As subject really. Got a Canon Pixma MP750 muti function printer, and it
needs a new print head. Chespest I've seen is about 355 delivered, anyone
know of a cheaper source for the UK?

Thanks for your help!

you probably have been using generic ink that ruined the printhead.

I'm sure you mean £55. That sounds about right for the UK. You
"might" be able to e-bay one from the states or japan for less. The
i860/i865 printhead is also the qy6-0049, as well as the ip4000.

And your point is what exactly? That you're a weird original ink zealot, a
shill for the printer manufacturers? Yes I've used generic ink, and it
could very well be that which has damaged the print head. However, i've
gone through 20 sets of cartridges, so even throwing the printer away and
buying a new one would still, at this point, mean a massive saving over
using original ink. Paying £55 to replace the print head means that I have
saved a considerable amount of money over using the original inks. The
picture quality is just as good as you save a lot of cash - why are you so
anal about not using the compatible inks?

That's double the estimated life of the head. That's a good run... a
head change is to be expected.

Excellent, proud of it now :-) itwas being used very heavily most of the
time, and onl the last month has it had a rest. I think too much of a rest
:-) But I'm getting some flush of a mate today and I'l try getting that
through, see if it helps. if not, 'm still happy to pay fr the new print
head.

Very close to my own experiences. As long as I used the original
Canon cartridges, the refilling was trouble free using MIS inks. Only
when I stretched my luck too far - tried to get too many refill cycles
out of the Canons, and/or used generic empty cartridges to refill.
And I did get well over 20 refills of the Original Canon cartridges
without trouble. But after 30 months of high volume printing, I
slowed down and that's when problems began. Bottom line, printhead
failure. After printhead replacement and set of new Canon cartridges,
all is great again. FWIW - my printer and printhead are not the same
as in this Subject. But similar.

....and likely would have been the case even if he used OEM ink 100% of
the time. Now he's over $2,000US ahead than if he had used OEM. It
doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand the economical benefit of
using compatible inks.

That's Measekite for ya! He blinds his eyes to the fact you saved
about $2000 for the price of a $55 US printhead - which was bound to
fail eventually anyway regardless of the type of ink used (OEM or
after). They have a limited life span. Canon knows they will fail,
that's why they made them user replaceable.

$2000 is enough money saved to buy about $35 new printhead. We know
Measekite understands this bit of economics. But he will NEVER, NEVER,
NEVER, let on that he does otherwise his whole "raison-d'etre" in this
newsgroup will be blown and he will be seen as a sham. But then we've
known that for years.

he saved nothing. he lost a printhead and subjected himself to inferior
quality and messy labor and put himself at the mercy of a relabeler that
does not disclose what they are selling.

They have the QY6-0049-000 on eBay for $38.95 US. Please check shipping
details for yourself - just type "QY6-0049" in the eBay search box.

just what i said. you lessen the risk of clogging with high volume
printnng and as long as you are willing to accept results that are not
quite as good and having to deal with relabelers who have questionable
business practices ( the best ones still will not disclose what you are
buying ) and they do not label their relabeled product properly then you
may come out a head.

Measekite can't (won't) see the forest for the trees. He still fails to
see (he won't) the $2000 saved, preferring only to see the $55 user
replaceable printhead which, by the way, served twice longer than
the expected life span with even OEM cartridges! Blind isn't the word
here; another word comes to mind . . . ;-). But I'm such a polite
person I see no reason to insult this poor lost soul.
