Cartridge world are expensive for compatible carts. I enquired today and
their price for CLI-8 compatibles is £6 each which is only about £2 cheaper
than the OEM product. I have started using compatibles from Cartridge
Factory, which cost less than £1 each for CLI-8s. Generally, photo printing
results are satisfactory but I have had some odd messages popping up from
the printer which I attribute to possible errors in reading the transferred
chips. For example messages that I have installed two or more cartridges of
the same colour when clearly this is not the case. Removing and replacing
the carts in exactly the same place one at a time has so far removed the
message. I have also had some difficulty in disabling the ink monitoring
functions. I also had one cart which released a flood of ink when I removed
the tape covering the nozzle.
