Do you have a service contract? Price varies depending on if you have a service contract or not and what level of contract you have
My pricing is $2750/ head

We do not have a service contract.

Big mistake with this printer I think

Our initial supplier never gave us the option when we purchased them as it wasn't direct from Canon. When I inquired about it, since they had been considered "used" the price was around $2k per printer per month (we have 3) -- even then, printheads in the only plan we could get were merely a 20% discount, and that was a higher tier (more expensive) plan
Service is quoting me $4,980 per printhead, which seems ridiculously high.

Seems about right. Ink usage is low and "cheap" rest is not.

I remember the heads were close to $7k a few years ago which is one reason I got the service contract

Our tech told us last week they cost around $1,000 each, but I had to order them. That's what I was expecting them to be around. I got sticker shock when they sent over the quote, to say the least.

They are about $4400/ea plus install. My 1650 has had the cyan heads go out 8 times now (both at the same time)... Yet Canon doesn't want to find the cause... This set of heads have 8L through them, the last set had less than 4.

I grabbed 6 heads off eBay just a bit ago. Looked brand new and were in unopened boxes. :fingerscrossed:

Hopefully canon will be willing to install them, I can see them having a policy of parts purchased from us only. I'm sure a dealer would install no problem

I think I may have another dealer do it. Honestly, we haven't had great results with their service in general. We had a lot of ink errors when we first got the machines, and they never correctly fixed it. Thanks to a user on here, we got some resolution through our dealer, but we still get the error occasionally.
