    I've the 4800-2400 canon 965i and have never bought a cartrige still on the orignals. Just top up with Ink.

    Get the microfiltered stuff that is identical to canon's. I use selectafont for ink and euroinkjet for refil kits. selectafont inks are not cheap but then a new head costs alot!

    I've had the printer 18 months refilled >20 time no problems heavey usesage mainly photos!

    The Inkxl cartridges sold by https://www.northdevoncomputers.com/shop give me equal results to the canon originals.
    Compatible ink cartridges from 87p each here

    ok I'm torn between choice stationary and northdevoncomputers now :( .
    I think the best thing will be to try the northdevon colour cartridge, or maybe try choicestationary AND northdevon to compare the results.
    I liked choicestationary free delivery option, shouldnt be too excessive anyway.

    Has anyone tried both these brands?.

    thx :)
