My Canon-4000 PBK ink keeps running out immediately after loading in a new ink cartridge. The printer makes a gurgling noise after loading the new cartridge like the ink is going somewhere and draining from the cartridge. Then, next time I go to print something I get a message that the ink tank is empty. I loaded in two 160mL Canon PFI-1100 Photo Black Pigment Ink Tank cartridges and have experienced this back-to-back. When I run a test print page, all the ink tanks are printing. When I run a print job, the printer stops printing the job due to the PBK Ink showing empty. When I inspect the cartridge and shake it, it appears to be empty although full when I loaded them into the printer. Please help me understand what could be happening and suggestions on ways to resolve.
Hello, the issue is with the grommet / valve on the underside of the sub ink tanks, gets weakened after the many cycles of use, causes a tiny hole which air gets in and allows ink to leak out, air goes into the cartridges so their not vacuum sealed which is why when you put a new cartridge in it empties in days “if your lucky” it’s a part that should cost pennies to fix I’ll attach pics of the culprit, either buy a wrecked machine and strip for grommets, or my solution I built an automatic ciss bulk ink system bypassing the factory sub ink system
