canon i950 print head Clean??
Has anyone found a way to clear the one of the plugged up colors on
this print head, Canon i950? I am going through my bimonthly head clogging, photo Cyan this time. Went through the whole battery of head cleanings to no avail, called Canon and performed their recommends, making things much worse, banding much worse, Photo cyan still plugged up good. So, the good part is they are sending out a replacement head again, but in two months, this thing is out of warranty...then it will be, buy a new head, or a new printer. This is my second printer of this model, so I know it is a problem with it.... Thanks, Mike |

Thanks, Mike Did you ask in the one of stores, which sells refill inks - they usually have cleaning solution, then you soak the head in it (hope it helps). |

I've seen some posts that link overheating with clogging. Actually when I received my first print head, I was printing everyday maybe 35 photos...then it eased back to a few a day, and I hadn't used it every day the last couple weeks, but at least every other day. I think a combination of the hot weather here and the nature of this beast are the reasons, it's exactly what happened to the print head prior to this one...so I'll probably go ahead and buy an i960 when this next new print head dumps...I havn't heard Epson's are any better,and when the printer is working, it's great. Excepting the lack of any archival inks being available, hopefully Canon will get with the program on this soon. Will pursue the soaking method if possible... Thanks.. Mike |
