Rarebird: Ok...inks do make a difference. Buying ink from places to get a good deal on them can cause problems and quite often ruin a printhead. We test just about every brand that is out there and there are some really bad inks out there. So buyer beware with less expensive inks...you do get what you pay for. I have had customers complain about some methods of cleaning so again, be careful. We use the steamer here and have never burned a printhead. We have found that if the steamer doesnt clear the clog after two cleanings, then it is toast! Since your printer is newer, it is probably not your printer and most likely the ink. We recommend printing once a week with our inks, but remember when changing ink companies, you still have the printer that has the previously used ink which still may have problems.
Donna: While edible ink is out there for some other brands, we highly recommend Canon. Not every Canon is available. We recommend the Canon mg5320, Canon ip3600, and ix6520. Remember you cannot use a printer that has been used previously with regular ink.
Thanks for allowing me to help you.
