Canon Printer Tips – Can’t get my printer to work?

February 13th, 2010 No comments

its a cannon bubble-jetbjc-210. I checked all the conections and restarted my computer. It just dont seem to be getting any power I used one of those universal inkjet refill kits,could this have any thing to do with it?

Best Answer: If it’s not turning on “don’t seem to be getting and power” chances are the printer is dead. I assume you checked all the plugs, power strip, outlet etc. If it turns on and not printing, some Canons and Epsons (both use the same technology) they have chips that read ink levels and need to be reset after refilling. This requires a chip reprogrammer and some work in the printer to disable cartridge checks. Also if it is powering on and not responding check USB or whatever cable you are using. Lastly again if it’s powered on, try buying a set of new inks and try that if it works then something went wrong with your refill.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!

  • it doesnt even do a test print? try reinstalling thr printer driver..it could be corrupted. either that or ur not using the genuine ink. but i believe canon is able to use 3rd party inks.
  • Inc refill got nothing to do with power.
    If refiller doesn’t matches the printer won’t print.
    If u r unable to get power to printer means there is a technical problem rather than a software problem.
    Check ur jacks and wire connections. Or take it to a technician.

Canon Printer Tips – Does this sound like a good way to get started in amateur photography as MORE than a hobby?

February 12th, 2010 No comments

I would like to make some extra money and I’m fairly good at photography. I’ve done a couple of jobs already. One was for a child’s birthday party and the other was a series of portraits. I have only a Cannon Powershot and a Nikon N65, but they both take wonderful, crisp pictures and my printer is made specifically for photo printing. I have great editing software as well, and have edited wedding pictures and engagement pictures (they were taken by other amatures)to the satisfaction of 3 different patrons. I was thinking of taking some photos of friends and their children, and trying to go through word of mouth, as well as putting up some flyers. Do you think a flat fee of $25, in addition to individual costs of pictures/packages, is too much or just right? For an 8X10 I’d charge $3.50, for 3 or more they’d be $2.50 each, 2 5X7’s would be $3.50, a sheet of wallets would be $5.00. Does this sound too expensive? I’m going to put together packages as well, I just haven’t gotten that far.

Best Answer: that doesnt sound to bad. Most studios have a $30 sitting fee. I know what you’re doing. I’m an amature myself, and I’m trying to get a bunch of packages and prices put together.

I order my prints online, so that way I dont have to worry about paper,Ink and all that. I base my price on how much their order is. like if they’re order comes out to be…say $45, I’ll double that to $90, plus a $10 sitting fee, so it’ll be $100.

  • i dont think ur going to make enough money to stay afloat that way… make sure to check into zoning laws, etc.. because once you start taking payments you have to start paying taxes also… i just recently opened my own studio, and by the prices your planning, there is no way that i could operate.. theres no way it would pay for expenses.. you have to take into consideration wear and tear on ur equipment {camera, memory, batterys, printer, ink, power supply, paper, laptop, cdrs, your vehicle, gas prices, insurance {yes you need insurance also, to cover your butt if someone trips on any of ur cords etc, and decides to sue}, also , what if you get out, and are in the middle of a ’shoot’ and ur printer craps out.. will u have a second one? do you have a contigency plan in case such a problem arises? also, do you plan on using lights, a backdrop or any other ’studio’ equipment? remember that anything electronic WILL eventually fail.. and usually at the most inopertune time… oh, and i dont remember if you said or not, but are you a parent? if you are, then u have to figure out daycare also…

    theres a lot of stuff to think about… photography is a deeply rewarding field, but its also an expensive one to get into

  • I won’t buy a print from a inkjet printer.

    You never know the quality of the ink used, the quality of the paper, how colorfast is the paper/ink combo, and I do not like the way the image seems to sit on top of the paper.

    When I first got into collecting photographs I did not know much and I bought inkjet photos. They have now all faded or color-shifted.

    Photographic paper or nothing.

  • the price of the enlargements seems like a great deal. You need to factor in the work you put in plus the ink. I think you could charge a little bit more. Check enlargements online and you could probably use that as a guideline.
  • Well, not being able to see the quality of your work, and all things being equal, I think you would probably be losing $$’s on your printing all by itself. You want to figure time, expenses (paper, ink, wear and tear on equipment.), etc…

    I am getting the feeling that your kind of young, so this could be a good experience for you, but you dont want to have it all turn negative for you.

    You will want to think about what to do if someone doesnt like the prints, or the background, or their expression in the photos, etc…, because it can and will become a problem. Its something even pro’s have to deal with.

    You need to make a rational decision, and maybe get some feedback from others, about just how well your photos do come out. If people will want to pay anything for your services.

Canon Printer Tips – Why has my printer’s quality dropped?

February 10th, 2010 No comments

I own a Cannon MP610 and for some reason the quality is now awful. it was good at start but has dropped considerably. The ink levels are high, I’ve done the cleaning process but it doesn’t seem to work. Anyone know why?

Best Answer: You may need to do more than one cleaning. If you have a clogged printhead, then you will probably have to do 3-4 cleanings. Did you run a nozzle check/test page to verify if the printheads are clogged?
