Ink poured into the printer!!
Hello!
We have a Canon InkJet PIXMA iP4000 printer. As the ink cartridge is expensive, we buy the colours & fill the cartridge up. It worked all the time fine until the last time, where a lot of magenta ink is inside the printer after the procedure. The photo prints have all a strong magenta touch & are useless.
My question is how one can clean the printer from this spill of colour without damaging the hardware?

Righto look forward to your results :)
i have cleaned many HP printers.
here my procedure :
i dismantle the printer, and put every part in a bucket of water
then dry them - with towels , or paper as you see fit.
if you submerged electronic parts, allow them to dry for a couple of days, or use a hair dryer

Thank your for your support!
Actually, there was also some additional problem we noticed later. The yellow cartridge did not give of any colour. But the spill could be removed with your support!
Thanks again. :-)
