    Canon Pro9000 Mk2 left inactive for at least 6 months

    If your uncle has not bought a new printer, I do have have a brand new MP610, unused and ink carts. He is most welcome to it for the cost of shipping (I have no idea how much it will cost. I am located in San Diego). It is a few years old in the original box. Edit:

    Canon Pixma MP970 Is It Regarded As Rubbish Nowadays

    Thank you for your comment on Pro-100. I agree with the value and the quality of Pro-100. It's the size/bulk etc and the fact that I print so few photos nowadays - hence ..... Don't get me wrong, I do agree that Pro-100 is of superior value.

    Canon Pixma MP970 Is It Regarded As Rubbish Nowadays

    For MP970, I have been using ink from Precision Colors. (Converted from Hobbicolors.I am based in Southern California) Works well!! I also use dye ink instead of pigment for the big black PGI5 as this is the one that clogged most often with my previous 970s when it's not used often. So far so...

    Canon Pixma MP970 Is It Regarded As Rubbish Nowadays

    I am on my 3rd and last MP970. I bought these quite a while ago, as you can imagined. MP970 has been more than adequate for what I need. I use it mainly for printing small 4x6 photos and DVD labels. The output is excellent. I have a Dell color laser for printing docs. I recently acquired a...

    Many thanks. I am always reluctant to take my chances on Ebay and something shipped from China. But you found a good one!

    PeterBJ, Thank you. Looks like the last 3 digits, 010, is important to get the right model.

    MP970 print head

    Hi, I am looking for a new print head for MP970. Some sites say it's QY6-0062 while other sites categorically stated that it's for MP950 MP960 IP7500 IP7600, and not MP970. Does anybody have a correct info and any recommendation where it's best to get it from? Thank you in advance. Kefp

    Staples double sided matte paper

    Steve W I also like this paper. The fading is superior to Costco's Kirkland. I have a little trouble making a good profile for this matte paper with prism. I get a lot of saturation, unlike glossy papers. The output looks fine for the most part, however. Do you have the same issue? Kefp

    CLI8 Resetter problem

    I have 2 CLI8 resetters, the original red one (bought it when the price was sky high) and a blue one. Both seem to have a hard time resetting a cartridge nowadays. It takes a lot of mucking around to get a cart reset, unlike when they 1st arrived. I have changed the batteries in both cases to...

    IP4500-missing Cyan nozzle check

    Just reporting back: I did as suggested above - put a drop of Windex on the screen for the cyan nozzle and also put some Windex on the larger purge pad. Then do a cleaning of just the dye ink nozzles. It's been good for 2 days in a row now. If it dries up again I'll let you know.

    IP4500-missing Cyan nozzle check

    Hi, my 1st clog that was not successfully remedied by a cleaning cycle. Initially after a deep cleaning cycle, the printer worked fine but by the following day it happened all over again. I have been following some threads but not quite sure if the next step should be dripping windex into the...
