I wonder if some kind person can throw some light on a problem that has
developed on my 6 month old printer.
Basically the print out became muddy and when I ran a nozzle check it
showed that the yellow ink was almost grey (the printer has separate
cartridges and the yellow tank is adjacent to the larger of the black
tanks)
the problem disappeared with a nozzle clean but over a short time even
when the printer was sitting idle the yellow turned grey again. I have
changed both yellow and black tanks (compatible cartridges) to no avail.
I wonder if anyone can advise me whether this could be a problem with
the printer rather than the ink tanks or if there is some way I can cure
it.

Many thanks

Mary

The advice you got on steve's fourms if pretty sound... contact canon.
I haven't had canons long enought to be great at trouble shooting but
the following seems likely

*1. Bad seals between the ink-tank and the printhead assembly. Either
replace the seals if it's possible or get a new printhead. Should be
under warranty
2. Bad ink-tank, the port to the head has a flaw and is bleeding over
to the other tanks. resolustion replace your ink, try a different
brand... ask over at
http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=12 about particulars
also might wish to ask the people who you bought the ink from... this
could be a symptom others experenced and might have a resoltuion...
probally returning what you bought in favor of something new.
3. Leaky tanks that dripped a small amount of black ink ink "near" the
yellow intake port Resolution... remove and clean with index.

Sounds like there is cross colour at the printhead. Suggest you get it repaired
under warranty, some warranty service people may be loath to touch it if there
are non-OEM ink cartridges in the printer so be warned. (Please no OEM versus
non-OEM debates from any lurking zealot, non-OEM ink cannot cause cross colour
at the head!!!).
Good luck

Thank you both, this morning I rang Canon and it seems they accept it is
a printhead problem, so I have to email off my receipt etc to them and
they will send me a new printhead.

(I've done dozens and dozens of cleaning cycles over the past week or
so, at least having had compatible cartridges in has been a lot cheaper
on ink than if I'd had the originals!)
I checked on the cost of the large black Canon original ink cartridge
this morning in PCWorld, it was GBP 10.99, whereas the printrite one is
less than GBP2, this does not encourage one to buy originals I'm afraid
for general printing jobs.
(I remembered Steve's forums from about 4 years ago when I was looking
for info before buying my digital camera, a great resource for printer
info also!)

Thanks again for all the useful information, I did email the ink
supplier but have heard nothing back yet.

best wishes

Mary

Pleased to hear that Mary, I can't see how it could be anything other than a
printhead failure.
Let us know how you get on.

This is not a medium issue. Could be the vessle, i.e. the tanks, but
odds are and canon agrees it's the head, or specificly the seals on the
head.

Let's do the math again shall we? We established before that using a
premium refill kit not only save 21% from the start but after using 2oz
of ink you saved 78% vs OEM ink.. In other words.. *ALL USERS* not just
heavy ones save. This is a fact.

As we are dealing with a UK user the numbers are going to be different.
In fact.. a replacement head for UK users isn't the same price as the
printer. This is good and bad for much the same reason.

IP 5000 £157.95 - note this price is a tad high... but given i'm 1/3
the way cross the planet I can't pop in the local shop and see true
street price. But I know for a fact you can buy a printer at that
price including VAT. They spend more than us Yanks, but they do get
the cd printing and nice spiffy auto swiching power supplies.
£135.99 Is probally closer to reality, but I don't know if that price
includes VAT.

The ink... £7.59 for BCI6 CMYpK sounds fair £30.36 sounds
reasonable.
BCI-3e £9.99

Assuming these prices quoted include vat, they definatly include free
delivery £40.35. This reperesents about 1/4 to 1/3 the value of the
printer.

The canon head... I don't know where to get that in the UK, so $90 us
for Mr. 0057. £50.00 soudns fair to me.

http://www.compatible-inkjet-cartridges.co.uk/section.php/454/0/390a4cfef6b0450daa61d5c8ee182768

Prices here are just some random dealer I stumbled upon.

£4.99 for the black and £3.98 for the color. so £20.91 delivered
including VAT.
£40.35 - £20.91 = £19.44 save 48%

Assuming the value of the head is £50.00 and you use three refills and
have to buy a new head... you save £8.32

Assuming the value of the head is £50.00, and use of the 3rd party ink
reduces the life of the canon head from the estiamted 20 refills to
10... you save £194.40 total so a £50.00 head or heck even a new
printer would cost less.

