oleh jonregester (7/8/07 1:56 AM) reply + / -I haven't had my canon ip4300 panjang, dan mungkin hanya di set kedua inks. Saya menggunakan canon jet tec kompatibel cartridges dan kembali menggunakan chip dari originals sesuai petunjuk. Saya baru-baru ini Cyan kehabisan jadi saya beli yang baru tapi ketika saya meletakkannya di printer saya mendapat pesan kesalahan yang menyatakan tank coouldn't akan diakui. Jadi saya beli yang lain berpikir mungkin faulty cartridge lagi tetapi hal yang sama terjadi. Saya telah dibersihkan dengan cairan pembersih kontak dengan saya juga dihapus printer kemudian ia kembali diinstal. Saya telah menjalankan beberapa siklus pembersihan. Am I missing something here? Any help appreciated Thanks in advance

Bak tinta yang tidak dirancang untuk memiliki keripik disingkirkan dan ditempatkan pada bak tinta bajak laut, dan apa yang mereka! Jadi jika Anda memiliki masalah karena beralih kaya, tidak akan mencari cara baru untuk merusak printer karena Anda dan Anda akan menyalahkan Canon. Setelah pasar inks yang berbasis air! Canons yang berbasis alkohol, alkohol yang membantu bersih dan kepala dingin cetak. Plus Anda memiliki cli8 inks yang baru bahkan ada yang lebih enhansement ke inks

Walaupun saya tidak memiliki masalah dengan mengubah keripik, printer kepala / jet di Cyan tampaknya telah diblokir. Saya bicara ke Canon rep minggu terakhir dan dia saja yang bermanfaat di jalan bundaran jenis. Dia sama sekali tidak menyebutkan bahwa air adalah compatibles berbasis inks (mereka semua?) Tetapi ia sugested beberapa orang menemukan bahwa ia bermanfaat bagi alternatif asli dan kompatibel cartridges. Dia mengatakan bahwa Pixma ip4300 harus baik selama 3 tahun dan mengatakan bahwa kami usaha kecil throughput dari 2500 lembar A4 mencetak dari setiap 4 bulan atau jadi baik dalam kemampuan printer. Dia juga menyarankan agar kita dapat membeli asli Canon cartridges for about 3.70 - jauh lebih kecil dari kami untuk membayar yang asli. Ya, kami menemukan masalah, tetapi mereka adalah bahwa prangko kemudian membawa cartridges hingga normal semacam diskon harga sekitar 9 satu cartridge. Panjang dan pendek itu walaupun mungkin kita akan terus menggunakan kebanyakan kompatibel cartridges dan menerima bahwa kami harus membeli printer yang baru setiap 5 atau 6 bulan. Ia akan tetap lebih murah daripada berjalan di asli cartridges meskipun printer berlangsung 3 tahun. Saya mau hanya untuk memperbarui cetak kepala, tapi murah kami menemukan mereka adalah 67 - lebih dari satu printer yang baru datang dengan yang baru set cartridges. Saya tahu ini tidak akan banyak membantu meskipun jika Anda tinggal sedikit anggaran, namun dapat membantu seseorang.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Masalah dengan Canon ip4300 oleh BAB (7/17/07 8:28 AM) reply + / -Canon sangat liberal, sepanjang unit masih di bawah garansi, 1 tahun dari tanggal pembelian, Canon akan menggantikan mencetak kepala. Sebagai mereka yang belum, tidak ada yang dikecualikan mencetak kepala karena penggunaan aftermarket cartridges. Tetapi perbaikan dan penggantian gunung karena penggunaan aftermarket inks, mereka akhirnya void cetak tetapi sebagai kepala garansi dari namun mereka tidak! So you have 1 tahun, jangan berpikir tentang baterai dipasang 5 bulan karena bisa menjadi kepala cetak. Canon mungkin adalah Co termudah untuk bekerja dengan ketika datang ke garansi perbaikan.

