Same here - never had a problem except once when I didn't use the printer for abour six weeks and the heads dried up. But I believe this could have happened even if I had been using Canon ink. Out of nothing but curiosity, are the ink nozzles in the printer or the cartridge? I once had an Epson photo printer and the nozzles on that are in the printer and I had to use a full brand new cartridge to unblock them when I hadn't used it over the summer. I have now switched to HP printers and in general, I have been pleased with them. Some of the earlier cannon pixmas had the reasonable compromise of the head being a separate plug in component that can be changed independently of the ink. Thanks, my wife holds a pixima for the local Beaver Scout group, next time she gets it out to use I'll take a look. Dave |

They will then perform cycles to prevent the heads drying out, this does use ink and will empty the carts after a year or three. Mine uses about 3W of electricity in standby but that is very low for a networked printer so I can't complain too much. I expect that some old printers used so much power in standby you could buy a new one from the savings. |

Maybe they have people detectors to make sure they only do it when you aren't there. Maybe its only all in ones, mine are AIO except for the Stylus colour 1510 and I don't leave that on. Maybe you are correct and they didn't do it on old ones. I think a straw poll is called for, it will be more fun than impossible physics. ;-) |

However my Canon ip4300 stands up to being left alone for months at a time, and never to date (touch wood) has clogged up beyond the printers programme to do a short blast through with a cleaning cycle.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "dennis@home" saying something like: Unfortunately inkjet printers need to be used frequently and this policy may lead to loads of hassle unclogging jets etc. ITYM they need to be kept plugged in and on standby. They will then perform cycles to prevent the heads drying out, this does use ink and will empty the carts after a year or three. Mine uses about 3W of electricity in standby but that is very low for a networked printer so I can't complain too much. After years of Epson cartridge/printhead torture, I finally binned them and bought an HP a few years ago. This needs just the occasional use to keep things freed up nicely, and I set a manual reminder to print a small full-colour image once a month. The cost is negligible. |

Sorry for thread necro, but I bought one of these machines today and it's really rather good. Can't comment on the disappearing network quirk, as I haven't set that up yet, but the colour print quality on plain 80gsm paper is much better than the last inkjet I had on the same paper. I am going to investigate it's ability with the fancier papers, though. Due to the nature of the beast (toner) I am not sure if it's ultimate printing quality will rival a 'professionally' printed photo (I highly doubt it will), but it is certainly a good enough machine for run-of-the-mill picture printing. The one thing that threw me was the need to perform a couple of calibration operations to make sure the colours registered properly. Doesn't take long. |
