Source for any Empty CLI-8 Cartridges?

[dparadowski]

Has anybody found a source for empty CLI-8 Cartridges? I want to have a backup set prefilled so I can just swap out as I need to. I haven't seen any emptys for sale, but if worse comes to worse I could by a set of so generic prefilled and purge all the old ink out and refill with mine. Any suggestions/current users set up would be greatly appreciated.

I have listed my empty set on eBay: 250051888776

I have enough empty cartridges to make 5 sets but only have one CLI-8BK cartridge at the moment. For some reason this one takes the longest to empty.

If the new Canon printers that use chipped cartridges are like the older Canon printers, the CLI-8BK (like the BCI-6BK) takes a long time to empty for two reasons: it is never used on plain paper if your printer also has a pigment black cartridge and it is only used on photo paper for the very darkest part of an image.

If you're interested in naming a price on those carts and can give me a postage price to the UK I might be interested..

Happy to bid as normal though but the postage for all 5 sets (minus the CLI-8BK's is fine)..

Cheers
