Canon Printer ink cartridge clogged printing lines

The cartridge is clogged with dry ink from low usage.
Unblocking the ink nozzles unclogging the ink from the print cartridge can fix it.

Amazon:

This works on most inkjet printers that have the print head and printer ink tank storage in one device knows an printer ink cartridge.
Usually these have 2 ink cartridges one cartridge for black ink and another color cartridge for Cyan Magenta and Yellow most often.
There are various ways to clean the print head on the ink cartridge using a suction tool device or hot distilled water or isopropl alcohol or even window cleaner.

If none of these works the printer cartridge circuit might be damaged or the blockage can't be removed.
In this case you might want to try third-party cartridges that are compatible if any or original new cartridges for your printer.
Your cartridges may be different than the ones shown in the video. You can adapt the steps to your own cartridge.
The suction devices are made for specific cartridges so make sure you have one for your own printer model.

Thanks for this. If I am refilling a cartridge, I find it useful to wait 5-10 minutes before printing, because I think it takes time for the ink to soak in properly. I find that if I print immediately after refilling, I still get horizontal white lines on the black areas of print.

there is nothing wrong with the cartridge... set it upright.wait for 10minutes... place it in the printer. do a nozzle check. if its still not printing. do a printhead cleaning. then do another nozzle check... keep repeating until ink comes out. it might even take 10times to do a printhead cleaning. but it will eventually flow out ink. i made the mistake of thinking i need a new cartridge as well at first. but really. i just needed to have patience and have faith it will work out.❤

While watching this video, I found another way of cleaning it, just soak a paper towel or some 🧻 with lots of water and push the bottom part of the cartridge carefully until the ink comes out like the end of this video it will take less than 3 min !!

😊❤🎉😂


Thanks for this video it thought me something new!!

Blessings.

hello my printer print lines not print properly also my colour ink catrridge works great, ink flow is good not but in the time of printing they just gap and print and only two colours blue and yellow with gaps, and can. i use only colour catridge because my black ink cartridge is empty, or i have to fill both of them to work properly?

Just printing something on a regular basis will prevent the cartridges blocking up.

I've got no cyan coming out of my new cartridge. Tried everything with no luck. I think it may have been blocked because it's a 3rd party cartridge.
