You can refill your own with kits. Get the generic kits with a drill, syringes, and hole plugs.

See discussion forum at the bottom of the Canon MP600 printer review. Look for comments under topic "Anyone try Canon compatible Ink Yet?"

I think I found a place that sells compatible ink cartridges for the IP4300. It is Atlanticinkjet.com.

I have no experience with compatible cartridges for Canon but Epson has just won a patent infringment suit with the compable cartridge vendors. As a result I suspect that these vendors will be in a world of hurt fighting the manufacturers in court. Especially since these products are a Gilette razor business model. "Give away the razor and sell the heck out of the blades."

With my ip4200, which has the same cartridges, I found it was more economical to purchase a new printer at $65 than buy the 5 Canon replacement cartridges (lowest price about $75 delivered). The 4200 is no longer available so I will wait for the price of the ip4300 to dip below $75 and do the same thing. You pay the same for the ink and get a new printer for free.

Another way to look at it is this way: if you buy the printer for $99.99 and it comes with a full set of new cartridges whose value is $75, the printer itself was in fact worth just $24.99, which is an unbeatable value to me!

GEHA Tuning Kit CT01 comes with the five ink cartriges and five metal contacts in plastic holders. The cost is about 40% less than original Canon replacements.

Unfortunately the Canon MX922 is not listed as one of the printers compatible with the ink that this seller has in his inventory. I'm sure your printer would be listed if they had the ink for it since they're in business to sell ink, but you might be able to contact them and get a response. Go into your Amazon account, choose "your orders", go back to when you bought your other order (6 months, 1914, 1913,etc.,) find the order and hit return item. You won't find an address...(many of these vendors are very small and ship from their homes), but Amazon will forward your message to them...I think. If they have the ink for your printer I imagine that they will respond since you are a potential customer.....if they don't have the ink they may not respond at all. Good luck. :)

This is a "DEATH" Code, sorry. You're SOL like me. Still, Canon makes the best printer. Got rid of the 620 - took the inks out and used it for target practice. I just got the 640, very happy.

I would suggest checking out Canon's web site for ink compatibility, just to be sure.... I think this one might be on their list, but I'm not 100% certain.

They are not; however Amazon sells replacement cartridges for your printer at comparable price - see "5 Pack Compatible Canon PGI-250 , CLI-251, Canon 251, Canon 250 1 Small Black, 1 Cyan, 1 Magenta, 1 Yellow, 1 Big Black for use with Canon PIXMA iP7220, PIXMA MG5420, PIXMA MG5422, PIXMA MG6320, PIXMA MX722, PIXMA MX922.

The IP4300 uses the exact same ink carts. as the IP4200 and IP5200 so replacements are a non issue.

I have found Brother printers to be VERY tolerant of aftermarket cartridges compatible with the specific model printer. This aftermarket (non-OEM) ink is very inexpensive, less than $2 per cartridge if you shop carefully on eBay or Amazon.

Genuine Brother cartridges are about the same as HP, maybe a few more printed pages. The second reason I went with Brother is their printers aren't as picky about using non genuine cartridges as my last HP, which didn't like genuine HP cartridges. I have bought some generic cartridges and in a few months I'll have a better answer. The printer it's self has been working Great!! Wifi works with all my devices! So far, so good! Update: The OEM cartridges last a long time, but I don't use the printer a whole lot. I finally installed some aftermarket cartridges (much cheaper off Ebay) and they have worked FINE and the printer still indicates ink level in the aftermarket cartridges. Great Printer-thanks Brother!!

What type of Cannon printer do you have? I have a Cannon Pixma and can only use the Cannon CL241 for color and the black ink is: PG 240. I have found through my own experience that I cannot use other cartridges and unfortunately most stores do not carry those. I have to order them online and find the best price through Amazon. They are generally pretty good about shipping out quickly and these cartridges are not like HP where you get down 3/4 of the way and will no longer work. These cartridges from Cannon that I use will literally use every last drop and show as if they are completely empty... yet keep on printing. What type of Cannon printer do you have?

that is a very good question. I have an mp470. which uses only canon non-refurbished ink and just a few weeks ago, someone mistakenly gave methe 41 instead of the 31. my printer worked just fine (as far as canon ink seems to go, which is revolting in my opinion). but that's the gistof it.

I'm sorry, but I'm still using the ink cartridges that came with the printer. That said, my experience with refilling cartridges for a Pixma mp500 was way more trouble than it was worth. Canon makes it too difficult to out smart it. You are better off buying equivalent cartridges from amazon at a discount that are ready to go.

The OEM is best to use. That being said I've tried compatible cartridges. Usually it is great, same quality, less cost. However there was a compatible that worked fine but left what looked like a very fine airbrush type mist throughout the sheet. It was not noticeable from a few feet but at reading range became apparent that it was not a clean printout. Hope that helps. I was able to return that cartridge and decided to try refilling the Canon cartridge which worked great.

i buy cheap ink that is compatable with the printer off of amazon. worrying about voiding the warranty is pure folly. they never honor warranties, and a printer is about $100 bucks when the additional warranty is 75% of that. never buy a warranty for anything that costs less than $500---it is a total waste of your money!

i don't know. when i buy a new printer i go right to amazon for compatable ink cartridges. i have found sophia the very best. i suggest you search for compatable ink. fill in complete name of your printer. i hope this is a help to you.

I've been going to Office Max, which sells their own brand of cartridges for this printer (they're actually repackaged and refilled Canon cartridges with an Office Max sticker over top of the Canon sticker). I also wait until Office Max sends out those 20% off grocery bags in my Sunday newspaper and stock up like crazy. I think if you buy the multipacks its cheaper too.

I finally posted my review. I did see the reviews for the iP5200. The most important factor to me between these two concerned the inks - the iP5200 with two blacks, cyan, magenta, and yellow compared to the iP6700 with black, cyan, magenta, light cyan, light magenta, and yellow). That gives me the impression that the iP5200 is intended for general home network printing and the iP6700 is more geared towards workstation-serious photo printing. The only way to tell for sure, though, is to test these two printers side by side.
