Would someone please post a web sight to buy good quality CLI-8 ink. I must

My wife is into scapbooking and she has never complained about fading or off color prints for the past several years we have used after market ink. I have never experienced any problems either. Why on Earth would I pay over $50 more for EVERY SET of cartridges that goes into our printers?

IMO, you are better off refilling the CLI-8 cartridges due to the chip
placed in them. Otherwise you have to peel the chip off the old cart
and stick it on the new cart. Refilling involves less hassle, IMO.

There is none. Canon has a patent on the new formulae. All the claims
are lies.

It is a real nuisance and you get crap, not the ink the printer is
designed to use.

Measles,

Curious, do you pruchase tires for you car 'only' from the dealer?

And the fuel only from brand name stations?

That is a dumb question usually from someone adherent to the church of
the inky stinkies.

If I think that Michelin tires are the best then it really does not
make any difference where I get them as long as the price and service
are satisfactory. Now as long as you get CLI-8 Canon ink it does not
make any difference where you get if from either.

It does not hold true from getting crap ink like many here do.