Re: Re: Re: Masalah dengan Canon ip4300 oleh Anonymous (7/18/07 1:42 AM) reply + / -BAB Thanks for you reply. Setelah kami menganalisis penggunaan tinta saya sekarang condong untuk membayar lebih untuk asli cartridges di masa depan - yes akan biaya lebih (sekitar 120 setahun - Anda mungkin dapat mengubah dolar sebagai tanda untuk bekerja untuk banyak hal) tetapi digunakan untuk usaha kecil - kami mencetak sekitar 7.500 lembar A4 dari satu tahun. Bahkan dengan penggantian biaya printer dari kami mengenai 5.1pa lembar dicetak dengan sungguhsungguh dan 3.5p dengan cartridges compatibles - Saya berharap matematika susunan atas). Saya akan sangat setuju bahwa Canon mengembangkan produk yang akan digunakan dengan tinta yang telah dikembangkan. Hasil terbaru dengan printer yang unggul pasti kompatibel dengan hasil yang kami sebelumnya. Hanya untuk menjelaskan tentang Canon rep - dia menyatakan bahwa beberapa orang alternatif yang kompatibel dengan asli cartridges - dia tidak menunjukkan bahwa ia akan merekomendasikan. Saya dapat mencoba dan klaim garansi di bawah, tetapi saya harus jujur, saya merasa bersalah tepat. Tidak yakin tentang hasil - tentunya dengan mobil di Eropa adalah perundang-undangan seperti itu yang Anda tidak diizinkan untuk menggunakan agen untuk perbaikan tetap utuh garansi garasi tetapi harus tertentu dan ukuran finansial harus menggunakan komponen asli

faulty iP4300 tinta kesalahan (tinta asli) oleh Mark_H (7/25/07 5:53 PM) reply + / --

This is so frustrating - "Ink tank telah terjadi kesalahan" dimulai sebagai sebuah kesalahan tapi berselang hari ini telah meningkat sekarang untuk terus terjadi. Tetapi saya telah iP4300 asli asli Canon tinta dalam tangki yang masih terlihat penuh! I've had it hanya untuk waktu yang singkat dan hampir menggunakannya (99% dari pencetakan adalah pada laser B & W). Ketika membuka penutup iP4300 adalah cartridge kuning yang memiliki lampu mati, ketika saya bawa keluar tampak penuh kepada saya. Saya hanya bisa mendapatkan printer untuk bekerja dengan berulang kali mengambil kuning cartridge dan dalam, kemudian menonaktifkan diaktifkan, coba cetak lagi, sampai akhirnya ia bekerja. Tentunya berikutnya saya akan mencoba mengganti cartridge kuning dalam kasus yang cacat, namun ada saran lainnya?

Re: Masalah dengan Canon ip4300 oleh BAB (edited 7/26/07 10:01 AM) reply + / -Pertama mari kita menjelaskan tempat saya, I'm in Glenview, IL, Amerika Serikat. IP4300 yang kedua adalah tukar printer. Ketiga, tinta yang tangki situasi yang tidak biasa dan anda dapat melakukan pertukaran yang faulty OEM Canon dengan tinta tidak masalah AT ALL! Kelima, jangan merasa bersalah itu mengeluarkan perbaikan dari komunikasi, Canon menjamin seluruh unit berapapun mencetak kepala atau inks digunakan, OEM atau sebaliknya. Dan sejauh yang menangani hukum, Ya printer di bawah jaminan, dan mereka tidak dapat ya tidak berlaku untuk jaminan yang tidak menggunakan produk OEM Canon. No they don't have to kehormatan jaminan yang berhubungan dengan bak tinta atau mencetak kepala jika NON Canon bagian yang digunakan dan yang merupakan penyebab masalah. Canon tidak hormat pada jaminan untuk mencetak kepala bahkan dengan non OEM inks digunakan, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TOO! Satu hal yang mungkin check adalah untuk melihat di dalam gerbong rongga dan pastikan logam kontak yang menghubungi tangki tinta chip, tidak bungkuk. Aku berjalan ke dalam yang juga!

