Hey Measekite let's do some math
Well Mr. Shagnasty, with a handle like yours what else can one say. I also
see you alter copyright. you talk of freedom do you really know what the meaning is, it goes both ways. BTW do you know what [snip] is used for, obviously not. "Elmo P.

Hey Measekite let's do some math
I agree that using the right combination of ink and paper does make a
difference. In your case using Canon OEM probably does make more sense than using Carrot ink cartridges since they cost nearly as much as Canon tanks. They have a decent track record, but nothing to write home about. You can obtain far better results at a drastically lower price using quality bulk ink to refill empty cartridges. Refilling empty BCI-3/6 tanks is so easy that anyone with normal functioning abilities can refill an entire set in less than five minutes without any mess whatsoever. Ink such as Formulabs, Hobbicolors, MIS, Image Specialists have all been shown to have results comparable to that of Canon OEM ink. On some papers the results may be superior. Paper makes a huge difference. Even the troll proclaims that Costco Kirkland paper (Ilford) is outstanding. Ilford, Red River, Office Depot Professional, Konica, some of the Jet Print etc... are excellent papers. I've also had a few s820's (still do) and they are decent printers. I also have a couple of iP3000's, an iP4000 and an i950 and all of them are better than the s820. -- Ron "irwell" wrote in message ...

Clogged printheads are only part of the problem, deteriotation of print quality is a very real possibility even with some of the better second source suppliers. Using the OEM cartrdiges and OEM paper is the only sure way of obtaining consistent quality color prints. That is simply not true! It was for me, the trouble with using other supplies is hitting on the right combination, in other words, you have to kiss a lot of toads before you find the prince. Carrot ink cartridges seemed Ok for while but then the quality fell off. This has just been brought home to me this week as I took delivery of a Pixma ip6600d, previously I had been using the Canon s820 with Carrotink cartridges, and off the shelf glossy photo paper. The supplied sample Canon Photo pro paper has churned out prints that are superbly done. Well dud(?)No need for the insult, try to keep the debate on an adult level. ...do you think it has anything to do with the fact that the ip6600d is simply a better newer photo printer than your old s820? Frank Off course it is, but the old S820 printed pretty good pics when new using the OEM inks and paper. Trying to save a few cents by going the secondary source gave mixed results, some were good, actually won a couple of prizes at the local fair (not the acme of the photo world for sure but the quality wasn't bad), but it fell off pretty rapidly. Did all the cleaning etc., as recommended. |

Hey Measekite let's do some math
600 ml from Alotofthings.com for $34.60 shipped. :-)
"zakezuke" wrote in message ups.com... The Refill kit cost me $35 with shipping so: $432 - $35 = $397 I tried this with him before. Didn't work... he refuses to admit there is a savings even though people like my self and others have already used enough ink without clogging to justify the purchace of a new head or a new printer without loss. Where are you getting your refill kit from? I spent more for mine and got less ink. |

I buy a Canon IP4000 for $50 after rebates. I have the option to refill or use OEM. The carts cost $12 each, I go through 4 black pigment carts and 8 carts of each color. So 4 x $12 = $48 and 4 x $12 x 8 = $384 $384 + $48 = $432 of Canon OEM. The Refill kit cost me $35 with shipping so: $432 - $35 = $397 So I have save almost $400 that is more then enough to buy another printer or maybe a Athlon 64 3800 x2 !!!!!!! |

Don't waste your time on refilling. No matter if you saved, say, the exaggerated amount of $1,000,000 using a refill kit, he would still sing you the same tired song: "BUT IT'LL CLOG YOUR PRINTHEAD" (ignoring the fact that you're $999,900 ahead in the deal and ignoring the proven fact that your risk of clogging is mostly based on how often you use your printer and not the brand you use). -Taliho |

ABSOLUTELY Clogged printheads are only part of the problem, deteriotation of print quality is a very real possibility even with some of the better second source suppliers. FORGOT ABOUT THAT POINT. Using the OEM cartrdiges and OEM paper is the only sure way of obtaining consistent quality color prints. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. BUT THE FUNDAMENTALIST CHURCHIES WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT.
