Canon Pixma MP600 printer problem

<< < (5/5)

Xas1953NC:
I always use original Canon inks and can buy them for approx. £9 each. Canon also senses if non-originals have been used as it records the data within the printer so if a service was required they would know of the ink situation even though those who supply non original inks use a re-setter tool to enable the cartridges to be read by the printer. I read quite a few years ago that printers have a bit of circuitry that will render the printer u/s when the circuitry kicks in, probably after about 5 years of use.

Boggin:
Is that £9 per cartridge !

I get my generic ones from www.stinkyink.com but had to replace one with an Epson one as the generic one may have dried up and I only had Epson ones left.

They were bought a couple or so years back so they may have had a shelf life, although the Epson ones were bought shortly before the generic ones.

I think the stinkyink ones cost about £18 for two of each - hate to think what Epson are charging these days for a full set but I don't use my printer as often as I used to.

Xas1953NC:
Yes, £9 per cartridge. I use JustinkandPaper.com and Inkraider as each do particular colours at a reasonable price. I have never had a bad cartridge hence why I think it is my printer playing up and not the inks.

I don't think it's the cartridges either as you would get the strip all of the time - I was just mentioning a problem I had with a generic one.

I suppose £36 for a set of 4 is pretty reasonable for branded cartridges.

Stinkyink's generic price for mine compared to the Epson branded pack https://www.stinkyinkshop.co.uk/epson/ink-cartridges/epson-stylus-sx425w?ref=dropdowns
