Re: Canon iX6820 not printing with all black cartidges

Thanks again for your response. I think I have it all figured out and it is something to consider for any quality printing. I contact the ink supplier and explained what was happening. He stated that it was the quality of the refillable ink cartridge. The inexpensive ones, like I had purchased, have...

Re: Canon iX6820 not printing with all black cartidges

Unfortunately I am still having issues printing solid black images for screen printing transparencies. I have re-read your earlier posts and have done some testing. I have also replaced the print head and ink cartridges with appropriate Canon compatible ink. I am attaching scans of the test pages I ...

Re: Canon iX6820 not printing with all black cartidges

One last note for anyone that reads this.

I did get the appropriate ink for my printer, installed new cartridges and filled with ink. Now all is printing correctly.
NOTE: get the correct ink for your printer brand.

Re: Canon iX6820 not printing with all black cartidges

So a final bit on this... I removed the print head and cleaned it out thoroughly. I printed a test page and it printed well, then additional tests did not print well. With your comment of print nozzles being clogged I decided to call the ink manufacturer and learned the ink I have been using is for ...

Re: Canon iX6820 not printing with all black cartidges

I have a question about your comments of the fine Cyan and Magenta nozzles. The iX6820 only has 5 ink cartridges, C, M, Y, and 2K. Are the fine nozzles a mechanical solution for lighter applications of these two colors? If printing a transparency, would these still be used and why, if clogged, would...

Re: Canon iX6820 not printing with all black cartidges

Tested with Cyan and Magenta disabled. When I print with Media Type as plain paper it will print. When I change to Transparent CF102 it does not print at all. It runs the paper though the printer and the print heads are going through the action of printing, not leaving any ink on the paper.

Thanks, I will try that. I have also reinstalled the driver but have not tested it yet.

Re: Canon iX6820 not printing with all black cartidges

Here is an image of the last test pint I did just after a Deep Cleaning through the printer driver maintenance (not using the PrintFab driver).
The grid did print correctly, it may not appear so in the image.

Canon iX6820 not printing with all black cartidges

I am having issues printing with all black cartridges. It was printing the top 2.5" fine and then below that is streaky and not solid. After numerous prints (on copy paper) there is no print at all. I had run head cleaning, deep head cleaning and the test prints were okay. I printed the image u...

Re: Print Job Preview not opening

I think I may have found the problem. I did not have PrintFab selected as a startup program in the system settings. It appears to be working now, after making the selection and restarting the computer.

Print Job Preview not opening

I am using Illustrator CS6 and PFPro 1.15. I had an issue with the job preview not opening when printing a job a month ago. I uninstalled and reinstall the program and it worked fine. I just tried to print again and it did not open before the printer started feeding the print medium. Is there someth...