Mereka digunakan untuk memiliki pretty enlighted kebijakan subyek refilling ink tanks. Hanya untuk Rekam: Tidak ada hal seperti itu sebagai "bajakan" tinta cartridge. Tidak ada kekayaan intelektual telah dicuri, tidak ada bahan telah misappropriated. Satu-satunya tujuan chip adalah untuk memastikan bahwa Anda membeli lebih dari harga tinta dari pabrik dan yang tidak membuat anda Pirate. Hal ini menjadikan Anda pintar. Saya telah menggunakan tinta cartridges refilled tahun yang lain untuk model Canon printer tanpa chips dalam tangki dengan hasil yang baik anlthough ada belajar kurfa terlibat. Ada beberapa papan diskusi didedikasikan untuk bekerja di sekitar ini "memberikan yang memotong dan rob 'em buta pada blades" strategi pemasaran. Membaca beberapa sood saran untuk refilling. Jangan membeli apapun tentang nonsense refills voiding Anda garansi. Refills tentu tidak akan void garansi kecuali you've done something wrong dalam proses seperti membiarkan printer menjalankan kering (setidaknya di California dan selain itu, yang peduli, maka printer ini hampir gratis sekarang hari) Ingat guys sikap ini pada saat anda membeli printer Andy

They are following the instructions that came with the replacement cartridges and if this makes them "Pirates" then so be it - but a sensible person wouldnt see it that way. It would seem that others agree and I gave a link to that site earlier which questions the legality of whats being carried out by Canon. There are no "Pirates" here BAB - just people who want a choice....Get the message? No, you probably dont.

But if it FAILS like they have been doing, don't cry "Canon its your fault you make cheap stuff". Its not, be an adult an accept responsibility for what you have done. Thats whats worng with this country today. Its never your fault anymore, sue the manufacturer, its their fault you messed with their product. But again its not my job, I just fix them! And hey don't listen to any tech, we know nothing, do your own thing, but then don't ask for help either because you screwed it up. BAB Canon Authorized Tech

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by BAB (10/8/07 8:52 AM) reply + / I probably should add that the chips on the cli8's are more then counters and cannot be reset. What should happen is like for laser printers, HP and Brother and Lexmark to name a few, the after market people should come out with their own chips for the cli8 ink cartridges, not tell you to take Canon's, they aren't suppose to work once used. But if it was designed they way you think then you shouldn't be able to remove and reinstall an ink tank and have them work, but they do, so you all figure it out. I'm just here to repair defective and what you break. If thats demeaning, so be it! After all I was and have been through lots of training and certifications, and testing, but it doesn't really matter, not according to you all.

Re: Problem with Canon MX300 by BAB (11/23/07 7:56 AM) reply +1 + / Wow MX300 is a brand new unit, just released in September, ok now to your problem! Usually a

situation like yours was caused by having a jam and pulling out the paper to fast or from the wrong direction and you have probably bent the sensor arm (Plastic) in the paper path by the registration/feed roller, the black roller inside the unit that feeds the paper thru. Other possible cause is a jammed purge unit. Now in either case, that unit is a very inexpensive unit and Canon has it set up for instant exchange. So Call Canon tech support and if they can't arrange an exchange, take it to a local authorized service center and they will handle it. Depending on where your at, if Chicago area, take it to BECK'S CRS. They will get it exchanged in a couple of days. BAB Authorized Canon Tech

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by David Robinson (11/27/07 1:41 PM) reply + / Fascinating stuff, but not quite my problem. I live in Germany, bought a Canon IP 4300 just around a year ago. I haven't used it very much (Mac + PC) since then. Mainly for printing photos - private, little business use as yet. I'm now getting a printing error - ink tank error - and suddenly notice I'm also getting 15 orange flashes. I then discover the Cyan cartidge light is off. When I release it and press it down again, the light comes on and I try again. Then the procedure starts all over again, and I suppose it will continue ad infinitum , unless one of you wizards tell me why a cartridge should suiddenly become faulty... I've cleaned the contacts with acetone-free nail polish remover and everything looks OK. The dealer over here offers no service (!) and tells me to go to Canon...it's still under warranty. These are the original (now half-full) cartidges - all more or less at the same level - and everything's nice and clean. I've not anything spectacular, but the problem appeared without any warning. Before I simply replace the cartridge with a new one, which is what the Canon guide would have me do (and which may solve the problem, of course), is it really the cartridge? And if so, what? The chip, the metral contacts (nothing bent), the ink, the weather here in Germany, bird flu, or what? I'd appreciate a simple suggestion.

