Problem for Canon PIXMA iP4200 InkJet Photo Printer

Black ink line on back of paper




By Pichou on Jan 08, 2008

I only use Canon cartridges. This line is heavy when printing the first page and then fades out on subsequent pages which leads me to think it is leaking over and over. I have tried all recommended cleaning methods

Same Problem

-   i too have the same problem
the ink is pretty wet on the back & is becoming unusable now.
great printer but it'll have to go if i can't sort this out
tried the cleaning, deep cleaning, print head alignment, bottom plate cleaning, clean paper feed rollers and I've had a cotton bud to manually clean the insides. But makes no difference
it seems to be coming from the Black PGBK5 cartridge, so i replaced it with an old empty one but no difference.
didn't understand the advice given on 23/2 by leo
can leo or someone else perhaps explain what to do?

-   I too have the same thick black line on the back of the paper. I tried to open the printer, since it looks like some ink-saturated sponge that needs to be cleaned. But . . I dindn't succeed in removing the top of the printer, and so I wasn't able to discover any sponge through the existing openings.
Please help!-   Dutch boy
