I would prefer to use third party ink, but I've learned my lesson in the past with other printers that stopped working after awhile. I buy my ink from Amazon usually with cupons and because it is convenient and a little less expensive, however now that Amazon is charging sales tax I may look for another source. This ink always works. Third party sellers usually don't include tax and even with shipping and handling it is still usually less expensive than buying the ink locally or from canon itself.
OEM ink - The Best there is.what more is there to say. It costs a bit more but is still the best, easiest to use, longest lasting ink available.
These ink cartridges last plenty of time in my printer, I've had the same cartridges for over 4 months with light to moderate printing. I will never buy another HP anything. Never had a single problem with the printer or ink.
I purchased Canon after reviewing my needs, all in one printer, prices and reviews. Once the page dries, it looks great, the problem is how it over inks the pages whether plain paper or glossy photo paper. Canon won and I'm not sorry I bought it, only the ink situation makes it less glorious.Come on Canon, you could easily beat HP if you do something about the ink consumption.
I have had an HP printer that was an out of box failure, that wound up on the garbage truck, an Epson that was a real work horse and did me proud until after 7 years of hard labor it started banding the pages. BTW, I have talked to too many people substituting instead of using Canon ink and have destroyed their printers, so I only use Canon brand. Canon Pixma MX700 Office All-On-One Inkjet Printer (2186B002)GREAT little printer for the price.
Changing media type you are printing on doesn't seem to make any difference, it just pours out the same amount of ink. Works very well. Only problem is the enormous amount of ink it eats.
If the ink was a little cheaper, it wouldn't hurt so much.
Ebay offers refilled cartridges without the chip needed and say for YOU to replace them with your old ones, well why take the chance of screwing up your printer.spring for the REAL ones that are COMPLETE. I have ordered ALL my colors from here and will continue to do so. I am thrilled with my buy. I have looked all over and found my best deal at Amazon.com much to my surprise. Best buy.Amazon.