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by BAB (edited 11/27/07 3:44 PM) reply + / David: Your local Canon dealer should be in the know. Yes there is an occassional known issue with the chips on the new cli8 ink tanks and like you I have seen this more on the cyan then any other color, he should have offered to exchange it for you! Here in the States that what we are suppose to do, do a customer exchange on the ink tanks, Canon will fill us back in on exchanged tanks.

Anyway you shouldn't have a problem exchanging the tank with a authorized Canon shop, they are suppose to do it! And yes I have noticed here Christmas is on the way! In our shop we don't just say "Happy Holidays" we do it the old fashion way and say "Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year"! And at 5pm we also say "And this Millers for you"!

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by David Robinson (11/27/07 11:11 PM) reply + / If you introduced that kind of service over here, you'd probably make a fortune! They don't yet really understand the word, although it's bandied about all over the place. "The customer is king," they say - until you've bought the product. Then it's about "didn't you read the fine print?", or words to that effect. Anyway, I'll certainly let you know. I'll also try to contact the so-called regional office over here and open a can of worms, as you lot say!! No can of Millers in sight. To be honest though, the people are very pleasant here on Lace Constance - generally speaking. In Heidelberg, where we used to live, the "old fashioned way" never really caught on.

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 Paper feed Left side by Jayhawk (2/16/08 7:03 AM) reply + / Printer, my PIXMA iP4300 was working fine, then this morning I went to print an email and the paper feeder would not work. Specifically, the paper starts to feed but is pulled in only by the right side. So the paper starts gliding into the print area at an angle with only the right side making it and a line or two gets printed at that angle and the whole thing is jammed. I do not see any paper jam. I have feed sheet of paper after paper and get the same results. What's causing this misalignment and lack of paper feed on the left side? Thanks!

Paper feeding Problem by Jayhawk (2/18/08 1:18 PM) reply + / Ok, when I last wrote in I was having a problem with my paper feeding in on the left side.

I am now getting a message "Operator Error. Press the printers Resume button. If this doesn't clear the error, cancel printing and then turn the printer off and then on again." Pressing resume or restarting the printer does not eliminate the error. Initially, I was able to remove the error by removing the ink cartridges, taking out the cartridge holder, and reinserting it. I don't know why that initially fixed the problem, but now it doesn't help. I cannot correct the error message, by anything I try.

I refill the CAnon brand because they give you a gas gauge effect on while the printer is printing.

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by BAB (3/23/08 8:20 AM) reply + / Guess its time for a response! Refilling your canon ink tanks will eventually result in a failure of the print head. The generic formulation is different then Canons. And the base ingredient in the generic formula is water, while Canon's is Alcohol. Do we see a difference here, and the print heads have thermo sensors, if they over heat they will fail! hmmmmm, water, alcohol, who evaporates faster causing a rapid cooling effect. Also alcohol is an astringent, meaning it is also used as a cleaning agent, also leaving no residue, is water. The choice is yours guys but for the price of a cleaning head, I'd pay the extra couple of dollars to make them last longer, work better and be able to print at the 9600 x 2400 dpi they can print at.

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by dibika (5/27/08 1:57 AM) reply + / What a bunch of horsesh1t does Canon say to make people pay for their original cartridges! I read BAB saying its worth paying the extra "couple" of dollars to make them last longer...Damn, a "couple"? A "couple" it is when you work for Canon, if you buy them as an end user, "couple" is a funny word. Let me tell you. I previously owned a Canon i850 printer, used only originals (you know, the ones with alcohol,lol), until the printhead commited suicide, that was 14 months after I bought the printer. That was 2.5 years ago. The printhead itself was at a price which was more expensive than buying a new Pixma iP5200 then! No way I would pay for a new printhead for a much inferior printer, more than buying the new one. I guess Canon printheads must be made of extra fine gold. I purchased a Pixma iP5200 and since day 1, I am refilling cartridges and there has never been a

