which third party ink is the best replacement for a canon printer?

[Jay Thomson]

Hi,

I bought a Canon i250 printer 3 weeks ago. I had a lot of printing to
do and ran out of black in the second week. A friend of mine who has
an S200 was using Fullmark cartridges for several months and he said
there's no difference in quality and it's considerably cheaper. Ok, I
got such a cartridge, but I'm getting extreme ink bleeding. Even on
better paper, it still does not look like the Canon ink (which made
printouts look as if they were made by a laser printer if on good
paper). On better paper I _sometimes_ get a bit of smearing.

So, I wonder, how good are the other alternatives? I have been able to
find only the following brands of ink: G&G and KMP. Are they better
than Fullmark? InkTec maybe -> although I did not find an InkTec
cartridge for the i250...

Do you mean InkTec or do you really mean JetTec?

The BCI-24 black and multi colour are the cartridges you require. JetTec
6843 and 6853.
Either at http://www.inkylink.co.uk or as below.

Thanks, I'll try to find the JetTec ink although I'm in Eastern Europe
and found only the brands I first listed... So you are getting good
quality with the JetTec? How do you compare to original Canon ink?

We ship all over even to the USA and NZ and Oz - but it might be best to
read the site first as the JetTec is unconditionally guaranteed.
