[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1837303, member: 234411"] Boy, did not mean to raise an apparent ruckus on obtaining inkjet (IJ) cartridges - I've been buying IJ printers since first introduced and have owned at least a half dozen or so from three different manufacturers, so not a novice; in addition, I've tried many OEM cartridges over the years and knowing their quality variability have always done decent research before purchasing, but despite these precautions have run into some ink problems, thus swaying between the bargain options vs. offerings from the manufacturers. This is a topic that has come up often in this and other forums and becomes a personal decision, depending a lot on obviously variable experiences w/ these printers and their consumables. My two most recent printers have been by Canon and I've tried OEM cartridges in the previous one w/ several 'messy bummers' - yes, maybe just 'luck of the draw' but this time decided to go back to Canon's cartridges and have not had an issue - NOW, we also have a Brother laser printer which I use almost solely (i.e. not much need for color) and have finally convinced my wife to use B&W for most of her printing needs - thus, I probably replace the cartridges only 2-3x/year - not a big expense. Once my 'new' cartridge purchase 'runs out' (probably middle of next year), I'll likely replace my 6 y/o Canon (like some of the newer features) and will certainly look at Canon's offerings and likely will stick w/ that brand. And I'm amazed at the pricing on this newer Canon machine, virtually a 'give away'. Just a final note for those looking at new IJ printers, I just finished reading the most recent issue of PC Mag which contained their 'Best Products Ratings' for a 100 or so products/categories. For IJets, their first choice was the one shown below (and on Amazon), i.e. Brother MFCJ6945DW (w/ a year's worth of ink) - BUT $315 on Amazon! There are cheaper Brother models but their ink is just as expensive (may last longer, don't know?). If the prices don't change in 6 months or so, then a new Canon may be my future? Dave :) .
