I have the Canon Pro-100 and I think it is a great printer for the price. I would do [ 1 ] nozzle clean then check the head alignment. It the nozzles are clogged, take the ink cartridges out, remove the head and take a clean cloth that is used for cleaning your glasses, make it wet with distilled water. Then place the print head on the cloth and let it set for a few hours. You may have to do this more than once to get the ink in the nozzles to liquefy. Put the head back in and run a nozzle alignment again. Also be aware that the Yellow ink is the most problematic. I have two sets of cartridges and I refill them. If you do refill, never let the cartridges go totally empty. The yellow cartridge, I suggest to purchase a new one, do NOT use the one that is in the printer now. One more point, the act of cleaning the nozzles put ink into a reservoir with a piece of sponge and a sensor. Ones the ink in this reservoir trips the sensor you are DONE. There is only one known way to reset the sensor, but you have to contact a Russian gentleman for the information. Good luck, but do not do any more nozzle cleaning than you have to, just print a small photo every two days, on plain paper.
