Saving on printer ink - Network World: "Saving on printer ink

Some time ago we needed to do some high-quality photo printing. After much research we decided on a Canon i9900 inkjet printer, which got great reviews and excellent user ratings.

When it arrived we weren't disappointed. The i9900 (priced as low as $450) produces outstanding, high-quality prints as large as 13 by 19 inches with a maximum resolution of 4,800 by 1,200 dots per inch at a very acceptable speed (about 50 seconds for a 4-by-6-inch color photo). There's only one problem: the Canon ink cartridges.

To achieve its sensational print quality, the i9900 uses eight ink cartridges - black, cyan, magenta, yellow, photo cyan, photo magenta, red and green. These cartridges hold a scant 15 milliliters (ml) of ink, which means that you run out of one or another cartridge with monotonous regularity. It's not that these are hard or time-consuming to change - it's the cost of the wretched things."
