[QUOTE="l_d_allan, post: 203291, member: 5680"] I infer you are having problems with the PGI-5 black pigment cartridge, rather than the CLI-8-Black dye cart. * Nozzle check ok? The grid for the PGI-5 is very, very helpful to see if there are any clogs. * If nozzle check flawed, avoid printing until resolved, to reduce risks of fried print-head. * Are you using OEM pigment ink? * If not, is the ink from a reputable vendor? Does the problem go away with an OEM PGI-5 cart? * Some no-name vendors put much thinner dye ink in the PGI-5 cart. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. * Or worse, it could be diluted ink (pigment or dye). That could explain what you are seeing. * Do you have several PGI-5 carts, and some behave better than others? [/QUOTE]
