I replaced the head on my MP560 as I have a cheap source of ink cartridges plus I have two of the printers to inter change parts. On Amazon I can get 20 color and sm black cartridges for $10. and large black for 9 of them for the same amount; $10.

I don't know about the 870, but it was worth replacing it for my 560 considering that printer has plethora of features and wasn't cheap either when new to market.

Oh yes' another thing, third party ink will harm the print head. Ask me how I know. If you want ink other than Canon I suggest get refills at " Cartridge World" I have never had a problem with them. Best of luck

If you like your printer and cannot find another with the same features for a reasonable price, then yes it is. I love my 560. No current printer has the great features it has. The new print head has been very worth it for me.

It only worked once, then wouldn't print again. Wish I hadn't bought this one, since I needed to buy a new printer.

I have the MX 860. This printer has a paper bin in the rear and allows heavy stock to pass straight thru without rolling around a platen roller. The next generation printers did not have this feature. It was worth the money for me. I expect another 4 years of printing from it. It was very easy to replace also. Just let the printer re-calibrate for 10 minutes or so. I would put new print cartridges in also.

I believe the print head is in the printer. Standard seperate color cartridge with computer chip on top and a cellophane cover over the ink receptacle. Once I placed an original cartridge I was good to go. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure about this. I tend not to mess with the heads on printers. Any cleaning I perform is visible areas only. This printer is easy to use and two -side printing is a piece of cake. Does a good job.

I just bought my pro901 and the printhead is clogging....and now the printer wont work

I would replace the printheads ... because this is a high volume - heavy duty printer, and it will be much cheaper than buying a comparable new one

Only if it has a chip...and i have found that the MFC-870-DW is very moody toward non brother cartridges..some work and some don't ..50/50.

If the printer sits unused for too long, the ink dries inside the print head, and new cartridges don't help. The print head has to be replaced if this happens - I went through 2 print heads before I gave up on this otherwise good printer. PS the print head was over $100 the last time I bought one - more than a new printer with ink - it just wasn't an economical repair. I tried cleaning the old one several times, never got satisfactory printing results.

If you have put in a new print head and the re-alignment fails, try taking it back out and then reseating it. This worked for me. I must not have gotten it in right the first time.

Yes. I also have the Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901, and that print head works on my printer. It may not have the metal prongs on the bottom, but that's OK.

yes, the head shell is removable and should work with all standard 1/2'' mount type of cartridges.

I am not sure. I would warn you not to buy this printer. It burns through more ink, when compared to any printer I have ever owned. It is constantly needing to have the heads cleaned and it jams all the time. It is an absolute piece of junk.

This is for a Pixma MP500. Lift the lid on the printer and remove all the ink cartridges. Lift the lever on the left side, then you can easily lift out the old printhead. Reinstall the new one- handling carefully from the sides. The bottom is the side that has the circuitboard on it. The back has the brass squares on it. Just slide it down in carefully, and lower the lever on the left, reinstall ink cartridges, lower your lid & you should be good to go.

Yes it does. I installed this print-head in my MP560 an it solved my problem.

It works great on my IP4200. It was easy enough to install, although I didn't think the directions were that great. No problems-printer prints like it had a new printhead. H-m-m-m come to think of it, it does have a new printhead. My only regret is all the ink I wasted trying to clean the old printhead.

Yeah - Did the cartridges and the print head (cost $40 on eBay). Already had tried cleaning the old head in case it was just a clog.
