IP5000 Advice Required

[davy]

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Inkjets if not used will 'clog up'.

If not used for a period of time, obviously one should print say a
small picture or a small test pattern using all the printers
colour's to prevent clogging.

How often should this be, every 2 or 3 days say, could it be a touch
longer?

Not easy to say I know, and can well understand different makes,
different models even will have their own 'quirks'.

I 'tossed' the C62 an planning on getting the pixma 5000 and want want
to avoid the 'Epson Syndrome' which I doubt I will catch with a
Canon.

You can relax. I have the iP5000 and it never clogs or requires head
cleans, and I don't even use OEM ink. In fact, I haven't even registered
it yet and I've had it since Christmas. I guess that shows that I'm not
exactly worried it will shortly die on me.

My heavier load printer is the i860 which I use for everyday documents,
manuals and not that important photos and lesser special projects. My
highest quality work is reserved for the iP5000. If the printhead goes
on either printer I can get a new one from eBay for around $55 (US).

If I have nothing special planned for the iP5000 one week, I'll just
print a shopping list (in color) or something, just to keep it happy.
Printers do get jealous when ignored. I'm sure you can go weeks without
printing anything before it may or may not clog. But it doesn't hurt
to print a little document once a week to be on the safe side. You
certainly won't be disappointed with the iP5000.

Many thanks to you both

It's just that I was caught with the 'Woe of Epson' and got so use to
doing a daily print.

Now I can relax, hope to have the ip5000 shortly.

"I'm so fearful..... I have to put a lock and key on the dustbin lid -
to stop the Epson from creeping out and coming back"....Lol....

I haven't experienced problems with clogging on any of my Canon inkjets.
Some of them have been left unused for extended periods and they print just
fine. Years ago, I did have a problem with an HP720C. If it wasn't used at
least every few days the print cartridges clogged pretty bad. After buying
several replacement cartridges, I gave up on that one and went with a
Lexmark 5700 which never clogged. It just had such short cartridge life that
it was not economically practical to use. Since 2000 it's been Canon all the
way. No clogging and since I refill, virtually no ink costs.

Things ARE certainly looking up, the Epson I had just loved to clog,
my guess it would get used every 2 or 3 day's.

So looks like we've cured the 'Curse of Epson', thanks for info.

I've never had a clog with Canon. When I replaced my i850 with the IP5000 I
was going to keep the i850 for a back up. As this 'back up' would probably
end up never being used I emailed canon asking the best way to store it.
They replied saying that if the printer was not going to be used for a long
period they recommended printing a test pattern once every two weeks.

Having said that, on occasions I haven't printer anything for more than two
weeks and have never had a clog.

If you had a clogging problem in a few days it was probably due to a failure of
the printer to properly cap. Your printer probably needed service, this is
certainly not the normal behavior. Typically a DeskJet 720 would be able to
sit for months and start up with out clogging.

In all fairness, every printer mfgr and each of their models has inherent
weaknesses and strengths. for the best information on Canon
printers/inks/papers - go to http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/ and also
follow the link on that site to Neil Slade's site and read all of his
sections. We only have one totally loose canon on this site and he will
undoubtedly follow this post with name calling and his usual misinformation.
Best to disregard him and not bother to respond, except to correct his
biased, defamatory posts.

Davy say's
Yes it was a low end printer, and no it was'nt subject to heavy work
load, and no I did not want nor expect top quality prints from it.

But if people make comments don't you think they should give facts.

Then welcome to the Canon Syndrome which will
give you a whole new set of
problems. you like to quote but where are the
FACTS, maybe you will now say what problems are to be expected from
the Canons.

I am not interested what you did or did'nt do in court nor what you
had for breakfast but you only quoted what I had said with half a
sentance that you added which carried very little detail.

I am very sure if you knew, than you would have come out with the
facts, instead of half a sentance.

NOW THAT IS A LOOSE CANON

How many canon's did you replace? I'm asking because i did refill my old
i550 and head died after 18 months - not clogged, but inks begin to mix...
Now i have ip4000 and i'm hesitating about refilling again...currently i
bought Pelikan carts, which are half price of canon's but still...
in my country there's only one real ink supplier (well, i could buy cheeeeap
ones in a supermarket, but i never did), ink seems good, and also in a
period of 18 months printer printed perfectly, but i'm still hesitating...

