Re: Printer Imk
Got my Brother compatible inks from Amazon, not tried them yet, waiting for the originals to run out.

Amazon £14.59 for a full set
eBay £16.49 for 2 x full sets

Re: Printer Ink
I will never buy another inkjet printer and if I want any photos printed better than what my laser can do (which is pretty good on heavy laser photo paper) I will go to Asda

Are the latest Canons reservoir cartridges or proper cartridges ? A lot of them leave the printer head in place and it never gets changed and wears out gets clogged and then well I am sure we have all had to run endless print head cleaning cycles on fixed head printers

Re: Printer Ink
Much like Jaymoss, I use my laser a lot of the time, or if I want better quality, local or online printing services.

Re: Printer Ink
These type of printers will never get messy will they haha I remember when the eco tank first come out . At the time I was printing a lot of CD/DVD cases and printing on discs so I bought a conversion kit. It worked well till it did not and it was messy . Hope it serves you well though Corey the refill idea will save a fortune if you do print a fair bit

Ditto. I don't do a great deal of printing, and I found the inkjets dried out between printing, so went to laser printing.
