Help needed re Canon I950 printer

[Lanyon]

Hi everyone,

I am new hear, so apologies if this question has been raised before.

I have had a Canon I950 for about 18 months. Initially it produced superb A4 prints, however , now it is producing very poor coliour rendition. Items changed and things I have done are:

1. New printhead ( problems seemed to appear after this)
2. Consistent ink supplier (not Canon)
3. Consistent paper supplier
4. Nozzlechecks and deep cleans (seems OK)

I have even purchased a profile for use with Qimage and switched to Canon pro paper, the results were better, but not as good as before.

Black & White prints all have a severe cast, either green or blue depending on paper and profiles. Incidently, a friend with an I850 is experiencing the same problems. This is bad enough to such an extent that I cannot be sure what I am going to get from this printer and am so frustrated with it that I wonder if home printing is viable.

Any help would be appreciated....

TIA

Jim

I am not sure, but have heard that ink from other suppliers are not constant in quality. So possibly when you changed one or more cartridges it changed the result.
