Default 4 tank Canon i865 verses 6 tank i905?

Someone recently posted a comment that although happy with the i865,
they're starting to wish they'd bought the 6 tank version of the i865
(presumably they meant the i905).

Do the extra "photo" colours make a big difference to the casual
observer if you generally print to hi res paper (and direct to DVD's)
only?

Also, are there any dramas with refilling the i865, (I dumped Epson for
the foreseeable future, because of the chip hassles and their philosophy
of consumer rape - ie. trying to force the consumer to do what is in
*Epsons* best financial interests).

Regards,
Hughy

If you don't need the best photo quality, then the 4-colour i865 is
perfectly good. I use the i850 and it produces very good photos - good
enough for my needs (4x6 and 8x10).

However, if you need the best photos, then you should get a 6-colour
printer for the additional shading detail.

Also, are there any dramas with refilling the i865,


None that I'm aware of...the clear ink tanks are very easy to refill.
