This is very frustrating. I have a mg6220 that has been printing great until recently. I have used the german method of refilling since I had a ip3000. Recently I have noticed when refilling my yellow and magneta carts I get alot of bubbles building up in the res tanks, and I have to syphon some air from the sponges when filling to prevent ink overflowing from the top vent, the hole I am filling from, or even from the main port. Now, my yellow has become very streaky. Run a clean cycle, nothing. Run a deep clean, it clears up. I print off 5-10 pages, yellow goes back to streaking. I have done enough deep cleaning cycles that I have almost drained all my other color carts twice. Yellow works for a few pages, then starts streaking again. I have even bought new yellow carts from local Staples. Same.
Highly frustrated. I print check pattern, it looks perfect every time. Print page, yellow streaks... Any idea why it would continue to gum up every few pages? Clean up for a few pages then go right back to shit?
Thanks!
Note, I only refill original canon cartridges that I have bought from local Staples (I swap chips that came w/ the printer original cartridges to 220/221 bought from Staples) and I have been using ink from Hobbicolors. And a chip reseter.
