I bought one of these printers from Amazon in Dec to take advantage of the cashback. I always used to buy the original Canon cartridges, but have now started using the
Peach Snap & Print System which I have been very happy with. I buy mine from
The Cartridge People using Quidco, but I know you can buy them elsewhere.
Initially, you pay more to get a starter pack, which includes a print head (original manufacturer) and two snap-in refills. Subsequently, you just buy the snap in cartridges until the print head wears out and you buy another starter kit. The quality is excellent, never any need to do a 'clean' after installing them. The only disadvantage is that your Windows Low Ink indicator will no longer work. Mine has never been that accurate anyway.
