Canon G1400: Out of order

In 2017, I purchased the Canon G1400 printer. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a very disappointing model.




It worked fine for the first time, but then printing with black ink deteriorated dramatically. I had to print in "high resolution paper" mode, so that the black color is made by mixing C/M/Y colors.

The print heads often dried up, and it took a lot of ink to clean them.

Then misregistration (horizontal color misalignment/shift) occurred. Replacing the timing slit strip did not help.

Now the C/M/Y colors started to disappear, and cleaning did not help for long.

So I stopped using the printer altogether.

I think the G1400 is garbage compared to my previous Canon iP5000.
