You never know, it can sometimes be that simple. good luck anyway. BTW
I am assuming you're using Canon carts? After using some compatibles I
started getting that sort of problem and went back to the real thing,
it was just better than going through the hassle.

Which digital camera ng is meashershithead contaminating?

Try your local Cartridge World. They may be able to help.

What has worked for me on BJC 6000 and pixma 4200. Small bowel that
printhead can balance on its face in. Add about 2 inches of near boiling
water and ammonia (3-4:1). after rinsing printhead nozzles through the
inside sponge under briskly flowing hot water from faucet until existing
ink is rinsed out (maybe 5-10 minutes), set nozzle part of printhead into

Looking for a US source for several blades for HP 92298 and

I don't know a lot about printheads as I've never had to look close-up, but
I am not sure if you mean holes in the cartridge or holes in the printhead.
I don't see any holes on the top of the cartridge. One is on the back of
cartridge and one on opposite side (front of the cartridge before you put it

I never follow directions carefully and I'm sure I'll be told that this is
not the way to do it, but I take a shallow bowl and a small amount of tap
water (I know you're supposed to use distilled) and heat it in the
microwave. Then fold a small amount of paper towel and sit the printhead on
that inside the bowl. I then use an eyedropper to drip hot water through

I just placed the cartridge in the printhead the same as I always do. There
is a yellow sticker on top of the ink tank, but its always there. it just
says the name of the printer the cart is for and the color of the ink. It
doesn't cover an air hole. Its meant to be left as it is. Its stuck on
there. There is a small hole at the bottom of the side with the label. I

Just wondering, when you fitted the cartridge's did you tear the little
Yellow sticker on the top of the ink tank.... it uncovers a little air
hole. The sponge should be soaked with ink and not dry, the cartridges
may be faulty of course.
May be a good idea to run a deep cleaning cycle with new cartridges,

Mary - I responded to several of your posts before you bought the ip4000.
The dry outlet sponge is a clue! Have you left the printer idle for a
while? Take that cart out and gently blow into the air vent while holding
the cart over a sink or wastebasket with old papers in it. You should only
have to blow gently to get it to drip from the outlet. If you have to blow
