probably about 3/4 of the printing was with the cheap...

    Questions about number of pages printed & cheap ink/damage

    What a great site! First post. I have been refilling my cartridges for about 8 or 9 years and with a what I would call an above average success rate. I found this site last night & have learned more about inkjets/refilling in a few hours than all the years of trial & error. I run my printers...
