which ink is likely to run out first?
I've got a fairly new Canon MP600 for which I will eventually have to buy
ink. Office Depot sent me a coupon that might be useful ($10 off $25 or more on ink) but I have to project which ink tanks are going to need replacement first. My guess is large black...followed by which colors? Nothing is running low enough yet to judge. Brendan |

I didn't check to see what ink set the Canon MP600 uses, but the ink use
depends upon your use. If you will be printing a lot of text, then black is likely to be used up first. However, if you will be printing images, depending on the ink set, the typical use is as such: In six color printers, the light (photo) magenta and light (photo) cyan will be first, followed by yellow, magenta and cyan. If it is a 4 color model, then yellow, magenta, and then cyan. The cyan and magenta usually run out about the same time, and it depends upon your use. If it has two black, pigment and photo black, the pigment black gets used for text, the other black for photo or color work. It usually lasts the longest. Art Brendan R.

My guess is large black...followed by which colors? I fitted a CIS to my printer about 2 months ago. I've noticed the yellow is going down the fastest, closely followed by light magenta, then light cyan, then cyan and magenta. Black is the last. I print mainly wild flowers and landscapes. Jim Ford |

While black is most used by volume, the black cartidge is also larger
.... FAR larger, usually more than twice the size of the color cartriges (by ink volume), so the black cartridge may last longer than other colors, even though you are using more black ink. Personally, on my HP printer, I'm using both Cyan and Magenta more rapidly than yellow. But it literally depends on what you print. Brendan R.

I have a 4 colour model and in general, I have found the above to be true. I have two black - (one fat and one thin cartridge). Most times, the colour runs out first even though I use colour and black about equal times. Can you tell me, is my fat black cartridge for photo or text? Mary |

My guess is large black...followed by which colors? Nothing is running low enough yet to judge. Brendan Having read all the responses up to now, I can say that it depends entirely on what you print most. If it is plain paper text based printing you will be replacing the large black pigment-based cart. Even if you only print black, plain paper, text based pages, however, the cleaning cycles that the printer runs automatically will also eventually deplete the color carts as well. If you print lots of photos the usual first cart to run out is yellow (depending on what you are printing.) Most of the discount coupons you receive from Office Depot or the other big box office supply stores are for their own store brand of ink. There are very few aftermarket carts available for these newer Canon printers that have chipped carts. These carts are refillable and there are some internet-based vendors with good inks especially formulated for these printers. If you are so inclined to refill them you can find out about the few good inks and vendors on this ng and on the Nifty-stuff forum. Pay no attention to Measekite who tries to dissuade people from considering aftermarket inks. He has no experience with them but responds with the old, tired, biased statements that others with experience with these products can personally refute. The best solution to your question is to buy a complete extra set of carts. You will then have the one that runs out regardless of which one it is. I always have at least one spare of each color on hand. This also gives you the opportunity to refill the carts as they become empty and have them on standby. BETTER YET, if you see an ip4300 on an exceptional sale - something under $100, you will pay little more than the cost of the ink carts it comes with (it uses the same carts as your mP600) and you will then have a spare printhead (the same in both printers) for you mp600 and/or an extra printer on hand in case yours fails! |
