Which ink runs out faster
I have been using Canon i9900 ink jet printer with 8 ink cartridges.
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? Jack |

While I was commercial printing, I would figure 1.5 to 2 light color carts to regular color. I have no idea which colors run out the fastest in my Epson printer, but I do know that the warning pop-up is not to be believed. When the pop-up tells me that I am almost out of a color, and to order a replacement cartridge, I know that I can print an additional few dozen or more prints without a problem. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

My experience over the years certainly confirms that, and I've been refilling them the entire time. (Even replaced the print head once, also.)

My Pixma ip6600d has a chip on the cartridges, have used the genuine Canon CLI-8 for replacements, but there are others on offer for less money that have been re-set. |

I use IP6000 cartriges under $2 ea for 4 printers I have. All older printers mind you. I made sure I bought printers that used these cartriges. Also used to have an all in one unit that used the same cartriges. greg |

As I said the i950 is several years old, and it was made before Canon got the "chippy fever" (pronounced slightly differently in my vernacular, BTW). So I can and have been refilling the entire time, using MIS inks exclusively. I average about 8 refills before having to replace the cartridge with a new one.

Sometimes the difference is hardly distinguishable, however." 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. Allen |
