I had for many years a iP5200. The cartridges I filled mostly by himself. The new iP4950 is the no longer so easy as the new cartridges are no longer transparent. So you do not know when they are empty or when filling full. The printer here was cheaper and provided many cartridges (transparent) which should hold for a while at first once. Original cartridges I will anyway not buy because they are too expensive.
The supplied cartridge make a good impression. Meanwhile, I have printed up a charge and can not complain. Also photos look good. Black Legend, however, seems to me to run more, despite high-quality paper (quality and fibrillation of the paper is also critical!). Those who want but have a really perfect expression probably have to buy the expensive originals. Fully for normal everyday use and quite enough!
