? Good alternative ink cartridge for Canon inkjet printer.?

Would any of this community recommend using alternative ink cartridges or do you think they damage the printer.


Has anyone found a good cheaper cartridge for Canon Inkjet printers? I have the Canon Pixma iP1700.


I must add that I have only just purchased this cheap little printer and it is really good - its quiet, fast and performs to a high quality on standard settings. Only drawback is that the ink cartridges are so much more expensive than than my old Epson.? Good alternative ink cartridge for Canon inkjet printer.?
Yes. Using other ink cartridges can damage the printer, especially the refillable ones. USE GENUINE ONES ONLY. From experience, if you continously use non genuine ink cartridges, quality begins to dimish. Examples are you can clearly see lines in the printout, clogged printer, different coloured picture etc. Never use non genuine brands? Good alternative ink cartridge for Canon inkjet printer.?
A Friend of mine recently purchased from this company below.They helped and the cartridges are working well so far.You should give them a try. INK722XG will give 10% off of your order.
Remanufactured cartidges shouldn't damage your printer. With re-fill kits, you have to be careful with them, but if you do things properly, you can re-fill your old cartridges a few times before you have to buy a new one.


You'll probably be more concerned about the quality of the ink. Some of them might not be smudge proof and water proof. Also, the newer Canon inks are supposed to be more fade %26amp; chemical resistent than the older Canon cartridges.


You can also try to find places that will refill your cartridge for you. The good thing about those places is that they have a money back guarantee. Look in your local Yellow Pages for these places, or see if this company has a franchise in your city:

Using cartridges that are not Canon brand will NOT void the warranty on your printer. Read this:





Many consumers are worried if the use of compatible or aftermarket printing supplies will void their printer's warranty. The answer is no.





More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.

Try Overstock.com. They are about 1/2 the price of original cartridges.


Good Luck,

Try canon compatible cartridges or re manufactured Cannon cartridges . Just google for suppliers. Most people find these satisfactory. The printers are sold dirt cheap or included in systems and they make their money from the sale of very expensive ink. It is often cheaper to replace a canon printer for the new cartridges, than buy a replacement set of cartridges.
I have found that there are no really good generic ink cartridges. They clog much easier and you spend all your time cleanning the heads of the printer. Stcik with the Canon ink, it also keeps your warranty valid.
