If you can find it. Anyone know who has full sets for a new Canon Pro 200? At least my snarky snail mail to Canon got an apologetic phone call but no real help. OH Well. Eventually.

I think demand out ran supply for a lot of Canon Ink products. They have had my order for 1 cartridge of Black for a Pro 100 on back order for a month! And last I checked it seemed all the other retailers were out of it too. Probably waiting in some container ship near Long Beach / San Pedro, CA

Epson also uses a counter for # of copies printed It then stops printed in totality with an error message stating that the residue ink pad is at capacity. You then need to replace the 6 ink pads and purchase a reset key. If not you buy a new printer. Just happened to me Price for pads and key equals cost of a whole set of new ink cartridges

I like to print out a lot of the electronic invoices that come so that I have a record or to even remind me to pay them. I cannot believe how many of them come as 3 page invoices so if I print them double sided I waste a second sheet. But on top of that the entire invoice could have come on 2 pages (or even 1) but they space it out for some reason. It makes me view any claims from these organizations about saving resources etc with extreme suspicion.

I have mentioned this several times; if you have an HP printer, look at their cartridge program. It will save you money.

I’ve been refilling cartridges on my Canon for about 4 years. It’s just a general use printer.

That's my suggestion too! Any time I print something I always check to see how many pages, All printers will have a preview window of the page and the number of pages, just select what you want.

That's what I do and I tell it to print in Black only, not color. And I use a color laser printer for coupons, ads, documents, etc. A laser cartridge may cost more than an ink cartridge but it lasts a hell of a lot longer. I have the Canon Pro 100 that I use for photos.

I've gone mostly paperless, making PDF's of almost everything. If I ever need a paper document, that's when I'll print it out. It's allowed me to get rid of two 2" binders. OBTW, I back everything up, multiple ways. It's not hard to do.
