| 1334807 | 2013-04-01 01:46:00 | Has anyone any experience of using Computer Food compatible inkjet cartridges and how good they are? Cost of replacing Canon Pixma printer cartridges is just too expensive. | Krad (7878) | ||
| 1334808 | 2013-04-01 02:03:00 | Personally I Never trusty compatible or refilled cartridges. I once got a Compatible toner for my laser from Computer food, damn thing leaked toner everywhere when it was installed, contacted them and they sent another which didn't work either, ended up getting an original and it worked perfectly. Normally I'll get genuine from computer food and they work perfectly, I was only got the compatible because I was a bit short on cash at the time as the originals were expensive. |

| 1334809 | 2013-04-01 03:23:00 | I used ConputerFood cartridges on our old Epson C61 for years. Quality seemed good and the service is great. How well things go does seem to vary from brand to brand of the printer though - not sure about Canon. | johnd (85) | ||
| 1334810 | 2013-04-01 17:24:00 | I've used 'cloned' cartriges and / or ink refils (Calidad) for ages on my old Canon without issues. However, some products are definitely not worth touching, as was the case with the CISS Continuous Ink Supply System (Melco). Can't recall who I got my cartriges off last time - bought heaps via Trademe, but all was good. The first thing I research when looking to buy a printer is the availability of cloned cartriges, and the 'thirst' of the printer. Some of the PIXMA models are thirsty beasts... hence I'm still on my old i550. |

| 1334812 | 2013-04-02 02:04:00 | Rebuilt toner cartridges can be rubbish if not overhauled properly. Refilled Ink tanks are usually fine, as long as they don't leak. Just don't expect the ink to have anywhere near the quality of genuine ink. The generic stuff will fade and degrade much faster. |

| 1334813 | 2013-04-02 02:32:00 | Ive found the non genuine colour inkjet carts are usually no where near as solid looking, they look faded from day1 in comparison. Also, I allow for a 30% failure rate in non-genuine,I just factor that into the cost. Allways remove non genuine inks if trying to get a printer repair under manufacturers warranty. Remanufactured toner carts can be as good or better than genuine if remanned properly. Thats more expensive so its often done as cheaply as possible,hence the issues. .(reman of toner carts used to be my job a while back) |

I will test some compatibles to check the results. |
