Comment on Black printhead was clogged. I replace it and now the color printhead is completely missing
MisterD@lemmy.ca 4 days ago10 years ago I owned a Canon bubble jet printer. When knew I wasn’t going to use the printer for a while, I removed the printer head with the tanks and put them in a food storage contaner. In the container, I bent a plastic strip into a wide upside down U and had watered down IPA alcohol.
The print head never clogged. Even for months.

I could see this working, but it’s a ton of effort to maintain. If you have the right mindset, after organized enough, and have the space, I guess it will work.
My other beef is just cost in general. At 500 pages for CMYK each, and $20 a cartridge, that’s $80 for 500 pages. You get about 10x the yield for the same cost with third party toner. Even if you were buying OEM toner at 4x the price, you are still getting 2.5x the yield for the same cost.
