Question about MAXIFY GX6050 - 583009
Do you also have air bubbles in the ink tubes after a few weeks? I was very disappointed because I had this problem with the Canon G4511 in all three I bought. My hope was that this would no longer happen with the GX6050. Now you can only have the tubes refilled, which uses up a huge amount of ink.
Helpful answer
The problem only occurs when the printer is not used very often. About a year without problems, now after some downtime the print was only B/W and I had to flush the lines in the tools, now everything is OK again. If you use the printer very rarely, you should buy a laser.
Hoi, GX7050 (same printing unit) no bubbles, no problems, everything in butter
Yes, I had that too. In each case with all 3 colours, but not with black. After a few weeks it started small and the bubbles got bigger and bigger until at some point after about half a year the tubes were almost full of air and no more colour was printed.
Flushing the 3 colours with ink then helped temporarily. After 2x (together with the initial ink flush when starting up) my maintenance module was full and had to be replaced.
After that it got too stupid for me and I removed the print head, took it out briefly and reinstalled it. That was about two and a half months ago and I still don't have any air bubbles in the hoses.
There are rubber seals where the tubes go into the print head. Unlike all my previous inkjet printers, the GX6050 has the print head already installed. I could imagine that this, together with vibrations during transport, could mean that they were no longer completely tight and therefore let air in.
I print regularly, but not very often. Maybe about 10-20 pages per month. So I'm still on the first tank of ink despite the 2 ink flushes.
I've never had this problem with Canon's original ink.
I don't often print in colour. After a year, the yellow no longer appeared. The procedure for refilling the ink tubes solved the problem.
Unfortunately, I am not happy with this machine. The colour prints no longer work. (Possibly because I don't need the machine much) I also have trouble with the paper tray, it only accepts the manual feed, although the settings are correct....
I have been using this printer for over a year now and have refilled the ink a couple of times without encountering any issues with bubbles.
No, no problems with this printer.
Haven't had this problem with mine which I have had for 13 months.
I have not experienced this issue. The printer works perfectly and ink lasts a very long time.