problem. I have never run a cleaning cycle with this printer. 2.5 years later its printing like new. Instead of giving people nothing more than lies, Canon should better concentrate in developing their ink quality and their printers, rather than constantly finding cheaper ink sources. Unlike what most people think, printers do maintain the same initial way they operate since they first hit the market. Lots of ink goes to the waste ink tank, ink you pay but never use. Printers run a cleaning cycle EVERYTIME you start them, although you never request for one, meaning they consume ink whether you like it or not. The overall printer's operation has not changed at all. Manufacturers just add electronical "goodies", like lcd displays, bluetooth, infra and all that kind of stuff, to the same device, so that they can sell it for more money. Printheads on the other hand are made that way to fail. If Canon can sell you a printer at $100 and in there contain the printer, the printhead AND a full set of cartridges, how is it possible that after the printhead itself costs more than the brand new printer with all the above in the box? The idea is simple. Give people cheap printers, then suck the money out of their wallet in consumables. That is the #1 reason why printer prices have reached the price range they are today, making them affordable for all of us. By the way, BAB, I have been working for Canon too, why dont you tell people how Canon uses the end users to test ink on their printers? Is this fair practice? Also, do me a favor and let people know the real cost for a printhead, the one it costs Canon, as well as the real cost of ink, which, by the way, comes from China, no different than anybody else...

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by BAB (5/27/08 8:15 AM) reply + / Well dibika sorry your wrong! That being said, Canon is moving its printer operations back to the Japan because of quality reasons. To many printers out of box not working and not working because of stupid stuff like they forgot to put the blotters in the purge unit, or encoder strips out of the box dirty and greasy, little stuff like that that we get paid to correct. Inks are totally different and Canons new cli8 inks and pgi9 inks are all archival. Meaning they should last over 100 years without fading, HP nor lexmark has that in their printers, only other co is Epson. As far as the customer testing inks, it like any other industry, it may pass at the factory when tested and designed, but once out in public hands and use, they find numberous correctable problems. Its happens in all industries, the automotive more then anyone else. BAB Authorized Canon Tech

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by dibika (5/28/08 2:14 AM) reply + / This ink that lasts "100 years" is one of the biggest marketing tricks in the industry and you know it as much as I do. I am 38 years old, if I use "100 year" lasting ink, are you telling me I will be actually able to see if what I paid for was worth, when I reach the age of...138? Nuh, not even an infant, with a laptop and a printer in hands, printing birth photos will be able to

tell. 100 years Canon, like others, says but when specific conditions apply. And these conditions are there to ensure the fact that ink will not last not even 10% of that time, when you see that with your own eyes, Canon or any brand will tell you that "the environment you kept them was humid, there was too much sun" and so on. These conditions secure the reliability of the brand name, or at least they attempt to... You said it yourself for the printers "pay the extra couple of dollars to make them last longer". Longer is a rather relative comment. Longer than they last, is not LONG, long is the amount of time the customer expects the product to last when he/she thinks of the money invested. Your statement above, confirms that printers will not last. According to you, if you refill then last very little time, while if you dont, they last longer. That is neither an acceptable answer for my standards, nor an assurance of durability-reliability. Finally, the matter of turning customers into test dummies. I saw no intention denying the fact but stating that this matter is common practice, does not excuse Canon, or any other "reliable" brand, at all...And of course you dont think that just because the automotive industry does that, it must be acceptable from customers, do you? Products are supposed to be efficient, reliable and trustworthy. If not, they do not deserve to compete in the market. What is left to be answered is 1. where does Canon get the ink. Someplace other than China? The importance of this question is that if it comes from China, then Canon pays less than $8 per liter of ink (and that is retail price, not the price Canon buys), making Canon's profit more than unacceptable and Canon more than greedy. 2. How do you explain the cost of the printheads, in regard of the cost of a brand new printer.

