PIXMA PRO-200 Foam replacement

Rollerkat — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 22:46:18 GMT

hi there,

I'm hoping someone can point me to where I can purchase a replacement for the strip of foam inside this printer that soaks up the overflow ink from prints. The other day a piece of it just broke off and came out with my print! Trying to print in this state just causes ink blotches on my prints, so that's not an option. Has this happened to anyone else, and is it a fairly easy fix?

Greetings,

The telephone number for the Canon parts department is in this knowledge base article.

The foam in the pro 200 may or may not be user replaceable, but this is a good place to start.

If they can't sell you one, you're just going to have to visit a hobby or craft store and buy something there.

Home Depot would probably have something. too.

Thanks, Rick! Appreciate the info. Digging a little further, it looks like the waste ink absorber isn't a part they supply for self-replacement. Wondering if anyone here has experience fixing it themselves or making a replacement piece? For a printer that's just two years old, this is pretty frustrating.
