Cleaning ink pad on a Canon
I have a Canon Pixma ip4950 inkjet and I was wondering if anyone knew of
a source of information on how to remove and clean out and put back the ink absorber pad? Also do you need to reset the printer to get it working again after you have done this, and if so how is that done? My printer has not yet told me the pad is full, but I am thinking ahead to when it does, so I can get straight on with fixing it. I mostly print CD/DVD disks with it, which results in rather a lot of what sounds like cleaning cycles, which suggests it will get to the "pad full" stage sooner than most people! |

Brian, if you find out, please post the info back here. Same issue with MP190. I'll do the same. |

I've used ammoniated window cleaner (aka Windex) to clean the pads od both dye and pigment based Epson printers (BJC-610 and R800). |

Cleaning ink pad on a Canon
I think you are waisting your time looking for this solution.
Why? Becuse life spam of Canon printheads is cca 5000 prints. And the new printhead cost almost as a new printer. Next thing these printers are assembled by robot manufastoring line. And absorber pad is firs stome in that chane. So you need to diassemmble this printer to that stone and reassemble it. Just count what chance you have tobrocke something. Loose some part or put it together wrong. Once again you are waisting your time. You can just reset it and thi is it. -- Pozdrav Adriatic http://adriatix.hr/ http://www.facebook.com/branimir.zagreb "Brian" wrote in message ...

I saw that somewhere also, and went through the steps to reset it. After resetting, it comes up with the error on the next print cycle. Evidently there must be a sensor somewhere that closes a circuit when the ink level gets high enough. Maybe not -- but in any case resetting doesn't solve the problem. Need to clean the absorber or the ink will run out onto the table. |

Good points, but the choice is to try and fix it or throw it away. When I have time I'll take the printer apart and post whatever happens. I would love to have a new printer like this one, but there are not any. The newer ones have 50 million keys to punch or menus to deal with. I just want a plain old printer like MP190 that prints when I say print and does not give me any projects to do. |

Than take this one
http://www.google.com/translate?hl=e...B%2520CISS.htm You can reset it easy. You have panty of tools for that. Just put a dipers under it when it strat to drip When printing result is pure just buy a new printhead in every shop for few buks. And the whole set up cost you cca $110 ready to print 2000 pages. And new refil ink 4* 50 ml for the same 200 pages cost you near $20. "Guv Bob" wrote in message m... "adriatic" wrote in message ... I think you are waisting your time looking for this solution. Why?

If it's a counter, then the reset instructions I got are not working. When the print head goes out, the printer goes in the trash. I had a iP1600 and it was great. I have tried HP, Samsung and Lexmark over the years and always go back to Canon. I bought a quart of black ink 5 years ago for $15 from a Canadian company - don't remember the name - but I am still using it. "Guv Bob" wrote in message m... "adriatic" wrote in message ...

No there is no sensor.
Just counter. Very easy to reset. And it is not neccesary to replace absorber after first reset. Just for your refference here is our CISS instalation on iP 1600 http://www.google.com/translate?hl=e....htm&sandbox=1 "Guv Bob" wrote in message m... "adriatic" wrote in message ...
