Re: Anatomy of a Canon print head

It appears that none of the nozzles are clogged. You've already taken one step in isolating the problem beyond clogged nozzles and that is to try another print head. Another step if possible is to try your two print heads in another printer. It doesn't have to be an iP4000, it could be one of the all-in-ones like an MP780. Another thing you could try is some different cartridges, especially Canon OEM. Good luck.


Canon MX700, MP760, MP780, iP4000, iP4000R, iP6000D, i9100, i860 printers.
I used to vacuum fill Canon cartridges with Inktec ink but I have converted to the German method. It's so much quicker, easier and cleaner.

Re: Anatomy of a Canon print head

Many thanks.

That solved it. All I did was change the magenta cartridge and the cyan took care if itself for some reason!
Why didn't I think of that before?

buckshaw,... Just use any photo ediing software, such as Office Picture Manager to enhance the image.   It doesn't matter what happens to the color, just so the image is increased in contrast.    Use the MId tone adjustment in Picture Manager to modify the image and then post that on this thread.
