Canon Pixma ink cartridges?
I'm on the verge of deciding to change my Lexmark Z517 printer for a
Canon, since I'm a student and print quite lots of stuff (and the Lexmark ink is generally fairly expensive and nearly un-refillable/third party ink non-existent). So, I saw many dirt-cheap cartridges for Canon printers, but they fit into BJC models, which don't seem to exist anymore (and have likely been discontinued for a while). However, I also saw both a Pixma iP2000 and an iP2200 for a really good price, however I was wondering if the cartridges were as easily refillable as the old BJC cartridges, or if third-party ink was available for such a low price. Judging from the pictures I saw, the cartridges that fit into the iP2200 (which is, I guess, the model following the iP2000) didn't seem to be the same at all as those who fit into the iP2000, which are the standard BCI-24 cartridges. Could anyone tell me if the ink for both of these printers is easily refillable, and if they're using reservoirs or sponges a-la-Lexmark? Thanks a lot! |

Canon Pixma ink cartridges?
Canon ink is one of the easiest to refill, and also one of the cheapest to
by 3rd party ink for. I use ProJet Compatibles and they are amazing. The IP2000 ones are only £0.55 (Inc V.A.T) for a colour ink why refill? IP4000 / IP5000 are only £0.69p (Inc VAT) Hope this it of some help. Mikey "Eric" wrote in message ups.com...

What Mikey neglected to mention is that the iP2200 would be a chipped cartridge type which, whilst refillable, wouldn't provide you with ink level information from the point when you needed to refill it. There's plenty of information on the net about the new Canon carts if you check... So, in a nutshell go with the earlier iP2000 or similar.. rather than the iPX200 versions. |

I stand corrected.
Thanks for pointing that out Martin. Good to know somone is paying attention ;-) I agree 100% stick with the 000s not the 200s At least for the time being. Mikey "Martin" wrote in message .uk...

Measekite is a Retard, I would never have seen his post as I have him on
Killfile, but saw his name in a reply. He is just a scaremongering troll. Ignore 99.9% of what he says. If he likes to be ripped of by the printer manufactures, that's his decision. My opinion is that I would much prefer to pay 0.59p per cart that £9.95 or even in some cases 0.79p rather than £23.99 Only 3 refills would pay for a new printer, with a set of OEM in thrown in into the bargain. I have an IP4000 and the quality of the carts I use are awsome. Paper quality is an important factor though.
