Get Your Printer Back in Working Order With a New Canon Printhead
After a while, the printhead on your Canon printer can begin to get old and worn-out, lowering the quality of your printed documents and contributing to wasted ink every time you print. Once your printer starts to show those signs of old wear and tear, it may be time to consider purchasing a printhead replacement from eBay to extend the life of your Canon printer.
How to know your printhead needs to be replaced
There are a few different things that can be going on that may mean your printhead needs to be replaced. If you try to print and the pages are coming out blank or the print quality is poor, the colors are missing in your prints, or the colors don't look the same when printed, you may need a new printhead. If you also notice things like horizontal white lines, light-colored lines, or light-colored streaks showing on the page, it may be time for a replacement. Purchasing an inexpensive printhead replacement from eBay can save you money in the long run by saving you from having to purchase a new printer due to misuse.
How long do Canon printheads last?
A well-taken care of printhead can have a life span of around seven to eight years, and within these seven to eight years, you can get thousands of pages of printed documents or photos.
What is the difference between an ink cartridge and a printhead?
The printhead does not actually carry the ink you use to print your documents or pictures—the ink cartridge does. The printhead is the mechanism used to spray the ink onto the pages. Having a functioning printhead is critical in making your printer work properly without wasting ink and making a mess of the paper.
