    Two MP610 print heads available for free

    One is nearly brand new but they will both need a good cleaning. The older one probably had regular black ink fed through its PGBK line. They can be yours for shipping and handling from Japan.

    How old is too old for refill ink?

    My MP-610 is beyond repair :( I have 500cc tanks of refill ink for all colors, but they are between 2-5 years old. Are they too old to consider reselling on an auction site? Also, I thought that the problem with my printer was the print head, but when I bought 2 new ones, the problem was not...

    MP610 new printhead bad test print mystery!

    http://imgur.com/a/pzIH8 Original print head failed, so I ordered a new one. Ran a test print and got a bad result, which is the first image in the link above. Got a suggestion to get a new PGBK cartridge, which I did. That test print is the 2nd image--terrible all around, except that the...

    Pixma printer doesn't print black. Monochrome laser stupid buy?

    So my MP610's PGBK head seems to be half fried. I can still get by on the color tanks, and can print composite black by changing text to 'near' black in most applications. I do a lot of B&W printing for ads and handouts, and appreciate good black quality, which I definitely have not gotten...

    MP610 suddenly stopped printing on return stroke

    My Pixma MP610 suddenly stopped printing while the print head is moving in one direction. The result is a page of 1-inch printing, 1-inch blank, repeat until bottom. I have refilled my own ink tanks since purchasing the printer in 2006, and have had no problems until recently. I just refilled...