You being 60 and me being 38, doesnt make me or you smarter than the other side. More life experience yes, but that is all. This reminds me of people who say "I have a driver's licence for 50 years", which is completely irrelative to how many miles you have driven. You might have it for 50 and driven 1000 miles in total when somebody has it for 2 and has driven 10.000 miles. Who is more experienced driver in the end of the day. Working for Canon doesnt make you the guru of printers. I want to add that you are in need of Canon, being an employee of that company and making a living out of it, so your opinions on matters like these cannot be objective by default. On the other hand I am not in direct or indirect relation with Canon. In addition to that I am self employeed and not in any direct or indirect link with the printer-ink industry. So by definition, between the 2 of us, I am at least 1% more objective than you are. Lets face it, you are the employee, I am an independent professional. I disagree with the stated practice of multinational companies gaining unbelievable profit over simple people, at least the raw and uncontrolable way its done. Concentration of excess wealth eventually defines who is employed and who is unemployed, not the way you describe things. Just think, if Canon would make 20 percent less PROFIT in every cartridge, would Canon bankrupt? Or the rest of the world as you are implying? Employement and unemployement existed even before the world discovered corporations, that particular statement of yours is way below my 38 years of age...

Additionally, I dont care for the American government, or anything residing around it. I am not an American anyway, should I consider myself lucky or what? The documents you describe are not printed with Canon ink (now that is an egoistic statement coming from Canon, is that official?) and they are not printer with retail printers. . All these corporations have infiltrated so much our societies, have brainwashed people so much, have financed and supported so many governments that its natural you are having this kind of behaviour, being part of their system makes you feel you rule the world and I dont blame you for that.

HP charges us ASF's about $9 to sell for $14, but we really need to sell it for $18 to make a profit we can live on, so we do. But we pay HP $9, the same roller made by Canon and sold by Canon to their ASF's for the Canon LBP860 or the LBP1260, which are the same printer but with a Canon Name plate on it, cost $2.32 so who is the real gouger, and Canon's suggested ret is $6 and I bet you all love HP thinking they are an American co.

Its a very simple test we have done lots of times. The surface of the picture will be different using the different inks on the same paper. Plus we have proven that the water based inks burn out the print heads in Canon printers faster because one they do not help to cool the print head fast enough in constant use and they will plug up the print head faster in time and useage then the OEM.

I wonder what is the reason... About age and the rest, I am 38, I didnt use it to impress, if there would be a case I would do that, it would be with a woman, but I am married, so lets skip it. You dont know who is writing to you. Maybe I was doing the same thing you are, for a longer amount of time you already do. So dont make conclusions out of my age. Let me give you a case so that people will realize how Canon fools them, not that I am denying any other brand is honest... A government office sent a Canon inkjet printer to Canon, saying it would deny to print or accept any cartridge. Canon took the printer, upgraded the firmware, returned it, everything is fine. Me, myself, got the same printer, called Canon, they asked me to send the printer and pay for sending it (!!!) when printer was 4 months old, still covered by Canon warranty. The returned the printer saying there is nothing wrong with it. I resent the printer using legal means, they received it and came to the conclusion I was not using original cartridges. They said the cartridge I left in the printer has barcode on its sticker and that original Canon cartridges dont. I freaked, called Canon Headquarters in Europe, Netherlands that is, asked them if Canon produces these cartridges with barcodes on the sticker and if they believe they are original. They said, OF COURSE they are! I sent Canon in Netherlands a scan of the box, with the serial number on, they were able to track the cartridge and tell me even from what factory and where it came from, certifying it was a genuine Canon cartridge. Well, 2 different kinds of behaviour from Canon, since I am not the beloved government, let me suffer, right? Had to use a lawyer to get Canon to their senses, after threatening them, they offered a new printer (with new firmware), took back the old one, payed for my expenses sending it twice back and forth and also supplied me with half a dozen of new cartridges for "compensation".

If that is not FOOLING people, I dont know what is. You see, I do not sponsor the government. I do not contribute in the presidential race. Thats why I am "different". After all this, you want me to admit that Canon plays a fair game? NO WAY! Was I a special case? No. But I knew how to handle it. Most people dont, they end up buying a new printer, adding up to the sales of, possibly, Canon. You see, problems are there so they can all profit, you included. And I dont need to tell you that after all this, I cant possibly trust Canon and I doubt anybody can blame me. P.S. I have all kinds of documentation from the above case, if you want it, its at your disposal, you will just need a translator.

