Canon Pixma iP4300 at Staples - $60.00 after $40. MIR.

[Zepper]

Starts tomorrow morning - Feb. 18, 2007. Probably online as well as the starting price is the same. I really like mine. Enjoy!

And the pic in our "Sunday" circular has a little red diagram pointing to "Card Slots" - well, there are no card slots on the iP4300, just a PictBridge connector.

Not a bad buy on a good printer. (I have the iP 4200) However, isn't thae rebate only if you buy TaxCut software?

I have two iP 4000's which I love. Carts are cheap `$10, separate cart for each color and clear so you can *see* how much ink is left, and they are not "chipped"

I have two of the iP4200's still in the box and the carts are higher priced and if I am not mistaken are "chipped".

Out of all the HP's, Espons and NEC printers I have had these Canon's are by far the best. I also have two of the ML-2010 laser and they are great also (unitl I have to buy toner).

😕

Where'd you see that?

Printer rebate does not require buying any tax software.

Yup. Chipped they are. But for $60 after MIR, still a good deal.

That said, hope my i850 never dies on me.

EDIT >>>>

You can get inexpensive generics at Swift Ink for the iP 4200 and iP 4300.

Tempting... but do I need a Photo Printer? Don't even have a camera.

hmm will make a good gift though

 

[SuperNaruto]

The IP4000 rocks. I use mine for CD/DVD direct printing.

Built in duplexer and 2 paper trays. I keep 32lb letter paper in the upper tray, and 4x6" in the lower cassete. Great edge-2-edge printing!

The IP series after 4000 are all chipped (fairly certain)...which is a bummer, and I think you can't CD/DVD print with these models anymore.


Anyhoo..... if you have an older HP printer, you'll really like this as they print soooo much faster.

SuperN,
I would say most don't use OEM ink on the chipped machines after the original set runs out. I just put the first of my Swiftink tanks in after about 4 months. One still has to do the chip transplant from the OEM to the clone tank. IDK when they'll have the chip cloned but they're supposed to be working on it.

BoomerD,
. There is no connection with any other product - buy the printer, get the rebate.

IDK about the CD/DVD printing.

Got it...sorry, mised it at the bottom of the available rebate page...UNDER all the tax-cut rebates.

Thanks for the tip on this one. Since the least I have been able to get a full set of replacement carts for is 55$-60$, I wait for sales like this and just get a new printer. There was a Staples down the street so I ran down at 10:00 and got the one they had.

CD printing is available for just about all Canon printers including the Super Expensive Pro9000 model. Click the link in my signature for more information.

Yeah, Ozz..., a full set of tanks costs about $75. at places like Staples. Makes no sense selling the printer and all for less than the cost of a set of refills, but these rebate offers depend on less than half actually submitting the rebate properly. I get my clone tanks from Swiftink.com for under $20. a full set.

I'm one of the dorfs that uses OEM branded ink in my Canon, here is why.

On my last printers, also Canon's, I started using Staples brand ink. Shortly thereafter the print head clogged irreparably. It happened on both the printers. The replacement head was like $65 so obviously I just tossed the printers.

While it may or may not have been the aftermarkets inks fault, I like my iP400 enough to spend an extra buck or few for Canon ink. The key here is that I only reink perhaps 2 or 3 times over the entire year.

If I am not mistaken it is either Epson or Canon that senses the use of "non-oem" carts and asked the user to OK their use and indicates using them voids the warranty at which point the printer writes something to its flash memory that lets service people know.

That may or may not be true but based on all the other shenanigans printer manufacturers pull, I would not at all be surprised.

What is sickening is that Kodak recently estimated that printer ink sells for between $4,000 and $5,000 a gallon. That should be illegal.

We have this new store that opened here call ?Cartridge World?, suppose to be ?professional? reinkers, franchised I think. What a joke. They charge 50-60% of retail on a new OEM cart just to reink and then people report serious issues that are dismissed when taken back to the store. I stopped in once and it seemed their game was to sell people their generic house brand of ink cart and if that failed, to sell them OEM at full retail. Most people are so ignorant they go for it.

I had them quote some toner refills and they were $30 *higher* than buying brand new ones off the web. Crazy.
