Simon, Clitheroe

Score 6.0/10

+ Cheapest available for this product but I cannot give it 10/10 (see below on bad points)

- Don't need any more 'free' paper. Ink prices still very expensive (I know, 'cheap' printers have to be paid for somehow) but the base price for these cartridges has gone up much more than inflation in 6 months. 2 full sets is nearly the cost of a new printer. It is about time the price of inks was made more realistic, especially if the manufacturers want to encourage people to print photos.

+ Best colour reproduction, would never use compatible inks only original. Also only use Canon photographic papers and Canon printers, they are the best. Have had other makes of "Lab.Quality photo printers" but Canon is far the best.

- As always inkjet cartridges are pricey. However, this is a good deal.

- The inks last such a short time, 'COSTLY'. This affects us our son has lot of collage work printed from our machine. that is without the use myself and my husband have of the printing process.
We are seriously thinking of purchasing a different make of printer.

Score 7.0/10

+ It was cheaper than buying the coloured cartridges singly

- I find the cost of print cartriges extortionate - all you are paying for is a small amount of ink which must cost Cannon pennies to produce but they make it very difficult to use any other cartridges other than their own. I would not object to using Cannon cartridges if they halved the price as even then they would be making large products on these items.
