Canon in general, waste more ink than most others , by a huuuuuge margin . So bad I threw mine in the trash even though it was 2 years old & still working .
Consumer magazine tested ink wasted on quite a few (then) current printers , the differences were an eye opener . I bought a replacement inkjet printer that had very low ink wastage based on
those tests


Leaving it on didnt/doesnt help
if it hasnt printed for a week or so it may spend 2 minutes cleaning (wasting ink) before printing your single page.
I went from Canon to Epsom . The Epson's inks lasted 9+ months on the original low capacity ink carts, plus my newer Epson prints almost instantly rather than waiting 2 minutes that the canon used to take in cleaning before printing.

Canon inkjets didnt used to be this bad in years past, Ive owned a few over the past 15 years. Never again.

1444735 2018-01-12 03:50:00 Why must it have 5 inks? The colours plus black is enough.

Cos I have a LOT of yellow print and a fair amount of Green to do.
It is the 2 way" which is very useful for me but hard to come by.
Cheers.

The repair agent had 3 goes at fixing it.
It has now gone to the tip. :-(

1444739 2018-01-16 20:43:00 The more ink cartridges, saves ink. If you print a lot of garden photographs it uses more greens right or if no green cartridge it's a mix of the 2 or so ... and it uses less red for eg..

The more advanced printers for exhibition work comes in 8 or more cartridges. Better quality also. Inkjets can be better quality than lab prints unless you use a pro lab and use their giant inkjets or their more pro printers.

You can even get kits to convert inkjets to external large inktanks. If you dont mind the risk of a inktank leaking onto your floor :)
