I'm not saying I would recommend this but thought I'd share. I vaguelly think I may have read it here. I have an ip4500 and ip4600 (plus two brand new ip4500's in boxes waiting their turn and an old ip2000 gathering dust). You can use warm water to clean your print heads. Hot water can mess up the barriers between the different colors internal to the print head. I would leave the print head in a warm spot for two days before putting it back in the printer.

The print head may need replacing if, after all print head and ink tank troubleshooting has been performed: The nozzle test appears broken or to have horizontal white streaks. One or more of the colors is missing from the Nozzle Test. Place the print head in the print head holder and lower the print head lock lever carefully until you hear a click. Insert ink tanks into the print head. Press the mark on the ink tank firmly until you hear a click.

There are tiny places where the water can go and cause problems. I don't worry about wiping or rubbing the bottom of the print head with a paper towel.

It is made out of a hard epoxy. But you shouldn't have to rub it too much, it won't accomplish much.

I think it is better to use cotton swab on the bottom of the print head to clean specific areas. What kind of cartridges are you refilling?

Are they Canon originals? How do you refill--the traditional method where you refill from the top of the reservoir or the German method where you refill through a hole near the bottom of the sponge? It's possible that your cartridges have been refilled so many times that they are clogging. You may need to clean them if the problem comes back. I refill with syringes from the top, and seal with a rubber plug. No more than a quarter full (in the actual reservoir) when I fill them, I wear plastic gloves, hold them with thumb under the outlet hole to stop the ink running out, remove plug with other hand, syringe in (Canon spec) ink until full then replace bung.

They are Canon originals but have been refilled er well hundreds of times but have swapped the magenta one but still no better hence I think it is printhead and not cartridge. I do have a large supply of spare cartridges which are sealed with sellotape tightly wrapped round to help keep them airtight. Tonight I have put it back in and run clean cycle as it printed test page appaulingly. Descargar Emulador De Hp50g Para Android. Its better but still not right so although I will try cleaning it again (I don't have much faith it will work though) I have nothing to lose.

Oh well it is at the age the other similar printers gave up the ghost, as is the ip4600, I have to say apart from smaller carts the ip4600 has been a great printer too. DomtheMom I have never had a problem rinsing a print head with water. Been doing it over a decade.

Just have to be careful when using other things than water. Alcohol destroys the foam rubber seals. When using a paper towel it's better to just lightly hold the paper towel to the printhead and let the liquid wick out until dry. Using any heat can cause problems inside the printhead. All this only applies to removable separate ink cartridges. If you try to rinse a cartridge with the sponges on the printhead water is wicked into the sponge and can coagulate the ink, this depends on the ink and water pH. Well I am pleased to report that I left the ip4500 for a few weeks and just used the ip4600 for my occasional printing, and yesterday when I came to do this months print run of 500 full colour passes I was delighted to find the ip4500 had recovered and now works perfectly.

I am so so pleased. I left the ip4500 with full ink carts in and just left it switched on for a few weeks and it is solved, so I guess it needed time for the ink to seep through and settle. Looking back I left both for just 18 hours (rinsed out at night then left stand on paper towel till the following afternoon) and I was lucky. I will take the advice of you guys and if I do this again will leave them at least twice as long. Thanks to everyone here for their support and advice. I have to say this is a fantastic forum, it is nice to see how patient you guys are with newbies too even when we ask dumb questions and do dumb things!!
