...But if the print head gets here first, can I test it out if it works without any inks in it as long as I don't start printing?

I recommend that you don't do that. New Canon print heads contain a transparent blue conservation fluid. When a new print head is installed, the printer does a nozzle clean to get rid of the conservation fluid and replace it with ink. The testing with empty carts installed causes the print head to take in air, which could lead to problems, as the print head relies on a steady supply of ink to cool the nozzle heaters. Don't unpack the new print head until you are ready to start using it.

Thanks for the advice.

Are there image-specialists vendors that are US-based? Precision color is Canada-based.

Also, how many ounces are the ink samples when you request directly from image-specialists' website?

One US based supplier that I know of is inkjetcarts.us but Precisioncolor are cheaper despite being in Canada.

The weight varies according to how much you want to get at any one time,
its 4 oz / 120ml. for inkjetcarts and 2oz and 4 oz for Precisioncolor..

Thanks for the info.

Regarding the weights, I was actually asking about requesting samples directly from image-specialists.com, how much do they give?

They dont supply any ink or samples to the general public, (Joe Soap)
you will have to purchase them from one of their retail ink suppliers..

Oh ok. But I just read a thread in these forums saying he got a sample from Gemini something in Europe because Joe directed him to that place. I'll see what he says with my request anyway. Thanks.

Yes, from the discussions in this thread we already know that info?

Yes, you will need to repair the printer.

Usually, replace the print head only, right?
