Rubber Gaskets For Canon Printheads?

[nanosec]

Has anybody got a source on these? I just spent all night trying to fix my Ip4300 that stopped printing cyan. Just as I'm about to add it to the pile of "needs new printhead" I thought I'd try a gasket that came with my ip4600 refillable carts.

To my sickness and horror (How many printheads have I inadvertently thrown out over failed gaskets) the printer starting perfectly.
As you can guess, this will be added to my arsenal of "things to try".

Has anybody got a source where I can buy 100 of these things? They can be the 3rd party silicone add-on.

Here's my list of my arsenal.

Just answering my own query, I was able to get a price of .02 cents a gasket directly from China. Still investigating.

Thanks for your replies guys!

I'm going to read up on the vacuum grease, I would be just a bit nervous with that stuff around my print heads which cost astronomical amounts to replace.

If I had to make my own gaskets, they sell silicone baking sheets at the dollars stores around here, which would probably be ideal for cutting up and making my own gaskets.
