I'm not used to dealing with this. New job as inkjet printer (I usually buy cheap brother laser printers). This is a decent scanner/copier/printer guy, so I can't just buy a new printer instead of ink.

Is there a good source for OEM Canon ink cartridges? They seem rather pricey.

I would swear that many of the big box office stores refill injet cart, but can't swear to brands.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Costco does refills but not for the inkjet printer I have.

I've heard horror stories of the refill leaking. Afraid to do that. Am I being irrational? (this is why I like laser printers)

Thanks. It seems Supermedia.com, Walmart and Shoplet are all within a couple bucks of each other for OEM Canon ink. For a complete set, it looks to be about $80. Which seems outrageously priced to me. And the horror stories I hear, and have read in reviews* has me worried about using non-oem stuff. And has me thinking that it's all some big racket, that if you have to have a precise chip for this ink, and the non-oem can't buy that chip, then it seems like a monopoly type of thing, and needs an investigation to defend our rights to free enterprise.

:: steps off soap box ::

Oh, and the * is to say, I know reviews are filled with crackpots who have no clue. But sometimes they bring up good points, so I have a grain of salt, and take heed.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, you don`t buy printers, you buy ink consumption machines. That`s the business model.

No kidding. I recall NoiseDesign mentioning he just buys a new printer, it's easier, and about the same price. Alas, no can do.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Yeah, that's why I've always bought laser printers. I can do without color printing. If I need something in color, I'll go to Kinkos.
