You’ve maybe had the same eyebrow-raising moment that I’ve been through more often than I care to remember. You buy a reasonably priced inkjet printer, thinking you’ve made a sound financial choice. You get it home and install it, only to find that the ‘setup cartridges’ run out in no time at all, and a replacement set of cartridges costs as much or perhaps even more than the printer.
Like other Canon ‘MegaTank’ printers, this one turns that unfortunate trait of inkjet printing well and truly on its head. It’s relatively pricey to buy but runs on bottles of replacement ink to replenish the high-capacity tanks, with no cartridges in sight. Indeed, the bottles of ink, as supplied with the printer, are sufficient for printing as many as 6,000 mono and 14,000 color document pages. Switch to Economy mode and you should get 9,000 mono and 21,000 color documents.