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by Depeche_Mode (6/6/08 1:00 PM) reply + / I've had pixma 4300, I run out of cyan while I printed 10 A4 format pictures. My printheat was damaged because of that. I could not fix it, then I bought PIXMA 4500 because I think that canon has the best printers, I have never bought a new cartridge for my pixma 4300 or 4500. My friend though had problem on pixma mp160 with color cartridge, it was .....reffiled at least 20 times and then, the printer "said" U HAVE USED THIS FIRST CARTRIDGE FOR MANY MANY TIMES......IT IS THE TIME TO BUY A NEEW ONE :)...think, If I had any HP ink jet....how much money could I lose only for cartridges.... U must have in mind that I've printed and still am printing dozen of photos and calendars and every single thing that I need, I have printed with my IP4500 logo on 1000 envelopes and printer just needed 5ml of ink for all that. I reffil my cartridges with INK MATE inks. Canon is the best, though every company tries to protect their brand with chips...but we still manage to save mone by reffil :)...greeting and I wish many luck to all of U with your printers! Milan

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by BAB (6/7/08 6:49 AM) reply + / Well like I said I am done with this. My last response will be, I am not in Europe and I don't know or speak for Canon Europe! All I can say is my job here in the US is to repair Canon Printers in and out of Warranty. If its in warranty and I determine it may be to expensive to repair in warranty we replace. That however is very rare since we can replace boards, ASF units and the entire print engine if necessary. We also have a list of units in need of firmware upgrades. When they come in to us the firmware version is checked automaticly along with the configuration page giving us page counts and ink changes and so on, we automaticly upgrade firmware as needed, never a charge, never, even out of warranty. In warranty everything is subject to change or repair including print heads and Canon USA does not allow us to differentiate between OEM inks and after market. It has just been our experience that aftermarket inks cause premature failure of printheads but again in warranty we are to just change printheads and Canon doesn't even care what inks are in the printer.

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by ChrisMac (edited 6/12/08 12:20 AM) reply + / Thanks BAB. Can you explain which bit to clean? When you take the print head out of the printer you can detatch the actual head from the plastic holder (with a couple of screws). There are a series of holes in the holder. The Cyan ink seems to flow throught this freely so that leaves the head itself with one large 'strip' for the black and the series of strips for the colour. I presume this is the bit that needs cleaning. Do I soak the whole thing or just wipe it? Sorry to ask such a basic question! The problem is I'm happy to use the printer for B/W printing so I dont want to risk damaging it futher! Thanks, Chris

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by Anonymous (6/29/08 3:41 PM) reply + / Not a problem but a question for BAB: Just picked up a refurb ip4300 (local Microcenter) It came with 5 cartridges, and since I couldn't find any comments on whether to put in both black 5 and black 8, AND assuming the pad on the print head surface would dry out if I DIDN't install both, I put in all 5 cartridges. 1. Was this correct? 2. How do I tell levels on the 5 and the 8 and will I have to replace both or either, or what? (I would prefer to just keep replacing the 5 since I saw a double pack of 5s at Microcenter for $30 and that would be tops. Initial test and pattern check is tops! Love the cartridge paper feeder.

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by Kristi28 (6/29/08 10:05 PM) reply + / I believe I found the answer to that... "5-Color Dye/Pigment Ink System The new ink system consists of four dye color inks and a 2 channel matte black pigment ink. Doubling the matte black is used for maximum black density and speed. When printing, four of the colors may be applied at the same time, since matte black or black is automatically selected based on the media type selected in the printer driver. Matte black will be used when printing on plain or matte media whereas the dye-based black will be used when printed on coated or glossy paper." (This quote was not ip4300 specific so may be not quite right) So of course all 5 cartridges must be inserted and are necessary for operation. This is a mindnumbing printer, especially for the $50 it cost me. Yay Canon! :D

