Regularly cleaning the printhead in your Canon printer helps your printer and your cartridges last longer. To prevent your printhead from clogging, we recommend printing at least once or twice a week to keep the printheads primed. You can also run the built -in cleaning function a couple of times a month, but keep in mind, it does deplete your ink, so you don’t want to run it too often. If you try these cleaning steps and are still not getting the print quality you need, you may need to buy new printer cartridges or replace the printhead altogether.
