"You are more right than wrong," as my late mother would say, when trapped for an answer, I watch your tutorials and listen to your advise, as I am considering a Pro printer when I can, but for the moment have an Epson XP-960 for which I sat there very frustrated in urgency to print and caught with a cleaning cycle, caught with likely over soaked pads, and more than two resets. So, what you say makes good sense and that when I can renew my printer for the 700 or 1000, I am now warned has been the source of my problems too. Thank you, I am learning and hope others realise you are correct and make saving on unnecessary ink loss that should realistically, be used instead on the next print.

My experience is this: I don't use my Pixma Pro 9000 for days on end. It is set to "automatic" mode. It supposedly goes off when not in use for a number of minutes. Not really "off" but it is "sleeping". It is sleeping until you command it to print something and it will print usually without doing a cleaning cycle. It will, however, initiate a cleaning cycle when it is just siting there for a few days without my intervention because it was just "sleeping" not "off".

":It is sleeping until you command it to print something and it will print usually without doing a cleaning cycle" "It will, however, initiate a cleaning cycle when it is just siting there for a few days without my intervention because it was just "sleeping" not "off" OR do you mean if you print something withing a certain number of hours while it is in SLEEP mode it will not do a cleaning cycle unless it sets SLEEPING for days? I currently have all my CANON so they never sleep or auto off. That plus using them often will pretty much stop most auto maintenance. The PRO-9000 is ancient by comparison to the model I am talking about here. I have two 9000MKII sitting on my floor right now. One new and one with no printhead.

The inks were low on my Pro 200 and I started to replace them as they ran out, I saved ink and got extra prints out of it but it restarts each time so I now put them all in at the same time to avoid it, I also print a 6x4 every week or two and the head has not blocked so far. Photgraphy and printing is an expensive hobby but thats just the way it is if you want the best results. The best way to print cheap is to use a printer like the Canon MG5750 with non OEM inks i get decent results for not much money and if the printer dies it's only £50.00 for a new one, Iv'e had mine for maybe four or five years and it still works well and it's never blocked up in that time, leaving them dormant for months on end is the worse thing you can do to a printer.

I think you are the one "expert" that really knows what he (/they) are talking about. I have been using Canon printers for over thirty years and presently have an MG6620 I have always LOVE the Canon printers. I recently decided to replace the print head (QY6-0082). I ordered one and when I got it, it gave me the error "wrong print head". It was clearly marked "QY6-0082" but only when I put the original print head (a QY6-0082) back did everything work.. Is it that there are varieties of QY6-0082s, or can the Service Tool allow resetting the printer to allow the replacement head to work? OR is there a combination of button-pushes that will do it? [and where can I find a reliable source of the Service Tool???) Sincerely, Dr T Rowe

You are correct. I have a 15 year old Cannon printer and when new, I could go weeks without the inkjets drying up. Now it is like 24 hours and I have to do a clean cycle. Mine does not go into auto clean mode. I think it is the design of the cartage. Face it, they don't make much if anything on the printers. It's the ink cartage's that are the cash cow. 30 years ago I worked for a company that made Fax machines. They had special paper that they basically burned the image on. No ink at all. It should be easy to do black and white and grey tones easily. Color would be tricky.

Canon IP7260 here. I replaced all the cartridges with refillable cartridges and the ink cartridges have worked fine and are still working after two years. I am using non-genuine inks meant for Epson inkjets because I already had 700ml bottles of them from 7 years ago when I used Epson printers. The colors look close enough for me--not accurate--but it doesn't look bad or wrong. Monitor is calibrated using EyeOne Match Pro, which is probably the most important step I have done. You can just keep manually adjusting the colors for your printer profile after each print until you are satisfied with the color-matching. However the pigment black is no longer printing as I stopped printing for a month. Perhaps it dried up & clogged the heads. Cleaning the heads doesn't fix it. My work around is to change Printer Settings to "High Resolution Paper" which will use normal black ink instead of pigment black. Best thing to do is save up for a second hand Xerox Phaser color laser printer. Sometimes companies sell them really cheap or even give them away for free when they upgrade.

Could you do a video step by step workflow for exactly what needs doing to get the best results? That would really help me.

