Well, that's the best thing I've heard in a while.

Thanks for the info, The Hat. Is the OEM ink like a cleaner or something? What's the difference? So.....is it more likely a print head failure, as opposed to a clog? Is air in there a possibility at all? Really? What about one of the pharmacist's solutions? Or removing and cleaning the...

I can't really see that weird pattern in the white band in the BK in these photos. Can you guys see them ok? Well, anyhow, I'll post a close-up of it here, just in case it helps to figure out whether this is printhead failure or clog or whatever.

Please see attached 2 files (hopefully that works ok). The first one is the original nozzle check done a week or two ago, the second is the one from today, #19, and I have 17 more nozzle checks in between these two. I'm refilling OEM carts with PC inks. This is the first problem ever with...

Anybody know a good place to buy Canon printheads in Canada?

So, ok....just "giving my head a shake" here. So, basically, this is what I'm seeing as my options: 1) Buy ARC chips from aliexpress to put on the oem carts. 2) Buy the clear type cartridges with ARC chips. Am I missing anything? Are there any other options?

You did? Hmmm....I'm not seeing that post here anywhere. Anyway, now I'm just wondering if there might be anything else you said that I'm missing out on......?

https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/my-maxify-5350-is-on-refill-ink.11871/page-32#post-122155 I have the MB5120 and love it! That looks like quite a read....I'll have to tackle it one of these days, thanks. Glad to hear you love it....may I ask how you are refilling yours?

I'm in Canada, so hoping for a supplier who is also in Canada. Looking for refillable cartridges and inks for the MB5120. Suggestions....? Also, anybody know if the Precision Colors inks for the PGI-1200 will work in the MB5120?

What is the difference between these two, aside from the smell of the Windex? Which one is more thorough at cleaning?

When storing filled or partially filled cartridges, is it necessary/advisable to tape over the air vent? (I previously did this with 4 carts, and one of them overflowed through the air vent. They are CLI-8, if that makes a difference.)

I think I may now have somewhat of a theory as to why this happened: (?) The story from the beginning: I'm printing a 5 copy print job. The first 2 copies are fine, then on the last 3 copies, there are horizontal lines. Proceeded with nozzle checks, cleanings, and test prints of my cmy and...

Yes. Just opened the original packaging right before installing it.

Neither. I bought it from an online retailer 5 years ago. And, Yes!, there is a serial number stamp on the upper left corner of the bag. Hadn't noticed that before, thanks for that info, Martin0reg.

How do you print uni-directionally? If I continue printing with this printer as is, will this problem cause more problems, or is it possible it could keep on for some time yet?

A total failure of a brand new printhead? Really? Does it make a difference that I had it sitting around here for a few years, (still sealed in box)? If it's a failed ribbon cable/connection, is it fixable? Reseating printhead made no difference. Also, perhaps important: the last nozzle...

I was having problems with this printer, so I replaced the printhead with a new one, inserted a brand new OEM pigment black, and 4 refilled dye carts. Now the dye carts seem to be fine, as far as I can tell. I did a wee bit of printing: my CMYK strip tester, which looks good. I also printed...

Can't be sure exactly how old they are or how many times refilled, but I've had this printer for 5.5 years, and I don't recall replacing any cartridges yet. I have noticed that the sponges seem less saturated with ink, especially in the upper part of the sponges, and sometimes in the lower part...

Is there any way to determine if a refilled cartridge is getting worn out and needs to be replaced, aside from the obvious problems of not printing anymore, of course. Is it possible for an older cart that has been refilled many times to have a problem that could damage a printhead? I'm using...
