At the advice of some forum members to use ink cartridges from USA Inkjets, I picked up a set of them for my IP3000. I never used the original Canon ink, rather I went straight to generics this time. My USA Inkjets black cartridge finally gave up the ghost after 6 months - that's pretty good, IMO. I haven't ordered any more ink lately, so I decided to crack open my genuine Canon ink that has been sitting in my filing cabinet since my printer purchase.
I rarely, if ever, print a photo from my IP3000, but I print a lot of maps from Streets and Trips. I noticed that street names (in black) seem blurry with the generic ink. I had always attributed it to the printer itself. I used a Canon i850 previously and the text was clearer.
I don't think I'll be buying any more ink from USAInkjets. Has anyone used their ink and SwiftInk's ink back to back? How do they compare? I'd like to support a fellow AT'er if possible, but not if the ink is of substantially lower quality than OEM.
