I use 3rd party ink in all four of our Canon printers with no more

cartridges you will have saved enough to buy a new printer. Other than
maybe the possibility of Canon ink providing more fade resistant prints
I can't see any reason to pay their high prices. I get the cartridges
for $1.70 each shipped to my door so for me it isn't worth the hassles
to refill.

How many people out their believe in using 3rd party inks? If so what
is your brand, printer, paper and your experience with them. How long
have you been using them and how often do you print. How many of you
have had problems with print clogging the head, fading, lower quality
print results?

How much of a mess is it to refill cartridges and how long does it
take. How can you tell when the tank is running low without having to
remove the cart and inspect is physically?


If you only print every couple of weeks with you have a clogging
problem with non factory ink? I have no problems now with my Canon
Pixma IP4000 but spending half of what you paid for the printer for
ink is high. Also spending $75 for a print head is out of line when I
just saw the IP4000 for a net price of $100 at Frys after a $30
instant rebate plus a $20 mail in rebate.
