As far as I can see it's like buying a new car and then when the spark plugs or the tires need replacement, you are told to buy a new car and scrap the old one!
I want to know how Canon have the nerve to sell a product that effectively has a finite life without telling the customer. What are the costs to the environment of this policy? In this day and age to use built-in obsolescence as a means of increasing your income stream is really not acceptable. The manual doesn't even say how to get around the 85% issue. When this occurs, the manual I have simply says to contact the service center, not "Your printer is scrap". Looking at this forum (and elsewhere on line) it is clear that this is a recurring issue on almost all Canon printers. However, they were quite clear that one day soon it will reach 100% at which stage my printer has to be returned to Canon at great expense to fix this, and that I might as well buy a new one as it would be cheaper.
I spoke to Canon Support who told me that the first time you get this it means it is 85% full, and told me how to overcome this. The ink absorber on my Canon MG2950 is, it says, almost full.
