Hi, I have a Canon IP4000 for the last 1.5 - 2 years. Its worked perfectly till now.When I print a color picture, magenta doesn't show up. Black cart. shows some black on some part of the picture but not enough black on other parts where there should be. Green and yellow are OK. I checked magenta cart. and sponge part at the side seems to be dry, but there is lots of ink in the cart. Black cart ink is ok too. I did cleaning and deep cleaning a few times, but on Nozzle check page, red and pink don't show up and black shows is gray.No errors show on screen and Status monitor shows all carts as having enough ink. How can I correct this problem?

Replace affected ink tanks with new tanks. If that doesn't solve it, remove the head assembly and clean it with hot water and ammonia. (careful not to dirty the electrical contacts on the back side). Do not leave the head assembly out to dry, wipe if off and immediately reinsert and replace tanks.
NO NOT continue to use the printer in this condition or you'll burn out the head. If you can't get it running again, a new head assembly might be needed, although it's not a certainty that this will fix it.

The ink tanks all have plenty ink so I don't want to buy new ones. I will try the hot water and ammonia, though I am not sure what ratio the ammonia to water is and if the water has to be hot. I've never done this before, but I have some ammonia, so I will mix maybe 1 tablespoon of ammonia with 4 tablespoon of hot water and put it on the print head holes and see if that helps..

Ok, thanks. Its not under warranty so it might be cheaper to buy another one if this one can't be fixed. Its only 1.5 or 2 years old so should have lasted longer I would think. I haven't over-used it but I print 2 times a week or sometimes more.

the 4000 is a well liked machine Mary. It seems that some would rather have it than many of the newer models.
Hi, I have a Canon IP4000 for the last 1.5 - 2 years. Its worked perfectly
till now.When I print a color picture, magenta doesn't show up. Black
cart.
It seems quite obvious to me that you are using incorrect aftermarket
ink and not the ink Canon recommends. I have mentioned it before that
these things would happen. I have a Canon IP4000 and have had it twice
as long as you have had yours. I do not use it heavily but do manage
to print a photo ever few weeks and at time more frequent. I have
never had to do any kind of a cleaning and have never had a problem
with this printer.
Of course I use Canon ink and have never used any of the crap that I
have researched on the Internet. There are many vendors selling the
same inferior product under different names and even using different
websites to confuse the buyer and with almost no exception do not
properly describe their product on every page. Even when you call them
they will not tell you what they are selling. I have tried many times
until I just gave up.
While I understand you unhappiness over the situation I do rejoice in
these posts when I have forwarned users that these things happen and
that I have never had a problem going on 5 years when I use the product
according to Canons recommendations. Still the people who have these
types of problems will defend their action and still persist that I am
wrong. I think that is why I have pleasure when reading these posts.
The recommendation is to get a new Canon IP4500 and use only Canon
ink. The new Canon ink will have an even lower risk of fading. I have
not seen any fading but 5 years is not a long time for that.
shows some black on some part of the picture but not enough black on other
parts where there should be. Green and yellow are OK. I checked magenta

I agree with that. I had a hard time finding the Canon IP 4000 when I bought it new, as it was being discontinued and several people had said it was a good printer. It prints very nicely. any people liked it. When I have to print something to give to someone, many times people ask what kind of printer do you have? I am going to try the ammonia/water solution when I get a chance. If that doesn't work, I suspect it could be the printhead, but after 1.5-2 years?

Maybe that amount of ammonia is too strong? Someone else said 4:1 with ammonia being the 1

If you own one like I do and only use Canon ink there is little reason
to change. But if you are going to buy a printer than it is
ridiculuous to buy one 3 generations old. The IP4500 is current and
produces a photo equal to if not better in quality and has led s on the
cart to letyou know when to change the ink. The ink is also a newer
formulation that reduces the risk of fading.
