After being "ripped off" for years, finally decided to purchase another printer. The Canon ink cartridges are MUCH too expensive and they need to be replaced MUCH too often.Now, I have a Epson and I no longer have that problem. Have the Epson Stylus NX215 All in One printer and although I've only had it a short time, I can already tell that I've solved the problem w/ Canon. Also, with the Epson, I can keep track of the ink use for each color.
