Great video. Especially the trick to remove this nasty panel. Another way to get the print head to move and change cartridges is; hit the " Copy " key, as soon as the machine starts to do this unplug it, printhead can now be moved freely.
Hey, i have the same printer. did you worry about the electrical contact panels when you cleaned it? How did you clean it? also, did you replace the cartridges or put the same ones back in once you had cleaned? thanks ! my printer isn't printing black ://
Had to do this to my MB 5120 because I HAD to buy crappy ink cartridges online instead of the name brand Canon. All these crappy ones did was leak everytime it printed something, the whole inside of my printer was a mess, including my desk, these crappy cartridges were $29.00 for the entire set of cartridges including the black ink. That's what I get for trying to save money! Canon brand is super expensive, but if I have to pay that extra for good quality next time I will. Canon wants nearly $100.00 for the entire set of cartridges though, ridiculous! This includes Wal-Mart! That ink bottle refill stuff doesn't work either, just as bad as the cheap-o cartridges! So, thanks for posting this tutorial, learned my lesson!
Thank you! I watched another video a half dozen times and the jerk never said to unscrew those two screws. I kept looking at them thinking that they're definitely supposed to come out but certainly he would have said so in his very long and dramatic video. But nooooo! He never did. I received the fatal 5702 or 5207 or whatever the heck code it was on my Canon 2720 printer and I'm going to do whatever I can to try to salvage it. I think Canon updated the software to make the printers self-destruct (or get a code indicating such) if one uses anything but they're ridiculously expensive ink cartridges. At least now I have a chance to clean the printhead and see what happens.
Thank you very much! Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo très simple et très claire qui permet d'accéder à la tête d'impression des Canon MAXIFY MB2350 MB2750 MB2000 série afin de pouvoir les nettoyer.
Great Video!! I have a question though, my Maxify MB2320 has issues printing Yellow. Leaves blank streaks on the test pattern. Have cleaned, deep cleaned, even changed ink cartridge with no difference. Is there a way to clean the actual print head if I remove it?
Hi, there are some methods to try to clean the printer head, but never tried. In fact you have nothing to looseHomemade Cleaning SolutionYou can make your own homemade solution to clean your printer head. Combine 16 ounces of warm water, eight drops of dishwashing liquid and one ounce of isopropyl alcohol. This formula is nearly identical to commercial cleaning solutions sold by printing supply companies.
hello, thx for the video. i removed, cleaned and replaced the printing head on my Canon Maxify 2320. ive re-installed it and now i get an error that the ink cartridges are not installed correctly. they arent new carts, but installing a new one didnt seem to help, do you have a suggestion?
Hi, thank you so much for this very clear video! I removed the head printer for cleaning it. I replaced it and now when I try to print, it says: Error code 5207. @Print Cloud, do you have any idea of what I can do? I would be very grateful!
Glad it helped. For error code I checked USA site forum and found the following - copy/pasting, I hope it may help. The 5207 error can be caused by a paper jam. Canon has 2 videos that you can view in regards to resolving paper jam or paper feed issues. Please view the following two troubleshooting videos available from the MAXIFY MB2320's Support Page: 1.

@@PrintCloud That's not a paper jam. That code typically pops up if somebody decides to use something other than a Canon cartridge. I worked for Canon for many years and know how they operate. I just got that code myself and it occurred right after, and I mean immediately after, replacing my color cartridges with generic cartridges of which I've been using for several years. I always keep automatic updates turned off but I recall an issue about a month ago where I had an electrical surge and most of my electronics were reset, thus eliminating my do not update command. I think the printer updated the software which triggered the problem. I will never buy another Canon product again because of it.
I am afraid that ink may be clogged, it could be about print head or pipes inside the printer. I recommend the printer to be checked by service and estimated for repair cost, as it may be noneconomic to repair :-(
I’ve had my maxify printer for like 5 years. Yes I was using aftermarket ink but I was buying the same ink cartridges from the same eBay store for the entire time I had the printer. About 6 months ago I ran low on black ink and had to go to a local store to buy a genuine canon black ink cartridge before I ran out. A week After using the genuine canon ink the printer head clogged up. Pretty sad the aftermarket inks never had a problem in 5 years but the canon did. I use this for my business so I use the printer many times per day.
this model requires service technician to do it, only GX series of Canon MAXIFY have maintenance cartridge where it isreally easy to change in a minute - ua-cam.com/video/v8YdQiLCPhM/v-deo.html
Hello there. I tried to wash the printer head and I damaged it. The 2 parts of the circuit that are connected with glu got sperated. Any advice how to fix it ?
That’s not how the plastic part that you have to remove is attached on my printer. I don’t know what model you are using but it does not work like that
I have a Canon Maxify MB2140 printer. The ink absorber is full, error code 5B00. Printer error has occurred, contact the service center. How to clear this message? Can you advice?

You kind of have to do a little maneuver with a screw driver - a slight insert and twist. When you get it, you will know - it releases right away. I had to do some gentle experimenting to finally get it off. It's easy once you do it the first time, but yes, it isn't as easy as it looks!
Forget all of this. Simply open the cover and when the print cratridges slide across unplug the printer. Then manually move them and click out the cartridge with the button...
I guess print head needs replacement, unfortunately. Try taking out the print head and put the nozzles into distilled water for a day. Maybe it could recover

Didn't work for me. Did you put the same cartridges back?
Awesome video. Process worked perfectly and allowed me to repair a self inflicted problem and get my printer back on line. Many thanks and good work.
No need to wind the gears to move the printhead, just pull the power plug while printing.
Great tip, I turned the gears many, many times and the printhead would not realease

Probably the genuine ink mixing with non genuine and cloging
Merci beaucoup de nous permettre d'entretenir simplement notre matériel en faisant, en plus, un pied de nez à la folie de la surconsommation!
Thank you very very very very very much 😀
I finally looked at a replacement printer head - £64, but a new Maxify printer is only £160 :-)
thank you
how do you clean the ink absorber ??
this model requires service technician to do it, only GX series of Canon MAXIFY have maintenance cartridge where it isreally easy to change in a minute - ua-cam.com/video/v8YdQiLCPhM/v-deo.html

How i can solve 5b00 error
This is probably ink absorber full. Service should open and replace the absorbers and then reset the pritner counter.
I think I will just get a new printer