Sleeper - for more information about Canon printers, head maintenance, and
inks, go to the following link -
http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/ and also follow the link to Neil Slade's
site. Lots of great information regarding maintenance, prevention of head
clogs, and a great deal of shared knowledge about various inks in the
marketplace.

You said it - "supplier" not a manufacturer/formulator selling you
unnammed UNBRANDED ink. You do not know what you are getting nor is

I haven't replaced any up to this point. I've given the s820's and i950 to
both of my daughters. The s820's don't get the usage they formerly had, but
they are still running ok and the i950 still does a lot of photos. My iP4000
does most of the work now. I still have an old BJC-3000 that I'm tempted to
fire up again just to see if it's still alive. I've also got a new iP1500
that came as a freebie with a computer purchase a few weeks ago. If I can
ever get my office cleaned up and a little room for another printer, I'll
see what it can do. As to the 18 month longevity of the print head, there
have been several threads in the past discussing the limited lifespan of
Canon print heads. The discussions centered around the fact that it didn't
seem to matter how much printing or what ink was used (OEM or 3rd party),
they all seemed to fail after a certain period of time. Check out a thread
on www.nifty-stuff.com It describes what you are referring to and the cause.
The OP even went so far as to disassemble a print head and (I think)
reassembled it and it worked ok.

I still have the 720c on a shelf. Is the failure to cap a difficult or
costly repair? If it could be fixed (cheap), I'd be willing to donate it to
a charity or non-profit org. I sure don't need it sitting around here taking
up space.

Pardon me, you did say syndrome, BUT WHAT syndrome ?

Syndrome =
A pattern of behaviour, a pattern of events, a characteristic of some
problem or condition.

Fine, you go and do your own research and don't expect others to give you a
short cut. As it happens I don't think I mentioned what I hove for
breakfast, As I said, Welcome to the Canon syndrome, it don't take a
Einstein to work it out. My reply gave you the exact amount of detail that
I wished to share with you without giving you hearsay, you know Joe said
this, Fred said that, and left out any variables as to why this happened to
them like did they cause the problem, was the item faulty when purchased,
90% of the problems in this group are self inflicted. so really you are back
to doing your own in depth research and the only reason I mentioned the
courts is because even when researched well a poor choice in printer can
still be made, but that seems to deep for your understanding. However lets
hope you are able to make the right choice this time but I have doubts, I
think you will be back in this group within a short time of purchase, that's
the nature of the beast, and in that I refer to printers and not you.

I have yet to see an Epson head damaged by air bubbles. An air lock
can
cause the ink not to flow until it is corrected, however, although
rare
since most of the time the purging process will remove the air
bubble.

Davy say's
Sorry Arthur
I did not say air bubble damages heads Epson said it, would you like
me to E- mail you the letter?



And whilst on subject.
I did not say "you must never ever do a nozzle clean more than 6 times
or heads will be damaged". Epson technical said it, but
unfortunately you will have to take my word as this was on the
telephone.!

No problem with your comment's at all Arthur
Yes conjecture is the very word, but to end I never wanted a super
dooper singin', dancin' printer, all I wanted was a general purpose
printer that worked

and in this day and age it ought not to be an impossibliity now should
it, simply if it is'nt going to be reliable then it should not have
been put on the market.

Yes we do live in a throw away society, shame, but we do and the
reason is things are massed produced.

Really....! all I hear is a cheap printer - low end not gonna last
long, bottom of the range. I bought a Samsung laser printer ML1510
about £48 uk. and its still going strong after 3 toner refills with
the original toner tank drum, sure does beat the hell out of a C62.

But to have two items break down in the same way, in the same time
leaves a lot to be desired and once more Epson are not even
concerend.

It will be a long time before I trust that brand again.

Davy.

Hey Shooter, this clowns mommy bought him a Canon ip5000 (which he still
sleeps with) and now he thinks all things Canon is the only way to go.
He doesn't have a clue about printers or cameras or for that matter,
life itself.
I suggest you kill file his useless ass if you haven't already.

It wastes ink and you forgot it was in overdrive----------Davy said
that


head cleans in a row as you feel like doing....wouldn't that be
classed as
negligent on Epson's

Artie Fartie thinks he is a know it all. Him and the pious one think
they know everything. Cut from the same cloth.
