Canon Pixma MX495: How to do Printhead Cleaning Cycles and Improve Print Quality

Shop Here: refreshcartridges.co.uk/canon...
In this short video, Matt shows you how to clean the printhead of the Canon Pixma MX495, pulling fresh ink from the installed PG-545 and CL-546 ink cartridges. This is essential knowledge for resolving almost any print quality issue with your printer, from missing colours to striped prints, we recommend doing this first. Cleaning in this way does use up black, cyan, magenta and yellow ink within your ink cartridges, so be sure to use this function of your Canon Pixma MX495 sparingly.
Whilst we have used a Canon Pixma MX495 printer in this video, the process remains the same for other machines in the MX490 series too. These include the Canon Pixma MX491, MX492, MX494, MX496, MX497, MX498 and MX499. Doing it by this method also does not require the use of an attached computer/laptop.
We hope you have found this guide useful. Be sure to also keep up with us on Facebook (on. hZ1r4T) and Twitter (bit.ly/gtJNlw).

This printer is the biggest pile of wank. Despite doing the nozzle cleaning, even going as far as doing the deep clean setting it still prints only half a page before it fades. Good video by the way.
