Comments about Canon CLI-226 Gray Ink:

I picked up the Canon PIXMA 6220 for my wife (and myself) as she does scrapbooking and being able to print out excellent photos whenever she wants is great. When printing photos though, the ink does disappear fast though. Replacing the ink cartridge is super easy and there is a LED on the cartridge to let you know which ones need to be replaced and whether or not it was installed correctly. The cost isn't too back compared to other ink from different printers. Depending on how much use we might go to a continuous inking system though.

Comments about Canon CLI-226 Gray Ink:

I never will understand why Canon uses two black ink cartridges and a gray one. Why not use black at lower density. I have no problems with these cartridges.

Q:
If CLI-226 Gray is an option, can you print without it? I cannot seem to continue printing when it ran out.
Why is it not included with the multi pack of other inks?

As per Canon : to access CREATIVE PARK PREMIUM from a qualifying Canon printer, all of the software that came with the printer and the full set of compatible genuine Canon ink tanks must be properly installed. When any of the inks have run empty, you will be unable to use the printer until that ink is replaced.