If you print to the estimated life of the head, you saved £388.80.


So while it's *possible* that 3rd party ink might affect your head life
(better, worse, neglable)... I gotta say given these numbers if you
make it passed 3 replacement tanks (i.e. 15 tanks)... you save money no
matter what. This is a fact.. and I didn't shop around to find a great
deal.

First we need to know if you ARE and have ALWAYS use Canon OEM ink in
the printer.

SOUNDS LIKE AFTERMARKET INK MAKES YOU PRINTER STINK. CALL CANON
SUPPORT. THEY ARE VERY GOOD. THEY WILL PROBABLY SEND YOU A NEW
PRINTHEAD. IF YOU DID USE AFTERMARKET INK DO NOT TELL THEM. SAY YOU
ALWAYS USED THE RIGHT INK.

AFTER YOU GET THE NEW PRINTHEAD BE SURE TO GET A SET OF CANON OEM INK.
COSTCO IS THE CHEAPEST PLACE I KNOW OF. IF IT ALL WORKS OK NEVER BUY
AFTERMARKET INK AGAIN.

> Don't believe a word he says.

Agreed... I thought I offered pretty good proof that all users save
money using bulk inks.. yet he continues to ignore that fact. He
continues to say only heavy users benifit.

The problem is i'm just as skeptical as our resident canon
represnative. I'm willing to believe that use of 3rd party inks in a
thermal bubble jet will affect the print head life. This is a valid
enough hypothesis. But in all sceneros... when the cost savings is 50%
or higher... even if the reduction in life is 1/6th the head life... it
still costs less. This would cover the compatable market.

There might be a good reason to go with OEM, but I don't see price
being a factor at all.

Don't believe a word any of us say. Assume we are all a bunch of
lunatics.

Trust your own observation and reasoning skills... make your own
judgements.

> More rhetoric

No sir.. .facts.

With all due respect... your elaborate attempts to persuade everyone
into beliving that OEM inks will resolve any issue under the sun are
factually vacuous, questionable in reason, and insincere to the 10th
degree. This is the very defination of rhetoric. I'm not a member of
either the church of the aftermarket inks or the Orthodox Church of the
OEM. I offered pretty conclusive proof that the in cost is lower, the
long term cost is lower, yet you still ignore proven facts and continue
with your rhetoric

You claim that "Unless you are a very heavy user, and I mean very
heavy, it is not work(sic)
using aftermarket inks or cartridges as they will cause printhead
problems sooner or later".

Funny thing is... you'll get printhead problems sooner or later anyway.
The canon printhead... thermal bubblejet... is on the low end of the
scale in terms of life. The printer is only rated for a max duty cycle
of 20,000p, or about 20 tank changes. Thermal heads burn out.. that's
a fact.

Assuming your assertion of worth is money.. it's worth it. Assuming
your assertion of worth is time..... you *might* have a valid point
your your self but not for others... and I mean might. What you would
need to do is back up this hypothesis with a fact. How do particular
inks affect printhead life... what is that affect. Keep in mind that a
1/6th reduction in printhead life... as in if you are only able to
print 1600 pages color and black and white... without buying a new
print head... guess what... it's worth it in terms of money. Let the
individual deside if they think it's worth it.

Your hypothesis regarding the ink is not invalid, but needs to be
tested to become even a theory. I will freely admit I don't know the
affect of particular ink on the canon head. This is not a matter i've
seen any facts on. I would welcome any actual information you have on
the subject of different mediums on the canon printhead.

Well no sooner said than done, rang Canon this morning and emailed my
nozzle check pictures and receipt, had a reply that my new print head
would arrive by courier tomorrow. I hope I find out whether it is the
inks or the print head, will avoid that particular brand of compatible
cartridge if it is them.

