Replacing print heads on Canon ip3000
It is.
Mainly on ebay. But it's cheaper to buy a new printer. Take A Look http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-Canon-...QQcmdZViewItem Or online at twice that price http://www.systeminsight.co.uk/acata..._QY6_0064.html Mike ------------------------------------------------------- "dexx" wrote in message ups.com...

ups.com... I have an aging ip3000 inkjet which is printing poorly in spite of new cartridges and numerous software head cleans. Is it possible to buy replacement print heads for this model? Before you give up on the printhead go to Nifty-stuff Forum, sign in, click on the FAQ link at the top of the page, click on the first FAQ which has to do with why your printer doesn't print properly, and you will find several techniques for clearing a printhead clog when the software cleanings don't do it. You can also email Arthur Entlich - you will see his email address on one of his numerous posts on this NG. He has been emailing people a manual on cleaning Epson printheads for several years, and he recently mentioned that he also now has one for Canon printheads. He doesn't charge for the manual nor does he ever send spam or give your email address to anyone. If you need to buy a new printhead I have found the best prices for Canon factory sealed new printeads at inkcessories.com. They also have some on sale on ebay, but I would be certain that you are buying from this vendor if you go to ebay as they are very reliable. http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/ |

Replacing print heads on Canon ip3000
a number of online ink sellers offer cleaning kits that FAR surpass the
software cleaning. That said, simply look up your local authorized Canon service center, (usually a local printing shop), and order a head. They cost under $60, and the IP3000 is well-worth that investment. www.alotofthings.com http://www.inkjetsaver.com/ Are 2 places I have bought cleaning tanks and kits.

The IP3000 when compared to the IP4000 for a couple of bucks more is a rather poor investment. As a matter of fact no printer is an investment, it is a capital expense. And even the IP4000 is not worth $60.00 for a new printhead. Why spend $60.00 to repair a used printer when you can get a new IP4300 for around the same price that is more advanced and uses longer lasting ink. And look who the sellers are of this junk. Some people jut like getting screwed. www.alotofthings.com http://www.inkjetsaver.com/ Are 2 places I have bought cleaning tanks and kits. "dexx" wrote in message ...

Is it possible to buy replacement print heads for this model? Dan's advice is good, but you can go to the Nifty Stuff Forum site as I mentioned and get some tips for cleaning the printhead without buying anything other than the original Windex, which most people already have at home. Several techniques there. If you are used to refilling carts you can make your own cleaning carts by purging an extra cart and filling it with a mix of windex and water. Also, price the printheads on the Canon web site and then check Inkcessories.com or its ebay site. Much cheaper than you would pay at a Canon repair facility and the same sealed package factory fresh printhead. |

I might be a tad late in the game to respond to this. An ip3000 printhead runs at about $50 from amazon.com An ip3300 runs about $70 or so from the same site. As someone else as stated, you can for more money get the ip4300. It's been a while since I shopped as I'm happy with my ip5200, basicly the same model. The ip3000 is what you have, which I believe is a hack to accept the newer inks. The ip3300 is what you have already, but takes newer inks. They cost more, and the only improvement is in the color dye. Text printing has not changed in canon for some time. The ip4300 takes an extra dye black, has a smaller drop size, higher resolution, and much better color. On newer models, you lose some ease of 3rd party inks and refillability. Aside from higher resolution, the ip4300 tends to do well on matte paper, where the ip3000/ip3300 unless you select plain paper, will soak the paper when printing black. |
