    Is there a place to buy Genuine Canon ink in bulk?

    Sep 28, 2021 Update. Hi startman, I noticed that there are many types of knock-off ink available some of the big 13x19 ecotank printers like the "EcoTank Photo ET-8550" Do you think we could get away with getting one of these EcoTank printers, and then using ink like this guy sells...

    Is there a place to buy Genuine Canon ink in bulk?

    is that a thing? eek i'll have to watch for it. ya we're in a weird niche wherein we print enough 13x19 canvas to not be considered "personal home users," but we don't do quite enough printing to rationalize upgrading to a more sophisticated operation -- with a better 13x19 printer. The cool...

    Is there a place to buy Genuine Canon ink in bulk?

    That's true you helped me a lot ! I looked into Staples. It looks like they do give 25% back. But it's on your Staples Reward card. So I think it's store credit. But still, 25% is a lot if you spend 1000 bucks. I could probably let it build up, buy a Staples laptop, and then sell it on eBay...

    Is there a place to buy Genuine Canon ink in bulk?

    Oops I meant "canon" not "epson" above. Yikes this sounds like an involved process. The point of buying the genuine ink in bulk was to avoid messing with the refilling process. (I'm not a very good refilling technician still.) Ideally, we just want to print and throw the cartridge in the...

    Is there a place to buy Genuine Canon ink in bulk?

    hi, its the Canon Pixma iX6820 I'm ok with buying many of the same color. Are you saying i should buy this, but then get the ink out of the bottle and put it into a refillable cartridge? Is that possible? http://amazon.com/dp/B0101SY4GQ Don't those Canon bottles have that weird top to them?

    Is there a place to buy Genuine Canon ink in bulk?

    Obviously, I have always used the typical Amazon link when i buy genuine Canon ink. http://amazon.com/dp/B00ATZ9K02 But i'm just wondering if there is some "bulk order" button buried on the Canon website someplace where I could buy in bulk? e.g. If i really wanted the genuine stuff, do i gott...

    Need a printer for 10,000 (moderate quality) 13x19 prints a year

    With our Artisan printer, I think we did the software reset a half dozen times. Plus we use the external tank kit -- which we would dump out a couple times a month. With the Canon Pixma iX6820 we haven't even attempted to do waste ink management yet. I'm assuming it'll be an issue soon though...

    Need a printer for 10,000 (moderate quality) 13x19 prints a year

    Yes we used to use the software + external tank method for our Artisan printer. With the Pixma iX6820 though, we haven't even bothered yet. Maybe we'll have an overflow event someday. But the Pixma iX6820 is so cheap that I don't really care yet. The idea goal would be to find something...

    Need a printer for 10,000 (moderate quality) 13x19 prints a year

    Hi, i'm confused about this message. Are you saying in can increase the number of pages i can print with my Canon Pixma iX6820 by using the ink from the Canon PIXMA G5020? How would this work?

    Need a printer for 10,000 (moderate quality) 13x19 prints a year

    I definitely don't mind buying and running two simultaneous printers. I also understand we need an array of cartridges that are ready to hot swap. Mostly my goal was to not have to babysit the printers so much. With our current Canon Pixma iX6820, the ink cartridges are so tiny that we're...

    yes paper feeding is definitely an issue The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-16600 has a small rear feeder slot. But i don't think we could put more than 3-4 pages in there. (Maybe I could jerry rig my own SIY rear slot though... hmm... I could build some sort of paper shelf...) It looks like the Epson...

    Thanks for reading my post! We've had a decade of bad printer luck and I'm hoping you guys can recommend a good alternative. About Us We print 13x19 art prints -- on 13x19 pre-cut canvas inkjet paper. Can't change this requirement. e.g. we can't use printer rolls. We need to print about...
