Canon cartridges do not last long. I've been disappointed in the high cost of trying to maintain a Canon.

I've been using HP products for 14 years but the last 3 yrs, their products have gone downhill to the point where I can't recommend them. I got their first generation Photosmart. It printed great pictures when it worked. The cartridges were 37$ each and they would go bad after a couple of months. The printer also would not pick up the paper properly resulting in an out of alignment print. In addition, the print driver did not print out the correct size with Photoshop. HPs response to this was tough, that's the way it works and we aren't going to fix the driver. Not the company or the quality they use to be.

I've switched to Epson. The 785ex is a great printer and is pretty inexpensive. I got a refurb off the Epson site for 129$ complete. It is a 6 ink printer.
