[QUOTE="chscag, post: 949986, member: 46727"] No, it's not you being "tight". It seems the way printer manufacturers make their real profit is not from the hardware but from the consumables. :( I find that Canon printers for the most part are economical to maintain in that they (newer models) use 5 ink tanks. I've been able through on line purchases to obtain replacements at a decent price. Each tank can be had (refilled) for around $6.00, and that's for ones which have the Canon "chip". Without the chip the price is less but the tanks do not function properly. I'm currently using a Canon Pixma MP 620 which can be purchased here in the US at Wal-Mart for around $100.00. Regards.
