Does this printer include ink cartridges? If I buy this printer, does it include a set of b/w and color cartridges?

I just received this product yesterday, and agree that the product description is unclear: I was surprised to see that it does, in fact, ship with the required 61 B&W and color ink cartridges. I was not expecting the product to include the cartridges, so I'd already ordered a set separately (meaning I now have a back-up pair). Either way, they were a "snap" to install. You're not QUITE printing out of the box, though... unfortunately, this product doesn't ship with printing paper ;)

Yes it comes with all 4 colors you see in the picture. Had a brief issue with printer not recognizing ink but got it to work out.

Yes. It prints both. Great printer. I use it everyday. I keep it set to print b/w to reduce costs. Highly recommend.

No, it comes with cartridges about 3/4 full. So plan on buying a little sooner than if u had brand new cartridges... Plus most retailers are promoting and stocking only the XL size cartridges which are a little more money, but worth it for the extra large capacity ink tanks.

The printer comes with a coloured ink cartridge, but it doesn't last for long. The black was the first to run, so a new cartridge had to be bought.

Yes, a full set of ink cartridges is included. You will probably find that the ink cartridges get used up at different rates, so don't buy an extra set until you see what colors your pictures are using up.

Yes it does. It is a starter set so it is not a full on ink cartridge but you will be able to print some pictures.

Yes the printer requires having ALL ink cartridges installed (and none empty) to print, if you run out of a color you cannot print (even in black) until the color cartridge is replaced..

I bought mine a couple years ago and my recollection is that it did come with inks. But I suggest you check with Canon about this as the ink package is about $100.

Mine came with no ink cartridges, so I sent it back. Since this model is silent as to whether it includes cartridges, assume that it will not include any cartridges.

It came with cartridges. So, you do not need to buy them separately until you run out of ink in the cartridges that came with the printer. However, we were printing a lot of colorful "art" projects and got low on ink (certain colors) very fast. It never hurts to have an extra set of cartridges handy!

Yes Cindi, the printer comes with the standard size ink cartridges. However, I would suggest spending just a few more dollars and upgrade to the extra capacity black ink cartridge when the standard size runs out; as most of your printing will be in black. This is a wonderful printer for the money. You should be very happy with your purchase. I love mine.

Ink cartridges came with the printer, but the Black cartridge ran out pretty quickly. Buy the XL ink tanks if you plan to do lots of straight printing.

The printer I received included "starter" black, cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges. They are intended for fewer prints than regular cartridges.

The printer has 5 ink cartridges. You only need to replace the one that runs dry. If the other five still have ink you don't need to replace them. I usually buy them in a package with all 5 included to save money. If you buy them one at a time it usually costs more. Hope this helps.

No, the cartridges are separate. For many inkjet printers there's a cartridge for black and a cartridge for color. For others (like this printer), there's a cartridge for black and separate cartridges for different colors.
