Although lower cost substitute ink cartridges are sold all over the web, and on this site as well, the few bucks you might save aren't worth the all-too genuine risks of replacing with generic "no-name" ink tanks. I've heard (but wouldn't wish to try it, frankly) that generic inks fade faster when exposed to daylight, could clog the print-head spray nozzles, don't spread properly on top-quality paper, and simply can't compare with the uniquely formulated dyes that have been specially researched for your printer and its matching photo papers. The one exception might be if you use a black-ink-only inkjet [hard to imagine anyone could screw up black ink]. I concur that printer manufacturers use that old hoary "razor trick" (give away the razor, profit on the blades), but with Canon's individual ink tanks -- where you replace only those tanks that run dry, you aren't out a lot. My Canon photo printer uses an array of six ink tank colors. Of these six tanks (all available on this site), 'photo cyan' and 'photo magenta' seem to be used up 2 to 3 times faster than 'black'. In other words, rather than replacing an entire set of six ink tanks, you can replace just those tanks that run empty the soonest -- thus not having to toss out a 3-ink tank [as used by HP] where 2 of the 3 remaining inks still are far from used up. Just a word of caution here - make certain that every cartridge you order from Amazon clearly states its eligibility for SuperSaver shipping. If you have to add shipping charges to this low-cost item, you could end up paying more than you would have at the local office supply store.

Amazon has a good price for true canon ink. I've been buying mine's locally (not sure why in the past I didn't think of checking on Amazon.) For reviewer's comments on the "P" version of the ink, Some (not all) canon printers use BOTH the Cyan, Magenta and Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta ink cartridges. If your printer only uses 4 ink cartridges you probably should NOT be using PC or PM. If you have a printer with 6 ink cartridges then PC and PM are two additional required ones. Whats the difference? The PC and PM are a different shade of Cyan and Magenta which allows the more expensive 6 color printers to be a bit more granular in the shades of color they can produce in your photos so they can be a little more accurate compared to the four color printers.

Since I bought my Canon i900D I have purchased all my ink cartridges online at Amazon. I have found two things, first the cartridges are new and work beautifully for photos (which I like to print at home), and secondly the shipping has always been FREE....yep thats right free. You need to make a purchase of $25.00, which is about three cartridges. I have found that by ordering my ink three at a time I always have that extra black (which runs out the most) and I never run out of colored ink either. It has been my pleasure purchasing online and saving a minimum of $1.95 per cartridge, (over store prices) usually more, and never paying a dime for shipping. Not to mention that gas is expensive and this morning I have ordered all my ink and my car never left the garage. Thats what I call smart shopping! Thank you Amazon.com!
