I guess you agree with me for the most part. Let me know when your lips
get chapped.

Is that's the best shot you got meser****? Changing everyone else's
postings?
My how inventive and original your 10 yr old brain works.
That's ****ing pathetic, just like you.
Get lost moron.

I haven't used original canon oem ink in my canon i9900 since I got it
last year. I have never had any problems at all. None. Not with color
rendition or reproduction or head clogging. Thus far I must have saved
at least 3-4 times the original cost of the printer.
Meser**** on the other hand has never used anything but canon oem ink
and hardly ever prints anything.
Thank heaven for guys like him as he is a good example of a those who
believe everything he hears from a bottom tier salesman and is willing
to pay top dollar for oem ink. It's guys like him that help keep the
cost of new printers down as it's the sale of oem ink that these
companies make their biggest dollar profits on.
Look around this ng, as there are many good 3rd party ink suppliers.
You won't be sorry and you'll be a lot richer especially if you do a lot
of printing.

I've been meaning to ask, as it seems to be the norm here to take
anyone's topic and transform it into a debate on OEM vs Aftermarket
suppliers.

Does Media Street actually formulate and manufacturer their own ink?
What i've seen seems to sugest that they do, but i'm now aware of any
references to this. I'm as sceptical as the next man but I know the
canon OEM ink while reasonable in price is very much prone to faiding.

Obviously they have a vested interest in the formulation of their oem
replacement inks. I don't really know but I seriously doubt they
actually manufacture their own ink. Most ink suppliers, even oem's, use
overseas contract ink manufacturers who work closely with them on
formulation tailored to their requested results to develop specific inks
for them.
Media Street appears to be doing this. Unless you're an ink formulation
specialists or ink chemists knowing who (which Chinese factory)
formulates the ink your using is basically useless information.
All dye based inks fade more rapidly than do pigment based inks as I'm
sure you already know.
As for "reasonably priced" you need to define "reasonable". Canon oem
carts cost about $11.95usd for my i9900. 3rd carts cost as little as
$3.95usd.
You do the math, if that's reasonable for you to pay for oem's then so
be it.
For more information about Media Street suggest you call or email them.

Isn't that an advantage? I'm a Lexmark user considering Canon as my
next
printer,

Which Canon would you like to purchase? and why please.

Emrys Davies.

With Canon, having tanks instead of integral cartridges (and hoping that the seperate
print heads will not be cut out while I am still using the printer)

Most people by that point would just replace the printer, and chances
are this would be at least a year or more down the line where you have
already saved enough to justify the expense and declare victory. If
you are worried about it you can always pickup a spare. Let's say
after the 10th refill. That would add between $1.66 $2.50/ink tank and
chances are you'll not even need it till beyond your 20th refill but
even on the off chance you do you still can declare victory I don't
know a single canon owner that has had to replace their head, and these
numbers I just pulled out of the air and have little basis in reality.
I could use canon's numbers and actually estimate how many replacement
tanks they mean when they say 18,000 copies but i'm lazy.

Several of the Pixma printers use the same exact print heads as their
predecessors in the "I" series. Same ink cartridges as well. Except for the
one picoliter and the 8 color ink models there is little in the way of
actual printing technology that is new. My i960 is virtually silent.


Too bad you are not.

It
has a removable deck for 4x6 photo paper so that two paper feeds are
possible. The two paper feed feature is of little value to someone who uses
this printer as a dedicated photo printer.


No it isn't. You can put different sizes in each source.

Likewise the Duplex printing
feature. For someone purchasing these printers for mixed printing use
these features my be of some value. For those of us who use them strictly
for photos and color graphics and have a laser printer for business or text
documents the extra features have little or no value.



Most people do not have more than one printer. It is necessary, at
times, to print letters, maps, business documents, and various graphics
so I would say you are at the very least different from most people.

I'm using the same bulk ink in 3 different Canon models. I'd call that an
advantage.

Aside from that, the PIXMA models are nothing like their predecessors.
Many
functions and features were added, not the least of which is 2 paper feeds
and duplexing, silent operation, lower prices, etc, etc. Only someone who
has not used either model line would make that statement.

you.




Isn't that an advantage? I'm a Lexmark user considering Canon as my next
printer, and one of my criteria is "they offer the same carts for a long
time." For instance, Lexmark uses the same black in both my 5700 (not
that
I use it any more) and Z52, but different color carts. OK, print quality
improved so the replacement is valid. My Z65 has an entirely different
(and smaller) set. It would have been nice to be able--and depend on
being able to buy--the same black for all three. With Canon, having
tanks
instead of integral cartridges (and hoping that the seperate print heads
will not be cut out while I am still using the printer) i'd consider it
an
advantage for the tank to usable over several product cycles. And find
them on the shelves, not cut out because the store didn't want to stock
older ink for discontinued models.

If you want to buy a NONAME UNBRANDED potential printhead clogging
garbage. It there is an aftermarket mfg/formulator that is ok to use it
is almost impossible to find them.

NO And they will not tell you what BRAND of ink they sell.

I have not had that problem.
