 Doing a search online for  ink cartridges for   the Canon Pixma i6000D  i found a few places that sell generic ink.
I cannot believe the price difference  on the brand name to some of the no names.
Canon ink cartridges seem to be around $130 fr the six cartridges I need.

One other place boasts how good thier ink is for $16 for the set.
I find this hard to fathom,  and worry they may destroy the printer.
I have heard Costco has good prices and even refill kits.

Normally when the ink emptied I would take the printer back and get a new one, for the $29 extended warranty fee.This was the advice of the sales manager of the store.
So after my 6th printer I  have one I really want to keep, and now need ink.

Who uses generic?
What about colour properties?
Dry times?
Longevity?
Be nice to hear  your  stories on the subject.
