When Canon sell you a new printer they only give you starter cartridges with it which hold a very small amount of ink in them PG-37 black and the CL-38 colour cartridges. I was using about 3 black and 2 colours cartridge per month and it was costing me a small fortune. I later found out that Canon do a higher yield versions of the PG-37 & CL-38 cartridges which cost only a few pounds more but hold more ink in them than the starter cartridges which I was using before. What you need is a Canon PG-40 on the black which hold 16mls of ink rather than the 5mls of ink that is in the PG-37 starter cartridge and on the colour what you should be using is a Canon CL-41 which holds 12mls rather than the 5mls which is in the CL-38 colour starter cartridge. I can even go one better, I now use a company called advantage online who stock the Canon originals plus British premium compatible PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges which hold 24mls black and 24mls colour. I have used them a couple of times so far and have been quite impressed. I hope you don’t fall into the Canon trap of selling a very good printer (ip1600) at a very cheap price and then trying to charge you load of money for starter cartridges which are nearly empty.

A thousand thanks to the reviewer below (Mrs D Guest) for pointing out that these are small starter cartridges, and that for not a lot more money I could buy Canon’s PG40 and CL41 (for my Pixma ip2600).
I have saved a lot of money on the back of this review – so read it! It’s well known that printer companies sell the printers cheap and rook you for ink, so don’t let them get away with it!

Did a google search on advantage cartridges and yes they are far cheaper if volume is taken into account and free p&p if ordering 2 or more. A word of caution I had purchased the ’38’ colour cartridge from ebay advertised as a refilled one, well it lasted a few small print outs before indicating empty.

I am very happy with Canon Cartridges as they are cheap, I spend between £8 (black) and £12(colour) on a cartdrige which is an improvement from what I used to pay for other brands(£25), now it’s not a fatality when the ink runs out… The quality is as good as any other cartridge, no complaint there either:-) I am a happy customer, I put 4 stars instead of 5 as I just wish there was more ink in the container but we can’t have it all ha!!

Just to say the product was delivered promptly and as you’d expect of the quality you expect from Canon.
