All depends on what you're printing. There's about 0% yellow in a picture of a sky, but a picture of a person for example would use a tremendous amount of yellow ink as the printer would dither yellow to make the flesh tones. Assuming that the subject of said photograph was white/asian

Some people aren't happy unless they are "pissed".

I have editted my above posts because I feel I did over react to a situation. I was pleasantly surprised that my email was answered so quickly and that they were willing to over compensate for their error. If I receive the refund, then I will definetly deal with these guys again. They made a mistake and have owned up to it and seem to be willing to make the amends...bravo to MonterInk.com!!:beer:

At that price it's generic. OTOH, it's time for you to upgrade that printer to a i850 $89 refurb at outpost.com) or a i560 ($99 at Sams) or if you're really on a budget Staples is closing out the i550s for $69 and look for a coupon on thin wallet(cough). I'd get the i560 or the i850 though.

man, that is so depressing. i just bought the i550 6 months ago for $150. it's a great printer but of course now it's behind the times and i'm wanting an i950. sometimes i hate technology!

I'm in the same boat as you, JoeCool. I bought my 550 when it came out on a Hot Deal here for $150. Its a good printer-lightyears better than the Epsons I've owned in the past-but its a real bummer to see it for one-third the price in less than a year.

yeah, what's really obnoxious is that, as great as that printer was/is compared to many others available 6 months-1 year ago, it's been similarly eclipsed by the latest models. grrr!

The price is good, but only $1.80 less than Megatoners on my $50 order for Epson C60, C62 and 785. I ordered from Megatoners Tuesday night and got the order on Thursday.

 

[joecool]

how's the quality of megatoners ink?

 

[mikeford]

My only trouble with cheap ink, Sepoms from Japan in a Epson C880, is that I don't print very often and after a couple weeks of no printing I need to run a cleaning cycle or two.

At this price though, who cares, so I ordered 4 sets.

They are fine, just like any other generic ink I had used before. I honestly can't tell the difference in quality between generic and OEM ink.

Seems like a super deal to me, bought 2 sets of C82 cartridges for $28.40 shipped, the OEM black alone costs me $34.99...what a deal!!!

This is from the issue on news stands right now. It says generic ink produces quality prints but tends to fade and clog print heads. This is not the propoganda that printer companies give you -- they did some research on various inks. Personally I have used generic ink for some time and have noticed both the fading and the clogging. It has never deterred me in the past, but now that I have several Epson inkjets that seem picky about the ink (and that don't include print heads in the cartridges), I think I am going to switch back to OEM ink.

Blah.. who cares when someone can get a Cannon I320 for like $25 AR. The freakin thing's disposable. I can understand someone would be timid when they use $1 generic ink on their spiffy new I850, but seriously.. some of us doesn't really care if it clogs it up after 10 carts of generics.

Retail Black ink costs about $6
Generic Blacks $1.50
For 10 carts, you save $45

Cost of printer $30 AR

So you'll be saving yourself $15 even if the printhead craps out on 11th cart.

FYI, Canon will replace the printhead if it dies. I have two Canon i320's - both have used ink from megatoners from the beginning. One of them is still going great (over 3K pages) and the other had printhead issues. After getting a new printhead that was defective (under warranty, shipping paid) they sent a new printer (again, shipping paid both ways.) The new one has been running strong for over a month now. A bit of a hassle yes, but I was impressed with the service for a $30 printer! (Also FYI, there was no mention or question of what ink had been used during the warranty process...)

 

[HonkeyDonk]

has anyone gotten their orders yet?

 

[DJMiX]

How do you get your canon head replaced?
By phone? webpage? any info would be great my cyan doesn't print any more.

 

[Macro2]

Call Canon...
no. at Canon.com

Don't tell them you used generics. Hopefully you have the orginal cartridges too.

--------------------------

Did you a couple of deep cleanings first? That's what they will tell you to do.

I tried by phone 2 years ago, they wanted $90.00 for a new printhead. So I just went out and got a new printer..