A quick story - I bought a 2nd hand pro 9000mkII on ebay . It was described NIB but when I got it , a few inks were done and the green channel was totally clogged. This was due to it probably sitting in a box for 2-3 years. I assume it was given away with a Canon camera purchase. So to clean the head I used NO solvent. But I did use an ultrasonic cleaner , hydrogen peroxide and a small amount of isopropal alcohol. half an hour in cleaner and testing it - the green now flows perfectly while on the test strip it was blank when printing green.. no lines or anything. Just make sure you take out the rubber if using alcohol.
@cheo19498 жыл бұрын
Usually it's not recommended that you use an ultrasonic cleaner. It can actually cause internal damage of the internal delicate components. Also Hydrogen peroxide can cause damage. Most canon print heads need only need to be partly soaked in warm distilled water with maybe a bit of Windex mixed in. But you had success and one can not argue with success. Enjoy your 9000 MKII.

I was wondering about your opinion on something. I have an IPF 6300 and I am now experiencing issues with my second set of printheads. I don't print enough and I have not been good at running nozzle checks and test prints to keep the nozzles from clogging up. At the present, I have ink in the machine and two, unopened printheads. I am talking to a retailer about getting some cash back for the print heads and putting that towards a newer, smaller printer such as the Canon Pro 1000 or the Epson P800. The alternative would be to keep the 6300 and use the new printheads. My goal is to have a more trouble free printing experience based upon low volume usage. What do you think?

The P800 would be your best choice for not often printing! But you must know how I feel about that! If I am not committed to use my printers at least once a week of more often, then maybe I should.not own one. But that is just me. The P800 will be more forgiving. But not the Canon printers.

According to the manual for the Pro 10, each time an ink cartridge is replaced, the printer is supposed to automatically run a cleaning cycle on the next print...so even for the frequent user this appears to be unavoidable. I've yet to verify this myself - just picked up one a few weeks ago and just now had to change one out for the 1st time, guess I'll find out soon. I've been running by the "60 hour rule" thus far. P.S. Thanks for your videos, several have been very helpful in getting me started!
@cheo19497 жыл бұрын
Yes. One complete ( all 10 colors ) purge cycle every time you change one cart. Yes the 60 hour cycle is also part of the PRO-10. That is why I have two complete sets of carts. Once ONE cart reaches low, I exchange the complete set with reset and filled FULL ( 10 cart ) set. Once purge cycle is generated and I will will not be changing inks for quite a while. The single cart changing creates what we call " The Domino Effect " you are constantly changing carts and others that were near low.... will them BE low after the ink purge. The two set / change when one cart is low scheme, minimizes the generation of waste ink and preserves and extends the life of your Waste Ink pads. Ta change then reset the Printer will cost you more than half the printers original cost.

Jose Rodriguez Wow, interesting and good to know - thanks. With the talk of minimizing/avoiding cleaning cycles, it seems somewhat surprising that this part of it doesn't get nearly as much attention as printing frequency, etc. For me, the first cartridge to run out was CO (not a surprise), which I just changed out. I have not printed since changing it, so the cleaning cycle has not been triggered yet. The low ink warning just came on for Gray, and PB is about 1/4 full. The color ones are around half at this point. MBK is near full. Sounds like I should go ahead and change out Gray as well before I print again - and what about PB? What would you recommend? Thanks!
@cheo19497 жыл бұрын
Officially that is never discussed as it is expected that NONE of us would or should be refilling with 3rd party inks. CO will be used at 4x the frequency to other colors. Grays are used a lot as well when printing COLOR. That is the way it is able to print super smooth gradations. You are on the PRO-10 so I said to change over when you hit LOW. Well that was a mistake on my part. Your PGI-72 carts do not have a sponge nor do they have to be modified in any way. Just reset and drip ink on the exit port till full at 33 grams. I do however exchange a complete set when ANY one goes to the empty or near empty mark. I remove them all and replace with 10 reset and full carts and continue printing. Then at my leisure I reset and top off all the carts I removed. One Purge per MAJOR cart change. No domino effect. SO you will need one more set of carts. Otherwise you will have to do each one at a time. Not good!!!

Ah I should have clarified - I'm not refilling my own cartridges (and don't have the equipment nor the space to do so even if I wanted)...just buying them the old-fashioned way - direct from Canon.

Dear Jose, I have enjoyed watching your videos and learned a lot from them. I had a Pixma Pro-9500 which worked fine for around 5-6 years (I can't remember exactly how long) I did not use it that much because of the cost of each cartridge and I now realise that this was false economy. Eventually the print head clogged and I could not unclog it so I replaced the 9500 with the Canon Pixma Pro-100s. After watching your videos (which all seem to have referenced the Pro-100 and not the 100s) I thought I knew how to do things right. I keep the printer on all the time and I make a print every two days. Sadly, the 100s seems to keep carrying out cleaning cycles, even today when I made two batches of prints it seemed to carry out a cleaning cycle before each session. Do you think that Canon have heard about your videos and changed the firmware so that the 100s is scheduled to do more cleaning cycles and not just after every 2.6 days?

