I've got a new printer! It's brand new, but I bought it off the hands of a member on the VR-Zone forums. Seems like he got it free after buying a PC or laptop during Comex.
The good thing about this printer compared to my Epson All-in-one is, that you can still print even if one of the cartridges is dry!
The other good thing is that it looks really slick! Here's a picture:
This picture doesn't do it enough justice, it's sleek shiny and reflective. =P Anyway, I didn't test the colour print quality as I'm using this mainly for notes - like the first thing I printed, the cheatsheets I mentioned earlier.
Here're some tips of maintaining your printer which I found out after my Epson died.
Tip 1:
Never put your printer directly under an airconditioning unit. The print head will be clogged with the ink, after the low temperatures make the ink solid. That's a rough description of what happens. And if a print head is gone, it's really pointless to send your printer for repair because it's the most costly part in the printer.
Tip 2:
Try to print something every 2 weeks. Same reason as above. It will let the ink in the print head flow instead of being stuck in it. By printing every once in a while, you ensure that the ink in the print head always changes.
Hope these 2 tips will give your printer a longer life! Adios.

Canon Pixma IP1880
the printing result are too yellow, far from natural color. printing in high quality the result is not sharp, there’s no “dimension” at the result when comparen with HP d1360
I bought Canon pixma ip1880 2weeks ago, now it gotproblem. the ink catridges are totally not heat-resistant. i printed many documents, my project contains graphics and photoes, the dealer said the catridge’s-chip will be hot when printing many full page photoes, and it become over-heat and burned!. maybe it because the ink-sprayed technology is too-micro makes the catridge’s chip thinking too much!. (why don’t make a better-heat resistant-chip?)
first problem the yelow color doesnt appear, so the fisrt big-line at nozzle-check print, then in default setting it doesn’t print yellow, only in high setting it printed the yellow normally. then in few days both the yellow “big-line” in the nozzle check-printing are dissapear at all, and now i print all my document and photoes without yellow, do you know how is it look like?
i’ve got HP printer D1360 for 1year printing full page photo and never problem until now.
Where can i get heat-ressistant Canon Pixma Ip1880 catridge?
