iP4200 with cheap cartridges / ink

From the beginning I filled my iP4200 after the original ink was consumed with cheap ink. Took further my old ink from the Canon i350 and S200x until she was exhausted. In total so far flowed about 15 refills through the nozzles. After some practice refilling went without colorful finger. For some time I will spare me the refill and then use already the 3rd movement replica cartridges for about 1 / piece. My account: 15 x 5 cartridges refills x 0.50 (per charge) = 37.50. 3 sentence cheap cartridges x 5 x 1 piece = 15 - together cost me about this 53rd Original cartridges have 18 sets x 5 x piece cost me around 10 / piece = 900. Whether the printer for duplex printing now its liquid mixed together or not, could not care less I at the most reasonable prices. That the text at the duplexes something is horribly, I can accept when otherwise Exel duck quality of printouts. I respect the way, always make sure that the cartridges are really never printed entirely empty. Even a single dry printing (possibly even dry cleaned) can pull the printhead affected. I'd rather fill already on, (or change the cartridge) is still some ink is visible in the container. (My clan uses the device quite often for photo printing). In addition, I check before each start the printer cartridges by removing and view, since the ink display (after filling or use of third-party cartridges) for these no longer funzt. And - what it scratches me if tomorrow morning the print head would break - is then available from the savings later than the evening a new part on the desk. Whether the color fades after 10 years or after 20 years, my itchy little - at any time to such photo can be printed again. The low color has a slight red, green, blue-yellow or other "Stitch" ??? Let times a conventional photo at different laboratories and develop - You notice little (just as with the low print) - put the images side by side but then - only now you may see a difference!

I wish you much fun with your Pixma printers - and - only courage that is part eats more than many believe.

Now we have the Jahrr 2012 - he has faithfully served 6 years. The printer has all the time just splashed Billigsttinte. Through an electronic fault (switches no longer a) he is now unusable and is discarded.