The pro 100 has timed cleaning cycles that will occur on your next print job after you exceed 120 or 480 from your LAST CLEANING CYCLE! SO if you print right this minute and you had not printer within the last 120 hours that print job would be preceded by a cleaning cycle because you had not printed within the last 120 or MORE hours. If you print anything within that 120 hour window no cleaning cycles will occur until you pass 120 hours. If you have not printed for 120 hours the cleaning will be medium and if you have not printed for 480 hours the cleaning will be larger. How much ink do they use? No body knows.

Thanks for your great videos, Jose. Maybe I shouldn't have the puppy. I have had many Canon printers and have enjoyed making my own prints over many years. Over that time, I have replaced many printheads due to clogging. I was about to throw the whole idea of home printing out the window (along with the most recent printer.). But ....I got a Canon iP8720 last summer. My wife and I did our snowbird thing over the winter and took our truck/camper down to Mexico on a 5 month trip. In an attempt to prevent the inevitable printhead clog, I removed the printhead and stored it in a tupperware container. I used tye-wraps to suspend the head off the bottom and poured in distilled water with a little Windex. Not sure - but I think the liquid was just touching the bottom of the printhead. So 6 MONTHS later, I flush the printhead and reinstall it - sure enough - it's clogged. After 2 days of flushing, purging, using an electric toothbrush and cursing, I got it working. ........ I guess I can rant too ............. anyway: My question is this: Is there any way that I can go to Mexico and come back to a working printer? (Not going on the trip is not an option - otherwise I wouldn't have all the great photos.) - We do not have anyone looking after the townhouse - nobody is here. - Would it be risky and complicated to come up with a system for automatic printing every 2 days? (5 months = 75 prints) - Is there any way I can remove and store the printhead so it will not clog? I am sure other retired photographers are in this same situation - I look forward to your comments.

I can't say for sure whether printing in B&W mode uses only black and grey inks or a composite of all colors. I think not.

However there are reports of other types of noises occurring before a job begins to print even under the 60 hour period. Its hard to determine what the printers are actually doing.

Thanks very much, but I just ordered a Canon TR7520. Would this be the same routine for this series of printers? If not, what can you offer for keeping it from clogging when I get and start using it? I think I have found a good ink supplier that gets their ink from a US manufacturer and is supposed to be formulated to the same specs as OEM much less expensive. Ink Owl is who I am considering for the ink. Any advice for me? Thanks. I enjoy and have seen some of your videos before and they are very good. I can tell you really love your printing.

Yes the routine would be the same. But the times cycles would be different and No one knows what those are. Ink Owl inks are made by Image Specialists who was bought by a Florida based company. And no. No 3rd party inks dye or pigment match oem 100%.

That'll work for me. I am not an aficionado and probly didnt even buy the best printer for my needs. I will be using it to print flyers for my business now and then and mostly text documents. I was gonna get a Canon Maxify but I think that one will only use pigments which I dont need. I really wont be printing alot of pictures. Just once in a while. I had an Epson Workforce which was a nightmare after one year. I had one previous to that one and same thing. So i thought I would try Canon. I purchased 3 refurbished Brother Laser 9130CWs for my business. Every one of the Brother 9130CWs would leave toner smudges every few pages and would also come off on my hands. I had to return them all. That would have been my printer of choice for my needs. Was very disappointed. So I'm back to trying an inkjet again with Canon which I never owned before. Thanks again. You are a great resource and I subscribed.

I am not familiar with this family of printers. Just how old are these models? When the paper refuses to feed after a year or so of sue is due to the rubber rollers no longer being "Sticky" so they can no longer grab the sheets of paper consistently!

Hi, Jose. I've heard you often speak about the timed Canon cleaning cycles, 60 h, 120h, 480h. You say that if one prints before the timed cycle "your ink will go to the print and not be wasted on a cleaning cycle." I'm confused by that statement. Do the cleaning cycles occur even if you are printing every day, or does printing "reset" that cleaning cycle clock so that it does not occur until the printer is idle for the 60, 120, 480 hrs? Thanks
@cheo19494 жыл бұрын
Okay. We now know that printing those not disable any of the cleaning cycles that occur. Pigment printers like a pro 10 will run a cleaning cycle every 60 hours whether you print or not. The pro 100 being a dye ink printer has a longer. 120 hours again, whether you print or not. Please go to my video list and look at the very recent one that I did a few weeks ago it explains everything We now know about the maintenance Cycles at the Canon printers run.

