Clogged Black on i560

I tried solvents, new black cartridges,
air blasts, and even contacted Canon. Their
stupid answer was make sure the cartridge
has ink. It was buy a new print head or
a new printer...WRONG...a pot with 1 inch of
very hot water cleared the clogged print head
in a couple of minutes. It was amazing how
fast that water turned solid black. A couple
of swishes, a little air blast, and that sucker
works perfect.

Marc - you might be interested in going onto the forum at
http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/ and also clicking the Neil Slade link at
the top of the nifty-stuff home page. Good info about printer maintenance,
ink, paper, etc.

The information is informative but it is slanted and heavily skewed
toward AfterMarket inks by hobbists who use and promote that kind of
stuff; including fotofreak.

The majority of printer users who happen to use OEM ink in their printer
usually do not frequent those sites or this NG and have far less
problems than those you read about here.

If Measekite had an open mind (or any mind at all) he would learn a lot on
the Nifty-stuff and Neil Slade sites and realize that the people who
contribute most to it have great investigative abilities, engineering or
scientific backgrounds, and a sincere desire to share information and help
newbies and long time printer users alike. Far from being hobbiests,
several of them use printers in their businesses with heavy printing loads,
some have businesses doing refilling of carts and share their experience,
and some are just having a hell of a good time printing tons of stuff in
color because the non-OEM inks cost about a tenth of what Canon inks cost
and they don't even have to think about the cost of ten or a hundred 8x10's
more or less. Measekite, if you had respect for other people's experience
and opinions and stopped being so effing critical you would be regarded as
any other contributor on this NG instead of being known as the resident Pain
in the Ass.

It is only you guess that most OEM ink users don't have problems and don't
come onto this NG. My guess is that the majority of computer users don't
know anything about any of the NG's and suffer through hardware and software
problems without the benefit of this whole community of people who
generously give of their time to help others. My guess is that most people
use OEM inks and when they have head clogs that won't clear with the printer
driver cleaning cycles they toss the printers and buy new ones. Too bad
they didn't read the Nifty-stuff and Neil Slade sites or get Arthur
Entlich's instructions as they would still be using the printers they could
have easily repaired. You do a great disservice to people who could be
helped by reading these sites when you criticize them as you do.

Not so.

They spend a third of their time printing, a third of their time
unclogging their printer and the rest writing about all of the headaches
they have attempted to overcome. And then there is people like you who
try to convince new readers to do the same thing when their printload
does not justify it.

Measekite, The lying , biased lowlife that he is, continues his rant in the
face of my attempt to help people on this NG. No proof of anything he
states in his incessant rants and obnoxious posts.

A newsgroup with SPAM appeal is what it is

Now that is complete ******** from start to finish. OEM inks clog in
exactly the same way as third party ink., Infact some third party makers add
a slightly higher volume of cleaner in their carts to help prevent clogging.

Shooter, I wouldn't waste my time trying to wise up this asshole who
calls himself "meser****". We all know he's nothing but a ****ing jerk
off looser that has turned himself into a real creep by changing the
postings of others. He has but one printer that his mommy bought for him
and he always sleeps with it. In his sick little mind this makes him an
expert on all printers and ink. He has no education to speak of as
evidenced by his continual misspelling and misuse of English words and
phrases. He can only use childish responses when he is cornered and
caught in his many lies and posting of misinformation.
Yet he is the ultimate looser as he only cheats himself out of his own
self respect and dishonors his person by his outrageously vile and
dehumanizing replies.
He very much needs psychiatric help, but is afraid to admit it.
Or else he refuses to take his meds.

Shooter, I have to admit that I have been an asshole to Measekite. I
guess I am a ****ing jerk off looser.
I very much needs psychiatric help, but am afraid to admit it.
