In the case of clogged nozzles, the printer's cleaning routines can use the ink feed system to flush the nozzles and clear the clogs. Instead, Canon inkjet printers use the Canon inks themselves to keep the nozzles clear and clean. Because the nozzles are so small, and because the print head contains electronic and electrical components, solvents, cleaning detergents, and even water may cause damage. The print head is removable, though should not be manually cleaned.
If this is a time-sensitive matter, you may click HERE to search our knowledge base, or create/log into a Canon Account and register your printer HERE for your personalized support options. The Canon Community Forum is not for immediate assistance. I read online that there's a rubber container beneath the printheads that can be removed.
#Canon ip3000 waste ink absorber full series#
Instead of me buying a cleaning kit, can household cleaners be used to clean the Canon printheads like ammonia, alcohol, white vinegar? Maybe not vinegar because it has acetic acid in it.Īnyway, I'm wondering if the Pixma G series printers have removeable ink absorber pads. That's why it's great that Canon printers have removeable printheads. I worry about getting the cleaning solution in the printer itself. It seems to me that the nozzle plate would pop out or bend if too much force is used. I wouldn't want to use a syringe to force cleaning solution thru the printhead nozzles. I've watched YouTube videos that tout printhead cleaning kits. I think that it's neat that Canon printers come with removeable printheads. I've watched Youtube videos about cleaning the printheads. I'm specifically interested in the G4210 or the G5020 or the G6020 or the G7020. I've spent hours on YouTube & Google researching the different brands & inkjets vs lasers.
My printer recently died on me so I'm in the market for a new printer. YAY! There's a Canon forum! Yet I don't see it in the Canon, USA sitemap.