While that happens I'm rediscovering printing having been out of the game for 12 yr-ish.

If you know you're not going to make that 60 hr window, and know that say you maybe will not print for 2 wks or more....could you remove the ink carts and store them so they would not dry out? Then slap em back into the printer when the need arises? Thanks again for your vids, keep em coming! Mark

The comment above about waste cartridges is untrue. Before your waste cartridge runs out of capacity turn off the printer and take out the waste ink cartridge. Go somewhere where there is water and you can make a mess, take out the screws on the waste tank, open it and remove and discard the absorbent material. This can get messy so have your trash can right next to you and wear your painting clothes. Once the padding is removed, fill the waste cartridge back up withpaper towels or similar absorbent material. Big box stores sell a heavy duty paper towel for working on cars and similar things for about $2 and it works well. Close the cartridge up, put it back in your machine. Go to service mode by pressing load and navigate while powering up the printer. Once in service mode, go to the adjustment menu, then to initialize and down arrow until you get to W_Ink (waste ink). Hit the OK button. Power down your printer. When you reboot your printer, the Maintenance cartridge will be reset at 100%.

Before this , at the clicking on the "print' word, there used to be an immediate whirring sound and the pages would start being printed quickly. when the problem started i bought a new b&W cartridge,installed it, and again clicked on "print", but there is a total silence, nothing happens.....could the cause be that microsoft stopped supporting the WINDOWS XP around 2014/15, and then this cause my BjC-250 stopped working forever?

I own a Canon i960 inkjet printer (ca. 2004). I don't print everyday and usually it goes like this... I "re-discover" my printer and start using it for a few weeks. Then months or even years go by and I ignore it. Still have this printer and it works flawlessly, as long as I use the 3rd party Linux driver TurboPrint for it. I get 1200 dpi (fine mode) under TurboPrint, where I only ever got 600 dpi from the CUPS-Gutenprint driver. My housemate friend on the other hand bought his Canon i960 in 2007 and must have used it constantly. He tells me that the printhead wore out and the printer is no longer usable. Sure it does the nozzle check and must have wasted some amount of ink since 2004 and perhaps I've had to purchase more ink more frequently than otherwise. But if I don't print that often anyways, to me, it doesn't really matter. I don't wanna hafta search for some image or document to print to keep the it from doing the nozzle cleaning. I love the look of my i960 and the fact that it just does printing. Not scanning as I have a Canon LiDE 110 for that. No use for fax but I do have three places I could go if I need to fax something.

SO what you have discovered is simply this: Older CANONs are built so much better and perform so much better than our newer models. It is sad but true. Since you print so sporadically as you say only after you rediscover your printer, it is not using any ink during all that time so even with a cleaning cycle it still is not wasting a lot. But my current advice is for folks who are photographers and print much more often than you but sometimes not within that 60 hour limit. They will pay for that with a cleaning cycle. Now about the print heads. Canon print heads are thermal and basically are self destructing themselves as they print. But a print head for a PRO-100 is only about $70 so who cares!! Plus they are user replaceable!

Unless you have Qimage Ultimate and schedule printing of a purge file every two days or so, all you can do is to perform a NOZZLE CHECK ( NOT A PRINT ) and it will trigger it's own cleaning cycle before it prints. Make sure you have enough ink in the carts. View the nozzle check for even band of each color, If it is all perfect then you can proceed to print normally. If not you will have to run a second MANUAL cleaning cycle followed with another nozzle check and check. Hopefully it will be fine.

Dear sir. I have the pro 10, and expecting to receive a pro 100 soon. They are such a good value to be passed by. Just a casual check. Do you think the chassis of the pro 100 is the same as the pro 10? You think if a pro 10 print head is inserted into the pro 100 chassis .. and perhaps unlocked it's use as a pro 10? They are so similar that it seemed plausible that Canon could be manufacturing the mechanical parts as the same design, whilst having a different firmware for each model will bring down their manufacturing costs. If this hypothesis is true. We may just have a cheap chassis for replacement in case the ink pad (irreplaceable) becomes saturated.

