MP980 woes, nozzle check GRAY NG, any ideas ?

[jimbo123]

i use my MP980 strictly to print photos. it does get a fair amount of use.

in the past 18 months, i have refilled 190 ink carts spread over the 6 carts, so approximatley 10 refills a month.

picked up a few of these MP980's in 2010 when canon had refurbished ones for $36 incl shipping.

I reckon that is more than enough to keep you printer happy and the print head ticking over just nicely..
