Canon Pro9000 printer - ink usage
      #636869 - 02/04/2008 23:05

Hi Guys

I've owned a Canon Pro9000 printer since October last year and have been really pleased with the results I get.

However, I am baffled by the fact that I've had to replace 3 of the 8 ink cartridges and yet 2 - green and red - are full and appear not to have been used.

Does this indicate a problem?

I print entirely in colour.

Cheers

Dave

I have the 8 colour pixma ip8500 which has these two inks, and yes, they are the ones that last the longest, even if you print pictures with loads of grass, they still get used very little.

Nothing to worry about.......

There is also an issue (with the s9000) that it reports the tanks are empty long before they are. When the printer reports that any tanks are empty force it to check the print ink levels, generally I get another 20-30 prints A4(colour) before the tanks actually run dry.
