00:00So your printer spitting out streaky, half faded pages, you've run the cleaning cycle six times, wasted half a tank
00:06of ink, and it's still garbage.
00:08I've been there.
00:10And here's the thing nobody tells you, sometimes it's not the ink, it's the printhead itself, and swapping it out
00:16costs way less than a new printer.
00:18I dug through the listings, compared prices, checked the ratings, and pulled together the five printhead replacements that people are
00:24actually buying and actually happy with.
00:27Let's get into it.
00:29Starting off, we've got the compatible BH40 and CH40 printhead built for the Canon PIXMA G-Series, so your G1420,
00:36G2420, G3420, G5040, G6040, G7040, and a bunch more.
00:43What I like about this one is it's the color and black combo unit that covers a huge range of
00:48those mega tank models, so there's a good chance it fits whatever G-Series machine is sitting on your desk.
00:54It's $25.20, and over 4,700 people have picked one up with a solid 4.4 rating.
01:01If you own a mega tank that's gone streaky, this is the cheapest possible way to bring it back from
01:06the dead.
01:07Next up is the original QY6-0089 printhead, and the keyword there is original.
01:13This one fits the Canon PIX TS5050, TS5053, TS5070, TS6050, TS6080, and even the Pro 9000 and i9900 Mark II.
01:25Because it's a genuine part rather than a clone, you're getting proper nozzle alignment and color accuracy right out of
01:31the box, which matters a lot if you're printing photos and not just shipping labels.
01:35It's $28.60, it's sold over 4,300 units, and it's sitting at a 4.6 rating.
01:42For an original Canon head at under $30, that's genuinely hard to argue with.
01:47Now for the Epson crowd, this is the L3150 printhead, and honestly it might have the widest compatibility list on
01:54this entire video.
01:57L1110, L1210, L1250, L2010, L2510, L3060, L3110, L3115, L210, the list just keeps going.
02:08Those EcoTank models are workhorses, but the heads clog if you leave them sitting for a few weeks, and once
02:13they're clogged, cleaning cycles usually won't save them.
02:17At $30.49 it's the priciest pick here, but with 4,200 sold and a 4.6 rating, it's clearly
02:24doing the job for a lot of people.
02:27Coming in at number 4, and this is the budget champion, the QY6-8002-QY6-8018 printhead, also known as
02:34the CA91 and CA92, for the Canon PIXMA G1400, G1410, G2400, G2410, G3400, G3400, G3410, and G3415.
02:47$23.06.
02:49That's the cheapest one on this list, and it's still holding a 4.6 rating across 4,000 orders.
02:55If you've got one of those older G-series tank printers that you were about to throw out, spending $23
03:00before you drop $300 on a new machine is just the smart play.
03:05And rounding things out, the QY6-0082 printhead for the Canon MG5470, MG5500, MG5540, MG5650, MG5740, MG5750, and MG6600.
03:19This is one of the most common failure points on those MG models, they're notorious for it, and this head
03:25slots right back in without any fuss.
03:27It's $28.77 with a 4.6 rating and nearly 4,000 sold.
03:33Quick tip though, whichever one you grab, double check your exact model number before you order, because these part numbers
03:39overlap and you want to get it right the first time.
03:42All right, that's the 5.
03:44All the links are down in the description, so go check current prices because they move around a lot.
03:50If this saved you from buying a whole new printer, do me a favor and hit that like button, and
03:55subscribe if you want more of these.
03:58I'll catch you in the next one.
