Digital BW, The Print

Yes,  Roger, the Small Gamuts have been available in Canon 9000 cartridges 
for a month or two, and they produce very nice images.  They're just too 
expensive for me to use on a regular basis, as I do about 1500 8x10 size 
prints a year, mostly at Christmas.

I've been reloading cartridges with Inkjet Goodies color inks for a few 
months, and have had enough success to put up with the fact that I can't 
swap in a full cartridge without having to do nozzle checks and cleaning 
cycles, something I NEVER have had to do with Canon brand ink.  But the 
price differential is so dramatic that I put up with the hassle.

Lyson Small Gamut inks have been available in bulk for Epson printers for 
some time, and I'm assuming the prices for Canon printers will be 
similar.  If my assumption proves out, the saving will be about 80% 
compared to filled cartridge prices (i.e., 80% less for a home filled cart 
than a factory filled one.)

I'm hoping.

Cheers,
Kip
