I just changed my printer. I chose the system with 4 cartridges .I think to save money, because the colors emptied very irregularly and changing only one by one following the use. Especially the cartridges at Amazon, are very cheap compared to retail. The only complaint I can make to this printer "IT IS LOUD" but is it important? Rendering work is perfect. Photos are also perfect. But having read the tips buyers of ink cartridges, I will not try generics, better market but that clog the printer Color rendering imperfect, and does not drain right.
