My Canon printer has just come out of the years warranty period so I have started to go over to generic inks. So far I have only replaced the cyan and yellow with generic inks. I have now got a problem so have done several cleans, deep cleans and performed nozzle checks.
When I do the nozzle check all the colours look O.K. except the 3e Bk does not appear at all on this printout as shown on the maintenance programme. Should I be seeing it?
When I print a picture on photo quality inkjet paper everything looks fine but when printing the same pic on plain paper the very dark grey to black areas are showing white. I have not had any warning that the large 3e Bk black ink is running out as yet. I have still got a Canon replacement to use for this, when necessary. Can I check somehow if there is ink still in the cartridge?
Help appreciated
