From: Amy Moore on 15 Nov 2008 10:39 We are using the Canon i860 desktop color printer. This printer comes with 5 color ink cartridges. Last few months, after we installed new Canon 3e - the large black ink cartridge, ink will be empty within few hours, even without printing anything. So far, we went through 6 new ink cartridges. We also clean and replaced the print head assembly (we purchased 2 new printer heads) with the same result. Any one out there has the same experiences and how to fix this problem? Thank you.

What can I say? I have found that non-Canon ink will ruin my inkjet printer. I have used several Canon inkjet printers over the years -- 600, 620, now i850. Non-Canon ink caused blocked print heads; they could not be unblocked. The i850 has never experienced non-Canon ink. Genuine Canon ink cartridges can be found on eBay at very low prices. Why? I do not know, but I suspect stockroom losses at various businesses. That is none of my business. I print a lot of pages with photos embedded in the text. Probably 10K a year, so cost per page is an important consideration. GFH |
