It seems to me that it uses PhotoMagenta ink faster than any others.
I might be wrong on that but how about your ink printer? =A0 Jack
Canon made the dam tanks so small that you will find you always need a
new cartrige and PM is what I also use alot of. Cost of printing is
alot more I believe than my 2 tank HP printer. Its like the canon
system just does not have real ink capacity, im always running out of
one or more tanks.


I'm still using a several year old Canon i950 with six color
cartridges. The manual for it clearly states that the yellow will go
fastest, then the photo-magenta and photo-cyan will go next fastest.
My experience over the years certainly confirms that, and I've been
refilling them the entire time. (Even replaced the print head once,
also.)

I have a Canon ip6700, which I like very much as I don't ant to make any
prints larger than 8.5X11. I use almost three PM cartridges for each
yellow. PM requires replacement much more often than any other color,
and yellow is at the bottom, by a large amount.
