I have ordered from them for ink for my epson R800. I ordered two sets of
cartridges, it cost me 50 dollars appriximately. They are OEM type of
cartridges, about 2.99 a peace. I received my order in less than seven
business days.
They might get shut down however, unless all of us band together and make
sure Epson, HP and all the rest don't keep wining court cases allowing them
to be shut down. Every other thing on this planet I think has compation,
well the oil companies don't, the printer ink dudes should have lots of it.

That's what I like about Canon 3 and 6 series ink cartridges. There are
no electronics. They're just two-chambered clear plastic cartridges.
You can even refill them with without worrying that the cartridge will
still claim to be empty since the printer detects the ink level optically.

Measekite, I don't believe you. This same friend who you speak about
has had their epson replaced twice during the warranty period. So if
they printed over 1000 CDs it would have been done one three printers.
Now I would believe 300 CDs, that seems to be about the limit before
the waste tank becomes full, perhaps more if you are very careful, hot
swap the cartridges, or employ an external waste tank. Then it's
possible.
It's unfortunate you are taking this cross posted thread from a person
looking for legit advice and using it to spread lies.
I printed 536 cds on my ip3000... I know this because I printed a
service report.

i think hp and epson have every right to protect their patents from
sleezeballs
canon finally did something about that. while i do not like having to
pay more for a chip they did have that right. i wish that a reputable
mfg/formulator would make and label and sell under all venues including
on line a high quality prefilled cart that could be tracked, tested,
reviewd and would sell for about $5.00 or less per cart. that might
drive down the oem price to about $6.00 or $7.00 and give users a real
choice.

Well, obviously if I were doing 1,000 of something it would easily be
worth $1,000.00 or more not to have to handle each one individually.
In my case by "best" I meant "best results for least amount of
expenditure."

is selling them and saying for God's sake don't tell Canon if you use
them.
I'm about sold on the Canon. I don't like the idea of "expensive ink,
slops all over the place, then won't work until after complicated
cleaning" with the Epson, plus I already have an Epson I'm half afraid
to use because of the cost of the ink and how quickly it goes through
it.

BTW... What Epson are you talking about?
If you're talking about the lowly R300, then I very much doubt that you'll
get 1000 CDs--unless you have very little printed on them. I have the Epson
R300, and used it for CDs before I had the Rimage. While it did a pretty
decent job, the color vibrance wasn't anything even close to the Rimage, and
the tray mechanism was problematic. --Any time you try to print the first
disc, the tray flies all the way through, then moves all over the place. -I
would have to just assume this...cancel the first print...then start over,
at which point it would work. But it did this EVERY SINGLE TIME I would
start a new job. -What a pain.
I am an Epson fan, but not for CD/DVD printing mechanisms.
When you reported getting 1000+, I assumed you were talking about some
larger printer. If you're talking about something similar to the R300, then
I highly doubt you'd get that many through it on one set of carts.

Canon is perfectly aware of this. They have taken the time to ask
companies like "parts now" to not sell the tray, and oddly enough they
were selling the tray them selves for a very short time in December. I
believe Canon's issue is they don't want to shell out for Phillips'
patent fee, but if people are buying their printers to use a feature
they don't have to pay extra to provide, I imagine they are quite
happy. http://pixma.allhyper.com/
The r200 should be little different than your rx620.
You have a few choices as far as Canon goes. I was going to bring up
the ip6000, their 6 tank model, but it looks like it's totally off the
market.
ip8500 - This is last years model, fetches between $300 and $400. 8
tanks and of those 8 tanks you can replace Cyan, Magenta, and yellow at
$9.60 if you buy the 3 pack, as in a Cyan Magenta Yellow pack. 3 packs
of the other colors, which are Black, Green, Red, light cyan and
magenta are $32 per 3 pack, as in one of the same color. If you buy
them elsewhere expect $12 to $12.50 each. This is a top notch photo
printer, just not currently in production, so you have to buy one off
one of the seedy resellers on froogle.com.
ip6600 - 6 tanks. Very good photo printer, but takes the newer inks
which cost $14ish each, and uses light cyan/magenta like candy.
Fetches about $200ish. Fancy screen, cardslots.
ip5200/4200 $130ish for the ip5200, $80ish to $100 for the ip5200. The
big black costs about $17, and the rest cost about $14 each, so a given
refill will cost you $73 or so. I'm just getting into mine and i'm
very very very impressed. In contrast to my mp760 I notice far less
grain, esp when it comes to rendering skys.

If you buy Epson ink then yes, it's overpriced. I buy ink tanks from Supermedia Center for < $30.00
for 2 of each color for my R220. That's 12 ink tanks. It's C&G or G&G brand, everyone sells this
brand. I've been using it for several years now on my former Canon 6000 (died) without problems.
I hope I have as good luck with my R220.

Canon won't say, as it is in their interst not to.
See:
http://pixma.webpal.info/Pixma345/345.html
and
http://pixma-faq.periastron.com/index.html
You basically:
Obtain or fabricate CD tray.
Remove inner cover lid (optionally replace with roller piece)
Adjust printer service menu for a location that uses Letter paper and CD
printing.
Adjust registry for CD printing, or install european driver.
Install CD printing app.

For the benefit of cmashields:
zakerzuke does know what he is speaking of, he is a real user.
Yes, Canon is better at not wasting ink with cleaning cycles.
OEM vs aftermarket ink has nothing to do with it, as good aftermarket ink
is just about as good as OEM.

In a production line, true, but over time,it might not be as bad, if you do
a couple a day or so.