Thanks a lot for the interest

best wishes

Mary

Hi, I have expanded on this in my other posts, but I admit that when
the Canon Cartridges ran out I replaced them with compatibles, but if
the problem is with them rather than the print head, then I will not
buy that brand again and try Printrite, I know the Canon OEM are the
best way to go but they are so much dearer, will check out Costco though
thanks and buy them there if they are affordable.
The lady on the helpline did say immediately that it was a print head
problem when I described it though.

best wishes

inkystinkys advice is based on hearsay only. He has not tried any of the
inks he disparages, he has made no mistakes (and has learned nothing),
but he sure has blown a lot of $$ on overpriced Canon cartridges.

Refilling with a good brand of ink (and several good ones are available,
complete with brand name, batch #, etc.) He isn't aware of this, because
he has never tried any of them. He is a professional naysayer with no
experience, and the manners of a pig.

Unless you are a very heavy user, and I mean very heavy, it is not work
using aftermarket inks or cartridges as they will cause printhead
problems sooner or later. I suggest under normal use Canon OEM Carts.
I have an IP4000, same printer but with a larger droplet size and I have
never had a problem in 10 months of any kind. I have only used OEM
Canon inks.

I suggest you be very careful when reading Measekite's posts. He believes that
all head related problems are caused by non-OEM inks, there is no evidence to
support that. Yes you must select good brands of ink whether OEM or not and I
strongly recommend you do not use generic inks, only those that are specificall
designed for your printer (not just Canon) and there are many good makes that
are. The symptoms you described fit a head failure perfectly and clearly Canon
agrees, it is most unlikely that it is an ink or cartridge design problem since
that would exhibit other symptoms.
Measekite will probably yell again and may even become abusive since that is
his way, I suspect he thinks that non-OEM inks caused the Bird Flu virus and
are the root cause of poverty in the world...A kill filter would be a good idea.
Best wishes
Tony

Tony's right Mary. I use only after market inks in my i9900 without any
problems at all.
Measekite is probably the most disgusting person to ever post on any
news group. He lies about after market inks and he has never ever
actually used after market inks and we all believe that he really is
paid by canon to post on this ng.
Don't believe a word he says.

Do not listen to Tony Da Tiger. He is in the printer business and makes
his money from this kind of stuff. He will admit it when pressed but
then tries to minimize the fact by telling you bullshit. Call him out
on this. Soon you will see that there is a club within this NG and they
all preach the same stuff. Too bad there are so many people having
printer problems many of which are caused by advice by this aftermarket
club.

Here comes the qualifier. Just like Microsoft telling you they are not
aware your problem is a bug and then a couple of months later they issue
a fix and tell you it is critical to put it on.

I do think that aftermarket inks put money in your pocket. How many
repairs do you make from this?

Don't believe a word he says. He is a member of the aftermarket club.
As a matter of fact he is the Vice President.

Yes, using a self refill kit... my cost for the color inks is £1.60
and the big black is £2.67 on average taking into account the
refillable tanks in the kit cost £2.21 each... the bulk ink after
that costs me less than £1.56 - big black £0.94 color and small
black. But hey if you can actually find prefills for £2.00/per great.
So £40.00ish vs £10.00ish. Sounds like to me if you make it past 2
refills (10 tanks) and your still printing, even if you must get
another head you are still ahead.. assuming the head price is the same
cross the pond.

Do keep in mind that some of the cheaper solutions may be as light fast
as others... though canon was never known for this in their ink in the
first place. If your putting things on display it might help to do
some homework on other users who have at least done a windowseat test.
But on the other hand... given the fact that i'm spending round and
abouts of 2 pounds for my tanks and ink... and i'm pretty pleased so
far with it's quality and lightfastness... it's reasonable to assume
that 2 pound solutions could be decent.

Lyson i've heard is excelent but tends to cost as much as Canon OEM...
but are reported to be lightfast for 25years or so under normal display
condtions under glass. Not great but better than canon. Based in the
UK IIRC.

Cartridge World I don't know what ink they carry.

This is my limit of what I know about the UK market.

But if what you are using makes you happy.... go with it. Nothing
worse than a network full of jarheads that are trying to make
assumotions what you needs.are. While i would reccomend visiting
http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=12 and asking about
the options.. I doubt you can find anything priced lower than you
already found.

Except pigs don't spam an NG with the same old same old, followed up by
adolescent name calling. Actually, it's more like a six year old's
"manners".

Now that most of us have him killfiled, I look forward to the day when
no one, esp. myself, ever feels a need to even mention him.
