Hi Bill,

Yep, no doubt will produce a *very* nice print job.

But ... in a sentence ... Very costly head replacements coming up!!!

Yep we know that Bill. Of the last 20 or so users reporting back some 15 to
date have required new printheads ?? Welcome to the club at $70 a go.

$70? That is *cheap*.

We now have a BJC-6200 and an i-865. After our horror story with the
6200 and multiple head replacements, and after reading other posts on
Canon and printheads, I rang a local Canon service agent (Australia)
for a spare parts quote on an i-865 head, even though our i-865 is
still going strong. AUS$179 + 10% GST ... That's US$154.00.

The service agent (sensibly) recommended printer replacement rather
than head replacement.

I refuse to ever buy another Epson printer while ever they "chip"
their ink tanks, now Canon is very much on the nose ... the crystal
ball is beginning to look more and more like a colour laser (not Epson
or Canon).

Regards,
Hughy

What do you mean? Are you saying that as a 3rd party ink peddler you
have 3/4 of your iP8500 users needing new printheads and you've decided
it's Canon's fault? Whatever the reason you seem to have a more negative
view of Canon BJ head life than most other commentators.

A surprising chocie of misguided language:-) A suppliers of some of the
finest and tightly controlled ink manufacturers we naturally have an
interest in ink usage and printhead life. Study these newsgroups and others.
Canon have a printhead problem - there is no doubt. Our feedback is from
committed Canon only ink users and our own and there is no difference - the
heads fail with dismal regularity. JetTec are not the largest alternate
inkjet cartridge supplier by accident, and we supply them because they have
a cast iron guarantee.
We are still running the 800/880 Epsons and exclusively from day 1 on JetTec
and Canon cannot match that with their older i560 or the latest Pixma. But ,
then if you're employed by Canon that could be different ??

Language chosen to get your attention.
Not employed by Canon or any other printer manufacturer. I have been
following the various forums for a while and you do seem to have just
started beating on Canon recently. Others mention that all printers can
clog but can usually be cleaned. Canon heads at least can be taken out
for this.
