Hi All, 

Unfortunately the maintenance cartridge did not resolve the issue with the large format printer in the lab and a new print head would be required. an OEM unit is approximately £350-£400 however there seems to be Remanufactured/3rd Party Units on Ali Express for £50

Compatible Canon PF-04 Printer head for Canon IPF-686 IPF-750 IPF-755 IPF-760 IPF-765 IPF-770 IPF-771 IPF-780 IPF-781 PF04 - AliExpress 7

I still feel this would be a valuable addition to the lab however I appreciate everyones thoughts on the matter

Hi :)
I've ordered this, it should be coming tomorrow, so I'll bring it in on Tuesday if I'm not in the space before then.
Would have ordered it sooner, but didn't want it to come while I was away.

It does sound like a sensible way forward to make use of it. I don't know anything about big printers either, but if £38 restores it then great, and if it doesn't then it was only £38 😅

Support from me.

Hi,

You seem to know what you're talking about and I think this is worth the gamble.

Let's see if we can get two directors to agree.

Iain.

Hi All, 

After taking a look at the Large Format Printer in the lab it will need at minimum a Maintenance Cartridge. It is highly unlikely that any other parts would be required as the print cartridge - if gunged up - can probably be cleaned and made to work and we have additional ink cartridges if any of the ink is unusable


let me know your thoughts but I believe there is a high likelihood that this would be the only required part
