Has anyone had problems with the ink bleeding? If so how did you fix that?

I have never had that problem. What printer setting are you using? I believe just the normal print setting is suggested; that's what I use.

I haven't had that problem. I have an Epson printer...inks don't run even when wet on paper.

I do shirts by hand so When i cut. The ink sometimes gets off easy if i get to close to lettering..logo..etc..i usually touch up with fabric marker but not really ink bleeding.

In my experience no. I use sketch and drawing paper and the ink never bled through.

Ah! So my printer is NOT broken! I initially had no trouble with this ink, but as of a few days ago, my printer malfunctioned, with an error code saying that it could not recognize the black ink cartridge. Now I know it's a problem with the cartridges and not the printer!

I have not had any problems with the non-Canon ink. Did you return the printer to Canon? If you have, did you tell them you used Costco ink. If so you bit the big one. You just gave them a out in repairing the printer. The info you got with the printer states Use only Canon ink. From what I understand most printer ink is used from the same company. Print heads can go south on any printer. The cost of the repair will be more then a new printer. Lots of luck, Plus I have used Costco refills ink without any problem

I understand your concern with the leakage issue as I've had that occur in the past with another vendor. However, I did not experience leakage with this ink cartridge. I hope you have a positive experience too with this seller.

I had to remove my print head because my ink has run out and died by spraying it down with alcohol. I Have had no problem with mine working after that

I haven't been able to do that either. The problem is not the paper but with the online software that is free to use. I contacted support so they can explain me how to achieve full bleeding effect. I haven't been able to find the set-up by myself. I recommend you to contact them too, if I hear from them I will post the solution here.

My husband changes the ink cartridges. I will tell him about the proper way to change each on to avoid any problems. He got a spot of ink on his work jeans and it is there for eternity. When all else fails, read the instructions!.

Same happend to me this ink clogged my print heads, only way to fix it you need to take the print head s apart and clean them with the right products, look in youtube I believe there is a link about how to repair. I just went and bought another printer

Ruth, I have seen this problem in the past with other printers, so it would not have been an issue for me this time HAD it happened. I am pleased to say that NO ink error messages have occurred after purchasing and installing this! I hope you are as fortunate should you purchase it.

I am having the same problem, and I didn't realize there were other people with the yellow ink issue. I'm sorry to say that I can't help in any way except to commiserate with you. I'm so disappointed because I bought this printer specifically for my classroom, and I loved it up until the bleeding yellow took over. At first I thought it was a bad cartridge even though it was brand new, so I ordered another one. It didn't help. I don't know what to do other than buy another printer. I will write the company and post any response.

You can try taking the print head out and cleaning it, but I have not had good luck with it fixing it. Sometimes it helps and then the next time I use it, it won't print black again. Basically, these are useless printers. The print head is about $50 to buy a new one and they don't last very long. I'm limping along with this and then I will buy a different brand. Sorry. Maybe cleaning it will get you a little more use.

I wish I had a solution for you but unfortunately I had to scrap my HP Officejet for the exact same issue. We tried changing all of the cartridges, including the black twice, just in case it was just a bad head and we even updated the software. After dealing with this ink-guzzling monster for over a year we junked it and got the Epson Workforce printer. We're having much better ink use with the new printer.

My pen works ok. You may try to dip the nib (not the whole pen) in water for a while and then let it dry. The ink always flows better after that.

Melanie, I would google or you tube how to get a better ink flow.. I haven't used a cartridge for mine. Sorry I wasn't more of help. :-) good luck.

I used a fine point permanent marker on it and it bled through, I've never used a fountain pen before on it, so I'm not sure, sorry!
