I mostly use my printer for photos, have 15 grandchildren and live in the beautiful Hudson Valley and photography is a big hobby for me, love the beautiful colors in the prints, look professional!! Previous Canon printer could print many pictures at a time, this one takes just one at a time and that is a bit time consuming, liked being able to put the photo paper in, hit print, and go on to the next thing. The cartridges are great though, easy to change, no mess, just wish they lasted a little bit longer for the price.

If you think about it, this is the most expensive fluid in the world, way over gas or any other liquid. I don't mind paying [$]for ink but I expect them to last more than 20 pictures. Those cartridges have like 10 drops of ink in them. Of course is going to run out fast...Very disappointed.

        There should be a package that includes a large black option. I run out of that long before the small black that is included in the package and end up with a backlog of small black cartridges.

        Ink is just too expensive.

        The replacement is quick and easy; the life span seems to short for the cyan and yellow. I usually print in grayscale, but they run out fast anyway...can't understand why. Otherwise, I have been greatly satisified with the Cannon cartridges, but would like to see a price reduction...also, I appreciate the ability to recycle the empties at my local store - Thank You! (and a rebate credit is an added bonus!)

              I would need your zip code to give you accurate pricing in your area, however, the cartridges are approximately $48.00 at this time.

            • A:

              Using the default print mode 200 prints is the minimum. Using the highest resolution settings it would be less, of course, but those figures are not listed at the usa.Canon.com site http://www.usa.canon.com/app/pdf/PrintYield/PrintYield_MX870.pdf

              A:

              It can bleed. The more absorbent the paper the less it is likely to bleed. The less absorbent the more chance it might bleed. Higher end papers sometimes take a moment more to fully absorb and dry. I have been very pleased with daily use and contact with printed material with this product.
              I printed something and then got it real wet (cheap paper) and rubbed it. The ink bleed only a very little.
              I have a printing background and any wet ink has the chance of bleeding. Only non liquid printers won't. I hope this helps.

              All inkjet cartridges I know run when they get wet. You need laser to keep from running.

              Yes, they should work. Look at the back of your "Getting Started=Read Me First=" manual that came with your printer. It shows you the ink tanks that are compatible with your machine. Also, if still under warranty, call toll-free tech support at 1-800-828-4040 Monday thru Friday.
