    Canon = teh winnar

    Got myself a Canon i560 yesterday. All I can say is....awesome.

    Anyway, I now need somewhere to buy replacement carts. I know you can get replacements for £2 or so, but I need some recommendations as I've heard the quality varies a lot. I dont mind paying a little more for carts if the quality is good; I just want to avoid anything too cack.

    So where do you lot get your carts?

    considering the official carts are about 6 quid, why bother with inferior compatibles?

    I'd agree - got an i850 and used valueshop for official carts last time. About 6 quidish and no postage charges.

    I knew I'd get that response.

    I thought the originals were about a tenner; if you can have them for £6, I'll bear them in mind.

    But for most of the work I do I dont need top quality, I'm just looking for the best price/quality combo. How long do the carts last? I dont mind paying for the originals if they last a long time, otherwise I'd probably be happier with an inferior cart and paying £3-4.

    It might seem a bit pointless, but if each cart is £2-3 cheaper than an original, with the amount of printing I do, it adds up to a lot.
