My issue I think wasn't so much that I didn't print often enough, but I printed photos and I don't think my old bci-3ebk got cleaned. I replaced the heads on my mp760 twice when I was running OEM ink, once under warranty. On canon, a printhead will run you $50, if you print using two sets of aftermarket cartridges odds are good that you'll save $50.
From: Arthur Entlich on 16 Nov 2008 22:33 Where did your tech look for the ink. Most inkjet printers have a series of pads near their base (often under the printer mechanism), which hold "waste ink". It can be delivered via a tube or via dripping down, etc. Obviously, the ink has to be going somewhere, and I expect that's where it is. It may begin to leak out the bottom if this continues. Most of the time ink leaks because the cartridge is not functioning properly due to a hole in the wrong place, or a broken seal, or a stopper not properly sealed, or the cartridge not sealing properly on installation around the head carriage parts and so forth. Are these refilled cartridges or new original Canon cartridge (that could get very expensive).

From: Arthur Entlich on 16 Nov 2008 22:59 I just found your original posting here. As you sure the ink cartridges are empty when you remove them, or is the printer just stating they are empty? It would seem to me that if 6 large black ink cartridges have emptied into the printer: 1: it would be leaking in out the bottom or soon will 2: The cost of 6 large black OEM ink cartridge are more valuable than replacing the printer. Although I am not big on replacing printers which can be replaced, if the printer is having that extreme an issue, and is likely to start now leaking ink out the bottom, it might be time to replace it.

From: Arthur Entlich on 16 Nov 2008 23:03 The OP seems to imply these are Canon original inks and cartridges, but perhaps they aren't. How many pages did you print until the previous printers were "ruined" by 3rd party inks. What brands of inks provided the problems with those printers? How many pages has the 850i had through it so far?

It's pure, unadulterated *BULLSHIT* that compatible after market ink will ruin any print head. |
