Less expensive ink is a good alternative

I thought I was saving money but ended up having to buy a new printer because these off-brand cartridges ruined my printer...clogged my head and printed in mono colors (sometimes all pink, sometimes all yellow, sometimes all green...a total mess)...I bought an HP printer after attempting to correct the problem to no avail. It may have been a coincidence, but the printer started acting up after I started using these cheaper Staples cartridges. Canon warns to only use Canon ink and they were right in my case.
Comments about Staples® Color Ink Cartridges Compatible with Canon� BCI-3e, 3/Pack:
I purchased this cartridge set at my local Staples because they were out of the Canon cartridges, and these cartridges were the only ones available for my printer.
I installed them in my Canon printer, and the next time I tried to print, the printer did not work at all. I went through all the troubleshooting steps for printing, with no luck. I upgraded the printer SW/drivers, still no luck. Finally an error came up saying "unrecognized cartridge found". I uninstalled the Staples brand cartridges, leaving 1 genuine Canon one behind (the black one), and immediately the printer started working again.
These are not compatible. Will not purchase again.
Comments about Staples® Color Ink Cartridges Compatible with Canon� BCI-3e, 3/Pack:
Works well and produces decent prints and photos. It would be nice to get recycle credit that doesn't expire, since I don't replenish ink often enough to take advantage of the rebate. The cartridges are easy to install and they are a good value compared to the brand name ink cartridges.
