Yes - I am a "frequent printer" - where I am with 40-50 pages per week actually assign almost the "Home User Area" in the current phase of recent months. And there were not some pictures, but sides with open grids and tiny colored markers / icons. The ink required per side therefore remained very limited, I would say about a third of the amount "plain text page".
Nevertheless, the cartridges were after less than seven weeks already half empty! Just for comparison: With my old HP cartridges purchased from a second supplier for just 9 Euro (! All 4 cartridges together) I got along about 3-4 months, at exactly the same pressure requirement (I print professionally always the same, every week) ,
The Canon comes here not even half as far for ten times the money is a bad joke.
The main reason will be the very intense and not suppressible "Head cleaning". If you have the printer and only 2 days of inactivity, the nozzles are cleaned only once - in einm such an extent that after cleaning is eliminated an entire level bar per cartridge! Twice cleaning almost a fifth of the contents of the "XL-cartridge".
This is truly customer rip-off by Canon - stay away!
Who has now already this printer: watch your consumption, calculated by the! For me it was very clear that after 3 months a new printer has paid off.
Should you the "minimum-User" to be in the home, the only from time to time a single page print you enough also significantly cheaper "non-XL version" - the XL ink else also lands most of the Ausblaskissen the printhead cleaning
