Because I don't want to hijack someones post:
http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1297
I want to start a thread on a subject that has been touched on before in this forum.
Assume that it is a Canon with non-chipped tanks.
If a particular colour is giving problems and substituting an OEM for the problem cart does not solve it, we assume that the problem is in the head?
To verify this suspicion and eliminate the possibility that we have two bad carts of the same colour, is it permissable to switch a "good" colour into the slot occupied by the "bad" colour?
Example;cyan is suspected, switch it with the yellow.If the symptom moves with the cyan to the new slot, then the cart is bad.
If the symptom now shows up in the yellow slot, the print head is bad,clogged,plugged.
Now the real question would be, does switching colours around cause any other problem that might aggravate the symtoms further and is it a valid troubleshooting technique?
