    Hi Guys and Gals,
    I have a Canon MP600 Printer that I have just replaced all of the Inks in. I tried to print but it won't print any Cyan, which I know is full.
    I have flushed the heads with hot water and let it dry, but still there is only a small fraction flowing.
    If need be i'll get a new print head.
    Any idea's would be appreciated on how to fix or where to buy.

    Thank's heaps,

    Jibz

    Have you tried another Cyan although its full is it flowing from there, take it out and give it a shake and see if that fixes it. Make sure you have your finger over the outlet.

    I tried another ink and it flowed a little better. I shook the crap out of it and seems to be running fine.
    Thanks for the help mate. Should go ok now hopefully.

    A cartridge doesn't last forever - even if you keep adding ink. The print head on the cartridge will burn out - which is most likely what has happened. This means that the yellow and magenta part of the print head (they are right night to each other) and not heating properly allowing ink to pass though. they could also be clogged, warped or missing their facing.