Well using an inkjet for just documents just doesn't make any sense! Unless you use it daily. One of the reasons is printers of that lower caliber are practically being given for almost free and the cost of inks hits you. Their response is...What, you didn't know?? On other hand if I have a high end inkjet that I use to create prints for sale and it cost a total of say $20 including paper and waste ink generated but I sell it for $100, then that makes sense to own that type printer. Using it for printing emails or web pages.... No way! People need to look at the situation that way. Inkjet technology is finicky as hell. When I worked wit drafting pens the various diameter would constantly clog and practically lived in the ultrasound bath. My fault for letting them dry from lack of use. Same thing applies to inkjets.

Yes Paper is just as important as the inks themselves. But you know that printer only uses four colors and if by prints you mean Photos, that is not going to work very well as far as color fidelity of your prints. The gamut will be quite low even with OEM inks.

Do you know how to reset the ink counter on the mx series to clear the end of life messages that you get when you hit 60,000 prints to reset it back to zero ? There was a program made by an Indian tech student that could service a lot of settings in the printers that were the L series It doesn't work for the newer MX models Any help is appreciated Thanks Bill

Do mean you want to reset the waste Ink counter?? You need the WIC reset tool plus a $10 serial key for the reset. Get it from www.ocotoinkjet.co.uk But if you mean something else then I need more details. Realize that just resetting to zero does not remove all the waste Ink out of the pads. Eventually they overflow.
@ocsrc7 жыл бұрын
Jose Rodriguez the counter needs to be reset to zero. Cannon sets it so when it reaches the number it stops working and says end of life even though nothing is wrong. I can clean or replace the pads I thought there was a way to clear the counter from the buttons on the top using a sequence to get to that hidden menu

Wait are you talking about Epson or Canon here. New canons quite often cannot enter service mode unless you have access to the can on server along with login credentials. If Epson look to see if the WIC reset tool will work. Otherwise there is not much more I can tell you.

No need to ever do that. Unplugging will waste more ink when you decide to printer next time. The idea of turning off printer is antiquated and no longer relevant with today's modern printers.

Not a model I am experienced or familiar with as I only work with Pro Photo printers but if the carts are not original Canon cartridges, that will be a possible cause for the non recognition of the ink levels.

DIY: get epson, gut it till it still works, buy a kit that lets you connect print head to large bottles of ink via thin tubes, and well have it gutted so you can manually clean the head if it gets too clogged. That's how i printed commercials/flyers etc for years. And you can feed it cheapest ink you can find on the Fleabay. I even printed with food colour dissolved in filtered rainwater (too cheap to buy distilled - i need enormous supply of demineralised water for my aging offgrid forklift lead acid battery ;-) and some generic window cleaner to lower surface tension (the one that had least pungent taste, no ammonia, which i thought has least corrosive stuff in it - questionable technique, but i don't have a gas chromatograph / mass spectrometer...for now;-) The food colour bleaches in weeks/months, but who cares for flyers that will be outdated in few days...

Will they make a second version that would still be desktop, but can print 24 inches? Will they address or present an alternative method to their anti-clogging feature? It will be interesting.

Thanks for your kind and prompt response. I actually just received my Canon quote yesterday for the Pro 2000. But the more that I thought about it, I love the concept of the desktop more so I decided to pass on the Pro 2000. Maybe I can upgrade to that one later if I never get what I want in the desktop version. I just wished the Pro 1000 could print 24 inches. I am not too concerned about length as I am primarily printing portraits and likely some landscapes. I just figured that by the time that I have the money for the Pro 1000, maybe they will have a second version of it out. I was curious on what that new version would be. Could it be 24 inches in a desktop environment? I know some may say that they would not risk galvanizing their Pro 2000, but a I just truly see the products as different. Ooooooor could it be something truly awesome such as larger ink carts going from 80 mL to 137 or 200 mL which I believe are in the larger models. Pay me no mine... I was just brainstorming what the ideal next version of the 1000 would be. It seems that a number of big companies have gotten in the habit of upgrading their products about 18 months to 24 months. Which means... That is too far away since the Canon 1000 was released. By that time, I will be ready to buy. In either case, thanks for your kind response. Talk to you soon....

Actually that one is pretty cheap! Try $500!!! When you removed the head and did your washing, did you unplug the printer? The reason is the recommended thing to do is to power off, remove the plug for about 20 minutes and then re plug and power up. Besides a damaged printhead it could something as simple as a bad contact of the back plate of the printhead to the contacts of the printer. If after checking that and doing the power off and back on it does not work then your only option is the new print head.

