I like my Canon printer/copier in some ways. I can refill the ink from bottles, so it’s cheap to use. However, the red seems to work less well than it should if I haven’t used it for a couple days. Type that should come out red comes out brown. The solution is to run through a DEEP CLEANING cycle under the Maintenance window. This takes a couple minutes, but it always does the trick. The annoyance is made up for by saving a lot in ink cartridges or a new printer.
