Life has gotten in the way of my making serious use of my Pro-10 printer for a while. Earning a living really interferes with taking photos! At any rate, I was planning on getting some photos prints made, and after several run throughs with cleaning and deep cleaning, several colors simply weren't coming through. At that point, I figured I would grit my teeth and just replace the entirety of the ink cartridges. Did that, and found out that the same four colors were not printing. Called Canon tech support, and went through a couple of step, but no joy. The same four colors are still not showing up.
The questions that come to mind at this point are:
1. Replace the print head? Extremely simple, but roughly $180 or so. No guarantee that this will work. Am considering a lengthy soak of the existing print head in alcohol or non-ammonia cleaner of some sort.
2. Grit my teeth further and buy a replacement Pro-10, which has a rebate program going now, roughly $250 or so. Even so, that would buy a LOT of film........
3. Alternative printer?
I'm not looking to print anything extremely large. The biggest I've ever gone was about 13x17 or so.
Am interested in some sort of feedback on this.
Thanks,
Ed
