PIXMA G3020 Black ink bleeding pink after a few weeks.

[jolansir]

I tried making Vinyl stickers using my Canon G3020 printer. After printing i will let it set for about 5 mins or so before laminating it with a photo top. The stickers will come out perfect but after a few weeks all the black parts of the sticker will start to bleed out pink. Any solution to this issue?

I have this problem too. The only thing that works is changing the color from black to a very dark gray. I'm not super happy with that solution because I'd like to be able to use black.

Did you ever find a solution? I’ve tried different sticker paper, different laminate, and have come to the conclusion it’s the ink! My Ecotank doesn’t do this, but it’s older and has roller issues. I bought this printer just for business, and this issue pretty much makes it unusable 😖
