Please correct this if wrong, i took the infromation from the net.
"Volume 1 gallon = 3785 cc = 3785 ml = 768 teaspoons = 256 Tablespoons = 231.0 cu in = 128 fl oz = 16 cups = 8 pints = 4 quarts = 3.784 liters"
Based on this if caculated that out of a galon of ink 3785ml there are 140.2 Black BCi-3 canon ink tanks which has 27ml , and 291.6 color cartrige each has 13ml in them. (this is based on the BCI-6, and BCI-6 ink tanks) at the current cost.
The following informaton i got from the bestbuy web sigh BCI-3 ink tank single are $14.99, color cartirges are $12.49 for C,M,Y. Note these are single tank prices. Therefore i came up with the follow figures 140.2 cartirges for black at $14.99 is $2102.60 per gal. Color cartriges is 291.6 at $12.49 is $3642.08. Talk about getting riped off with out being kissed........
I only caculated the price for a four color printer; if you have a six color printer the cost goes up. I not trying to piss anyone off but if my caculation are correct: ink is more valuable that gold!
I have reloaded canon printer ever since the bjc-600. I would buy the 4 color sets for about $45.00 for 4 ounce bottle of each color. The most i ever got was from the 4400, of which i used up 2/3 bolles of black ink before it quit printing., my i850 i used about 4/5 of each color, and one + bottle of black before it quit. (i believe the bottle are 4 ounce, in on bottles stated will get 4 refills for black, and 8 for color) I never waited till cartriges were completele empty before i refilled the cartirges.
I not trying to start a war.......but talk about getting ripped off. Do the printer manfactures think that each and ever one of us are idiots. While i am talking about the manufacturs any one know what happened to epson lawsuit?
Well i think that i have ranted enoght.