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by BAB (7/21/08 5:50 AM) reply + / Kristi28, not even close to correct. The #8 black is a dye base like the other colors and is used in conjunction with the other colors for color and graphic printing. The #5 is used for text printing, test it, run out of #5 and you be saying my unit won't print anymore. The reason for the size difference is simple, you won't be changing that ink as often because most printing done is text BAB

Re: Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by printerman60 (10/11/08 11:41 AM) reply + / buy cheap on ebay..but you will not get the ink tank effect as you print. Keep a physical eye on your ink tank. The chips count the number of ink droplets used when you are printing. Generic does not. For epson...make sure the ink is not generic ink. It will clog the print head. When it tells you to change the ink cartridge, do so. YOu do not want air getting into the little black plastic nozzles the cartridge fits into, when you install the cartridge. Check the epson website..its details why you need to install when the printer warns you to change the cartridge. Epson inks now are pigmented..not dye based.

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by BAB (edited 1/14/09 6:46 AM) reply + / I have been reading these iP4300 comments with much interest. Lets settle a couple things here, If you just bought your iP4300 in december AnneInNYC, your still under warranty so take it to a Canon Authorized Shop and they will take care of your problem. BUT! Printerman is right and you have one of them, your printer ink tanks have a chip on them, in the bottom front of the tanks. It has a couple of purposes and one is to authenticate your using Canon inks. Most other makers are doing the same thing, HP, Epson, Lexmark, they all want you using their inks formulas. Next the not printing in black is a print head problem, again covered under warranty, take it in! The flashing yellow light is a code, take it in if your still under the 1 year warranty or you were smart and bought the extended additional 2 years warranty. And again Printerman is correct, don't blame the printer for your indescretion about using refilled ink tanks. The formulas don't even come close to the OEMs by any of the manufactures. PC World magazine did 2 series of articles on OEM inks vs reman inks and came to the conclusion that if your willing to sacrafice quality and color, by all means use the refilled ink tanks, but if you want the quality your expecting from your printer and the reliabilty then you need to stay with the OEM inks. The articles were in last months PC World and August issue last year of PC World. BAB Canon Authorized Tech

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by AnneInNYC (1/14/09 6:51 AM) reply + / The big problem is that Canon is greedy and prohibits users from using non-Canon cartridges. Anytime we're told repeatedly to take for repairs right after purchasing it, it indicates I shouldn't have trusted Canon. It is my right to use any cartridge I please. I'm not breaking any laws because I want to save money. The message here is research a product online before you purchase it. There are numerous complaint forums for the Canon ip4300 I discovered after my brand new printer stopped working. The message is also that a company that has had a good name -- like Canon -- will produce duds. Maybe Canon cameras are terrific but the company does not make good office equipment.

Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by BAB (1/14/09 9:40 AM) reply + / AnneInNYC, no one is stopping you from using reman ink tanks. Just get the correct ones! Most of the re-inking companies will have the equalivant replacement tanks for the cli and the Pgi micr chipped tank. Your right in the respect that the older tanks are not recognizied, but neither are the Canon OEM older tanks recognizied in the newer printers. Its just like your car, you need to use the correct parts to make it run, you can use aftermarket parts but they have to be the correct ones for your car! Also I would personnally recommend you at least alternate after market inks with OEM. Why you ask? Because the formulas are different and at the very least alternating will help prevent clogging in the future. Canon inks are alcohol based and remans are water. Also a tip to everyone, when the printer says replace the tank, do it, if you allow the tank to run dry and the color runs our, you'll bake the printhead, and then you'll blame Canon for a bad unit. Especially when you need to replace that $80 print head way before its time! BAB Canon Authorized Tech

Re: Re: Problem with Canon ip4300 by Anonymous (1/19/09 7:41 PM) reply + / I read that before. It is still thoroughly annoying. The cost of calling the right person (typically 4 attempts) then finding out where to drop it, packing it up, driving it there, the time it takes to type this adds up to more than the cost of the printer. If they want to make you use their own ink I don't care, although they should state that on the box. These are the cartridges it came with and it doesn't work. If the want to prevent alternate cartridges then do it right. So before you respond glibly to people's problems, remember, Canon will not reimburse me for any of the trouble they've cause. Zero.
