Canon Maxify Printer issue

[Kommokko]

Hi,

My printer hasn't been printing properly for a while and I can't seem to fix the issue.

I have done the below things and still no success:
Maintenance setting - Head clean
Maintenance setting - Deep clean
Replaced cartridges
Removed the printer head and manually cleaned it.

Any advice on how I can solve the issue or who I can take it to in Gauteng? I bought the printer 1,5 years ago, but as I use after market cartridges my warranty wouldn't cover the fix.

I have also attached printer nozzle check as an example of the issue.

I spring-cleaned my old Canon inkjet & installed new cartridges about a week ago.
Only a few days and a few pages later, received error code relating to print head.
Internet search says to replace print head, printer is worth nothing.
Swore at Canon, chucked the thing in the bin & ordered a lazer, cos..
