Suddenly getting blank pages

[aab1]

I just started getting only blank pages from my Canon. I have no idea what happened to caused this.

However, to save even more money on my last refill I refilled the black cartridge with cacao powder, the cyan with blueberry powder, the magenta with beet powder, and the yellow with turmeric powder (I realize the colors might be a bit off but it should compensate for this during calibration right?). I made sure they were all ground finely enough to not cause any problems. Of course these wouldn't melt onto the paper as they get fused, so I took white plastic pellets and ground them into a fine powder and did about a 1:5 mix of ground plastic to colored powder for each which should be more than enough to properly fuse the colors.

Any idea why I'm getting blank pages?

I got a great idea for once we resolve the above problem, would finely ground parmesan cheese work instead of the plastic powder? That way once I'm done with a print, I can just scrape it off the paper with a spatula and eat it! And each color will have a different flavor! Not sure that blueberry-parmesan is such a good mix though, I might just toss the prints with lots of cyan on them.

Come to think of it, sugar melts also and is probably less messy, it's probably better to use powdered sugar, and will definitely go better with the blueberry.

Either he got h4x0r3d or burned a fuse in his head - either way, he's making a lot more sense now!

I just realized I did something really stupid, with the cost of blueberries the blueberry powder actually costs more than toner! So for cyan I'll use toner, but beet powder, turmeric & cacao are much cheaper than toner.

I can't believe I was so stupid as to use a refill that costs more than toner refills! At least the cacao, beet and turmeric powders are brilliant ideas.

Turmeric has very good healing properties,will cure head injuries both internal & external.

Could be door interlock..... cartridge not in right.....developer handle broke....A model # might help.

Read the entire post, DLP. He's messing with us.

The other things that are blank are his brains... Unbelievable, this guy...

First off, yes - he is just making light (as in humor). HOWEVER, based on some of the customers I have heard of, his ideas could actually get some people to try it.

Spices would not be the craziest thing I've found in a toner cartridge. How about developer? =^..^=

Read his other threads. He's just an idiot wandering amongst us. I don't even know why I bothered replying except for the tech in one of his other posts that said he's like a car accident. You just have to look. Most times he spends his weekend toying with everybody and seems to disappear for most of the week. Takes time to crush those fruits I guess.

Ah, yes... the Weekend Weenie, as it were...

Oh come on guys. You have to admit that it is a little bit funny. Especially since he goes on and on and on about that infamous .4 cent color ink refill shit. Just laugh, giggle, and let the nasties out and find inner peace.