Have you ever verified the printer by printing a Standard Image using only the standard settings. To verify a printer you need to be using original inks and paper. For instance, if you are using canon pro luster you need to set the driver to PHOTO Printing. It defaults to DOCUMENT printing. BORDELESS Off, chose the paper type so Pro Luster, then Quality HIGH. Open the image but do not attempt to edit it. Tell the editing app to let the driver control color. If not then you are double profiling and yoiunwill indeed have a color cast. Print it with the settings I've given you. Look at the print and determine that it looks "Correct" to your eye. Have you determined that all the print head channels are firing 100% by running a nozzle check?? There so many possibilities but this is a start. If the Standard Print is correct then it is your monitor not being calibrated. If it is OFF end you will subconsciously edit your image so it appears good on your OFF monitor which will of course cause the image to be wrong and will end be printed that way. Don't play around with ICC profiles just yet until you sort this out.

You should never ever convert an RGB File to Gray Scale. You loose a HUGE amount of Info. GS only has ONE channel composed of only 255 shades of black to white. SO you will get banding across closely related tones. RGB on the other hands has 255x255x255 = 16,581,375 tones! SO... how to take advantage of this? Convert to B&W and never Convert to Gray scale. Here , save yourself further headaches and download my set of Standard Images and print one of the several collages letting the printer control colors and using Photo Printing Choice / Paper Type / Quality High. Remember you must be using OEM inks and Papers. If not then that is your source of the green tint to your B&W prints. www.sendspace.com/file/kivtv2 Here is one of my videos on this subject and there are many morekzbin.info/www/bejne/eGWyfJSodsqtm6c

Hi Jose, this is Hector. I have a Canon MG5720 Inkjet printer which I have not been able to use since new because the magente color would not print. I placed a tech report directly with Canon and they so kindly sent me a new headprinter in the mail. I replaced the headprinter and to my surprise nothing changed. I still have the same problem of the magenta color not being able to print. Somehow I am inclined to think that the printer has not registered within its local memory, I suppose, that it has a new printhead. If this makes sense, do you know a way to tell it that it now has a new headprinter ? or maybe you can tell me what other problem I may be facing. Thank you very much.

I confess to being confused. I wish you had pointed the camera at the printer just once. Are there really $1000 Canon printers? What does it do to be worth that? I bought a Canon Pixma 3600 series printer at Walmart for $40 and I have printed documents in color and black and white and even 8.5" x 11" photos on photo paper and they look great. It also scans and I have digitized hundreds of family photos into my computer. Never once has it done anything on its own or run a cleaning cycle. I'll admit the cartridges are a bit pricey ($60 for one of each) but I haven't kept close track so I could break it down by page. So, why $1000 printers?
@cheo19496 жыл бұрын
Those $60 Canon Printers are only letter size paper capacity and so that limits it as far as creating LARGE prints which is what you pay the extra bucks for. Unless you use third party inks the inks would cost you 2x the price of the printer and that is why they are priced so cheap. The PRO level CANON Printers we are working with will range from $400 to Thousands of $$$. The technology is many fold more advanced and is meant for truly professional production work. The one next to me is the PRO-1000 and it retailed for $1300.

The only time I recommend using a glossy photo paper is when performing AUTO nozzle checks or AUTO print head alignments. These AUTO tests require that the printed results be scanned and analyzed by an internal sensor. These results are sharper and easier to detect and be read by the sensor when printed on glossy rather than copy paper which wicks ink a bit more. Only some printers have these features. For simply printing nozzle check or purge charts you do not need special paper.

HOW TO SOLVE THE ERRO CODE 6A80 ON MY CANON
@HungryGuyStories6 жыл бұрын
I had that problem with inkjet printers from many different brands because I only print something once every few months... Leave them on, and they clean themselves until they run out of ink, and they're out of ink when you go to print something. But leave them off and the ink dries out and clogs. But don't call me cheap because I can't be bothered to print a blank page every two days to keep the ink jet clean. That's a ridiculous thing to tell people! My solution is that I bought a color laser printer. A laser printer doesn't have this problem. A laser printer can sit idle for _months_ between prints without a problem. If your problem is you don't print often enough and your inkjet clogs or runs itself out of ink cleaning itself, get a laser printer...
@cheo19496 жыл бұрын
And I agree with you 99% except for one thing. We are talking about Photo Printing Printers capable of high quality art prints. which lasers simply can not produce. If you do graphics, text, brochures, graphics and even photo album pages then yes get a good Color Laser and don't even consider an inkjet printer.
