Which of the currently available colour inkjets have good fast output,
yet can take ink cart refills or cheap third party cartridges?

There are no refills that are any good.

I would say any photo capable Canon printer that takes the BCI-6
cartridges. Good luck finding a new one or even a used one for that
matter. After that I would say a Canon printer using the CLI-8
cartridges and you refill them at home.

Here's a excellent price for a canon...

call them first to make sure they will ship this model. amazon.com
sells this for $400.00

You cannot refill these with ink that the printer was designed to take
because nobody can bust Canon's patents.

Probably the easiest to refill, if you are looking for dye inks, as
opposed to pigments, is the Canon line. However, with the newer models
you need to turn off the ink monitoring system and be cautious that the
ink levels do not drop to empty, as the head can become damaged should
you try to run it with an empty cartridge.

Otherwise, you can still find a few sources for Epson style refillable
cartridges from some 3rd party dealers.

There is no good ink and what there is causes trouble.  Just read the posts for a while.

All of the Canon printers that use single color cartridges such as
BCI-6, CLI-8 and PGI-5 cartridges are good choices and they are easy
to refill. A reasonably priced reset device is now available for the
CLI-8 and PGI-5 cartridges is now available. I can also supply
excellent bulk inks for the Canon printers. If you are interested in
details you can contact me at:

I see that Measekite is still telling his old lies about afteremarket inks.
I've read virtually every post regarding Canon printers on this Newsgroup
for more than four years. The usual problems of clogged printheads occur
with both OEM and non-OEM inks. I've replaced one printhead on my i960 in
four an a half years after much heavy use - only using aftermarket inks. My
ip5000 has never used Canon OEM inks and has had no problems in over two
years. I've used inks from MIS and from Precision Colors. Precision Colors
specifies that their inks are Image Specialist - a well known ink
manufacturer that makes many types of inks, including inkjet printer inks.

Measekite has an ip4000 Canon printer in which he has only used Canon OEM
inks. In spite of his never having used aftermarket inks he posts negative
information as if he has personal experience with these products. He has a
pathological need to continually post these negative statements in spite of
the fact that those of us who have had very positive results and no printer
damage had tried to logically explain to him the errors in his statements.
Apparently, he just enjoys provoking responses and his behavior is as a
classic internet "troll". Most of us have him "kill filed" and never see
his posts unless they are repeated in a response.
