Last March I changed my G2010 Colour ink head as it decided to burn out it's magenta and yellow heads one fine day ( https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/g2010-is-this-print-head-a-goner.16412/ )
Fast forward one and a half year and yesterday the printer again decided to but out the magenta and cyan head. Is this some sort of printer issue or just low quality canon spare parts? I have been extra careful this time as to not run the printer dry without ink in the tubes and also regularly printed random things to keep the heads running. I did a Deep Clean and even removed the cartridge and blew air into it to make the ink come out, a bit came out but that's it. No improvement on prints. Not even 1000 pages and the head is gone.
What it should print vs what it prints
I am using the printer in grayscale mode until Amazon delivers the new printhead.
