Copies come out with black streaks even after replacing PGBK 5 cartridge: Anyone else had this problem and been able to resolve it?

The streak is caused by a pile up of black ink underneath the foam pad just below the large black tank. Try to remove the foam. You will notice one hole that has black ink around it. Clean that as well as you can with a q tip (You have to remove some of the cotton). I took my whole machine completely apart first and killed it DEAD. If this doesn't work, buy a new machine. I bought a Canon MX850 because it uses the same cartridges and has a newer interface. It doesn't cost much more than the ink packaged in the box. (a full set of 5 cartridges)

I have only used the black cartridge to date. I am not qualified to rate the others

I had the problem twice but just switched from black print to color and then back with the next use. It has been fine since. Good luck and hope this works for you

I am getting streaky printing with this ink on a J475DW. Waiting for tech support to provide some insight as others seem to have had success. Keep you posted.

As I described in my long review, I was advised to take all out and place them back frst, once it didn't work, I was advised to take the other black cartridge and as soon as I placed the second one, it recognized. Just make sure you take the sticker and orange plastic on top. I didn't do anything else and it's intriguing why it works that way... Good luck, let me know.

Sorry I can't help you with your problem. I have never had that problem, but have had many other problems with this program. It maybe your printer settings but I wouldn't be surprised if it is the program itself. I have used the older versions of Printmaster for many years and was very happy with it but since I changed my computer I had to buy one for windows7 and it is the worst I ever had! What a waste of money. Nothing prints out right and it has a very limited selection for cards etc. I would see if it can be returned for something else.

Had the same problem. Be patient. Remove the cartridges and re-install the cartridges making sure to seat them fully.

If you have tried the suggestion made by rekaks with no luck, you need to send the color cartridge back for a replacement. Do it soon as the time period is short.

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

I haven't had that happen to me. You may have damaged something, on the cartridge, I mean. Sorry. I have had good luck with all of mine so far.

I had the same problem. In my case, it wasn't the cartridge. I eventually purchased another printer.

Has anyone figured out how to use the 57 color cartridge without having the error message?? Can we disable the error message?

I experienced the same problem and cannot print quality pictures, as a result. I am still trying to figure the problem out. I would suggest contacting the makers of the item for assistance. If you find out before I do please let me know. Thank you!

I guess that I had a similar experience. I replaced the black cartridge several times and worked with help desk. Eventually it came down to replacing the entire print engine. At this point I took the printer to the dump. Sorry you had a similar experience.

I am still using my first cartridge, so I cannot be of any help, but can you contact the seller to inquire about your problem? I see someone else had a problem, so I will be on alert when I change to the new one. Sorry I cannot be of more help. bummer...

I have had problems with the black banding unless I print it as photo quality which ends up using more ink. So far two has exhibited this behaviour.

make sure that you have run 2 cleaning cycles. I have them not show up but try it anyway. make sure that the cart. are fully insured into the printer. if all everything still fails they have a warranty on them. and tell the story to inktoneram. they have worked well for me with no problem. also note that the printer may see cart. as empty but try printing again and they should work, runt cart as long as it prints ok when showing streaks and so on, change cart.
