I have a canon i960 printer that has been a good printer but it is going bad so I am looking for a new one. I believe the print head is clogged and the canon cleaning process didn’t help. What printer in the canon line has replaced this printer? What printer can you suggest for $200.00 or less and an inkjet? I use it strictly for printing pictures. Thanks
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to buy new heads?
Not unless you are talking about an expensive high end printer. This one is not. Consumer printers have gotten to the point that repair costs more than a new printer. I have even seen a couple of times that buying a new printer was even cheaper than buying a set of ink cartridges.
The best you can do is try to get what you have to work and if that doesn’t do it then junk it and get a new one. That is why I suggested the rubbing alcohol and WD40.

If you want to try to fix the clogged nozzles, then go here MaxPatchInk.com
They have an Epson Print Head Solution Kit. It contains a hypodermic needle, and a special cleaning solution. The instructions explain two methods that should clean the head.
I have the kit, but have never used it. I bought it in case I need to clean the heads. I’d rather have the kit on hand, than have to wait for it in the mail.
Hope this helps…
