been a while since I stopped by last, and I was just curious.....
Are there any "new" models (or, old models which are still in production) of Canon printers (preferably which use bci-6 carts, since I always have quite a few on hand) available ?
If not, then how about any brand of good printer, which uses non-chipped carts, which can be bought from an after market cart place, like InkGrabber ?
If these printer companies think they are going to force me into buying there stupidly priced ink, they are quite simply mistaken. If worst came to worst, I'd sooner quit doing my own printing. Heck, why should I, if the ink costs me more, than if I had my photos printed for me ? Sure, "printing is fun" for me..... but so is fishing.... less printing = more fishing ;-)
Oh, and one more thing; I have asked about after market print heads before, and the conclusion was always, that the print heads cost so much, that I might as well buy a new printer..... Uh... Okay fine "if I can still buy it" ! But what if my iP6000D dies (like my i960 did) and I can't find one anywhere ?
I'd sure rather pay $100 for a print head, than to just be flat without of a good printer !
Thank you,
