I have a 44" Canon ipf8300 that was a backup printer and got pushed to one side, and has been dormant for about 3 years now.
Thought i'd put it on Craigslist or eBay, so decided to fire it up and have a nozzle check, but it seems the inks have all dried out in their carts, (the carts feel empty-light) Can't do a nozzle check without ink, so no idea state of heads, either.
is it worth resurrecting?? - it would need 12 ink carts, ($700 + for 'compatibles') and maybe head/s ($450 each)
seems not worth it, though it pains me to trash it, as it's really mint. I used it maybe 10 times.
Or simply put it on eBay/ CL for an 'as is' sale?
Lovely printer, did many things my Epson's couldn't, like print really well onto Harman Gloss Baryta without marking.
