Ink for printer (Canon)

Just bought a new printer, but the ink costs nearly as much as the printer itself!
The printer is a Canon MG4150 - really easy to set up, works well etc, but the ink is so expensive. Does anyone have a reliable online source for ink?
I'd need: Canon PG540/PG541
Thanks

Dear OneYorkshireLass,
I have a Canon IP5200 printer and print a lot of digital photographs. I started buying from these guys, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jetplay-CLI-526-Compatible-Cartridges-printers/dp/B0087OTHKU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1340220913&sr=8-3 and cannot fault the quality in any way. I have many photos hanging on the wall here in my office and there is no difference in the quality.
At £9 a set, you can spend your savings on something else no doubt!
I hope this helps.

Just ordered those. I don't normally like compatibles, so lets see the quality.
(Great offer: Each cartridge was only £5.99 with bogof, that is down to £3!)0 -

They are supposed to be £11 each to start with, seems steep for a compatible
Will be interested to know what the quality is like as it is always handy to have a list of good suppliers0
