Hi, I just purchased a Canon iP4000. It was about half price compared to a
year ago. So it was a good time to buy. My question is, I was planning to
use compatible inks since a set of Canon brand ones would cost me more than
I paid for this printer! Anyone have any experience with G&G brand
cartridges? Are they safe to use? Madison

G & G is one of the generics that doesn't always use the same inks.
Suggest you stick with Formulabs. Since the tanks are so easy to refill,
bulk ink is a good way to go.
http://www.alotofthings.com/ carries Formulabs in bulk and in tanks.

The G & G's brand cartridges I have on hand appear to be of the same
manufacture as Vivicolor brand cartridges, known to be filled with
quality US made Formulabs ink. I have found the color G & G's to be
fine. But I would stay away from the large black BCI-3e though. I
haven't tried Vivicolor's BCI-3e, but the G & G ones use cheaper dye
black instead of pigmented black ink (as per Canon's specs). Big
difference in print quality!

As I haven't found a cheaper substitute cartridge in Canada for Canon's
pigmented BCI-3e, I simply refill with pigmented bulk BCI-3e ink readily
available from atlanticinjket.com. It seems to be identical to Canon's
own in print quality.

A BIG MISTAKE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHO THE MFG/FORMULATOR IS BECAUSE THE
VENDORS WILL NOT TELL YOU. YOU COULD GET THE SAME BAD INK FROM
DIFFERENT SOURCES AND CLOG YOUR PRINTHEAD.

THE ONLY NON OEM INK THAT IS A REAL BRAND IS PANTONE BUT I UNDERSTAND
THEY ONLY MAKE INKS FOR EPSON PRINTERS AND THEY ARE EXPENSIVE.

THE ONLY WAY YOU SHOULD EVEN CONSIDER AFTERMARKET INKS AND SUBJECT
YOURSELF TO THE WHIMS OF THE WHORES IS IF YOUR PRINTLOAD IS VERY HIGH
WHERE CANON INK WILL COST BETWEEN $700 AND $1000 A YEAR. AFTERMARKET
PREFILLED CARTS WILL RID YOU OF THE PAIN IN THE ASS AND MESS OF REFILLING.

FORMULABS DOES NOT SELL BRANDED PREFILLED CARTS. THE WHORES THAT SELL
PREFILLED CARTS WILL NOT TELL YOU WHAT IS IN THEM. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
INTENSIFYING WHAT YOU WANT. REFILLING YOUR OWN CARTS IS A PAIN IN THE
ASS , INCONVENIENT AND A MESS.

Thank you kindly for your reply. I will have a go with the G&G brand then.
Except for the large black. For that one I'll just get the regular Canon
ones for now. I know I can trust you as I googled your recent posts. It's
quite simple that way to separate the good hearted, helpful people from the
trolls of the newsgroup. Madison
