Eats Ink

This printer eats ink up. At $17 for the black ink cartridge and $15 for the colors, it gets expensive. I bought compatible inks at www.inkcloners.com. Tried them out, they work just at well.
Good luck printing!

Another great place to go for inks is www.wholesaletoners.com. I like to print pictures out at home on my pixma mx860, and I don't like having to pay full price for the ink cartridges.
