I use this ink for two years. I never tried it generic (although it also produces rather good), because the paper is too expensive for that the keeper (I use the brand for Tecco gloss and Canson to the mat). Ink, paper? It lacks the essential: the printer. And I speak with enthusiasm! The IP 100 Canon travel everywhere with me because it's the size and weight of my MacBook: the two go together in the same bag (a schoolbag) even accompanied a hundred sheets of paper photo A4, maximum size of the printer. Moreover, the 100 IP is truly autonomous thanks to its high performance battery, alas sold separately. It will be understood that I photograph a lot and everywhere. Canon IP 100 serves me regardless of where I am, of "test bed" for my future in large format proofs. Much better than any computer screen with sparkles and chromatic fantasies, prints obtained with this small device just give me an idea that I will get pictures (do not forget to take out the paper package the utility color code to be inserted into the computer to the printer is impeccably set). And then, after all, between two gallery exhibitions, I like to browse any of my "albums Trash-to-paper." The A4 is already a comfortable size, very convenient, and IP 100 deserves to be, if we do not require large formats, the first and even the only printer. A last word: do not fear the relatively high price of the two cartridges (the 36 color and 35 black): The IP 100 is a real camel. I can not specify the number of prints that can be obtained, as this varies depending on the richness in colors from the image, but it goes a long way with only one "full", especially as the cartridge " 35, black "is practically not use in photographic printing.
