I was looking yesterday at a printer catalog from a local store in search for the last remaining MP520 from Canon (there were non left) and I noticed something.
The MP520 uses 2pl. size ink droplets, the new MP540 (with CLI-521) uses 1pl. size. Does the ink type reflect the droplet size? The MP610 which also uses CLI-8 is 1pl. according to Canon web-site, so does this mean that I can use the same ink that I use for CLI-8 in CLI-521?
So my perception that the CLI-521 is very different from CLI-8's ink is wrong?
Does the ink matter in this picoliter size or it's just all in the printer head. Cause that is what stops me from buying Pixma MP540 - there are no inks available for it in my area but it is full with CLI-8 compatibles (I'm afraid not to clog these smaller 1pl. size nozzles).
And one more thing. I will mostly print on plain A4 paper and sometimes photos. Is there any noticeable difference between 4800x1200 resolution and 9600x2400?
10x! Hope someone can answer.
