Is this a genuine, new OEM Canon printhead? YES!! Some other sellers offer counterfeit heads from China. But I sell only new, unopened printheads manufactured by Canon in Japan.
Does the printhead come with ink cartridges? No.
Can I reuse my old ink cartridges in the new printhead? Yes, if they still have ink in them.
What causes horizontal white lines in the print? Usually dried nozzles in the printhead.
What does a B200 error mean? This means the printhead has failed. Replacing the printhead will fix this error code.
My printer had a B200 error code. I replaced the printhead and the B200 error code went away. But now the printer prints only blank pages. What's wrong? Unfortunately this means that in addition to the B200 error, there is a secondary problem with your printer.
How can I fix blurry print? First try running a head alignment. If that doesn't work, clean the encoder strip. The encoder strip is a strip of clear plastic about 1/4" tall that runs left to right above the printhead carriage shaft. The clear plastic has a series of tiny, vertical black lines inside that allow the printer to keep track of the position of the head. Clean it, front and back, with a damp paper towel.
Can I revive my old printhead? Maybe! The most important thing to try is cleaning the parking station. Here's how:
Are there any other tricks I can try to revive my printhead? Yes. If cleaning the parking station doesn't work, here are a few other things to try:
What is the purpose of the parking station, and why is cleaning it so important? The parking station is the place where the print head “rests” when it is not printing. Usually it’s on the right side of the printer (looking at the printer from the front). The parking station has rubber seals that are supposed to surround the printhead when it’s parked. These seals have two purposes: 1) to keep the printhead from drying out when it is not printing, and 2) to provide a tight seal for strong suction when the printer is self-cleaning the head. Some printers also have rubber wiper blades that move across the bottom of the printhead to remove accumulated ink. All these rubber pieces get “gunked” up over time with condensed ink. This prevents a tight seal, allowing the head to dry out and preventing suction during the cleaning cycle.
