Lite mera upplysning om tankskrivare som kan vara bra att veta:
Obs att klippet/informationen är två år gammalt. Så vet inte om statusen har ändrats på Epson eller HP. Men Canon verkar har fixat så man kan byta servicekasett på nyare modeller.
Canon's Megatank: Yet Another Inkjet Scam, Doomed to Fail Thanks to Ink Absorber/Error Code 5b00!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HUazpXWRYo
I typically spend my time reviewing tech products, but this time, I'm going to take one down, the Canon G3200 Megatank printer. There's not enough coverage on the 'net about how Canon's Megatank printers released between 2017 and 2019 are all designed to fail, and since most are still being sold, I thought it was important for me to air Canon's dirty laundry for them!
The good news: Canon released several Megatank printers after 2020 that have a user-replaceable ink maintenance cartridge.
IMPORTANT TIP: even with these newer models, print a page every week, even if it's a test page. This allows you to flush the tubes, which cause the real problem in these Megatank printers (jammed nozzles are just the beginning!). Overall it will use less ink than unclogging a serious jam, and won't fill the ink absorber at all!

FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS PLEASE READ THIS. I LOVE PRINTERS AS MUCH AS INFORMING PEOPLE.
1.) All other inkjet printers be it Epson, HP, have foam or sponges. Someway or the other all these inkjet printers will also show this absorber error issues. It is impossible for an inkjet to have no absorber foam/sponge.
2.) Mind you that ink tank printers are designed for use not just for seasonal use. Trust me, here people have been doing third party ink tanks since the 2008's and even factory OEM ink tanks like this Canon Pixma ink tank are prone to air presence (contamination) in the tube line because of ink backflow to the tank because of lack of usage. You should print FULL PAGE COLORED at least once a week to avoid this.
3.)Due to this absorber foam/sponge issue, CANON has released a new and improved ink tank printers lineup that overcomes this issues. These sponges/foam are now user replaceable in a form of a long cartridge, they call it now "Maintenance Cartridge." Users can just buy this in their local computer stores or online where it may be available and maybe buy bulk just to have some spare, who knows.
-With the improved canon ink tank printers, users can just screw to remove with a penny the old maintenance cartridge (foam/sponge) and replace it with the new one. Right after that you can continue printing right away, no codes, no reset, no other software needed, no hassle. This new maintenance cartridge have microchips that get detected by the printer once replaced/installed so again no codes, no reset needed.
-Printers that have this user replaceable cartridge are (variety of model codes depends on where you live)
Canon Pixma G1020 G2020 G2060 G2260(usa) G3020 G3060 G3060 G3260(usa)
G500 series, G520(usa) G540 G550 G570
G600 series, G620(usa) G640 G650 G670
and other models that has identical body style and design and other latter Canon ink tank models that are designed and released after 2020.
4.) On the other hand, I still do not recommend Epson because it has a BUILT-IN print heads as oppose to Canon that has REPLACEABLE print heads. When your prints have lines or missing colors even though you run a lot of head cleaning or deep clean then that is a sign that the print heads needs replacing. The only way to acquire a genuine brand new Epson print heads is only via service centers and it is very expensive, trust me I've been there. Unlike canon, just type the code of your print head or printer model online it is available everywhere and replace it yourself. PLUS canon has better photo print output!
