generic compatible cartidges for Canon MP630?

Hello

I have a Canon MP630 printer about 6 months old. Have always used genuine
Canon ink cartidges to date cos of warning of voiding the warranty. However
the cost difference to the generic ones is considerable.

What do you think of generic Canon ink cartidges? Could they shorten the
life of the print head?

I am looking to buy cartridges on EBay or at InkJet Wholesale website. Thank
you in anticipation for your advice

I don't own any Cano printer to know much or any about Canon printer. I
have been using third party or refill my own for Epson printers, and all my
Epson printers live lot longer than I have expected.

Example the last Epson Photo Stylus 900 I used to print many thousands of
DVD labels to the point that I have to too it apart to clean the Wasted Ink
PADs twice (or for most people it won't even happen ONCE). It was still
print sharp text and photo, but the problem that the TRAY to hold the DVD
got wore out badly that I have already taped to make it thicker or get
better traction, and I guess some gear wore out too so I had to give it a
little push to get it started. After awhile, I have had enough of it to I
tossed it away to replace with the newer model.

And getting third party ink and refillable ink catridge was the first
thing I do. I have been using it daily for a little over a year, and it's
still kicking fine. I have refilled somewhere around 20-25 times, and I
believe a set of 6 colors may cost me around $100 for a set of 6 colors.

Whose printer is it? You own it, not Canon. It's already six month
old. How long is the warranty? You only have six months warranty left
in any case. You can save 50% with compatibles or more than 80% with
home refilling.

I would buy ink from a reputable dealer rather than Ebay, that way you know where they come from as well as the person selling them... more important you can sure they will be fresh.

There's plenty reputable dealers around, been using third party inks in my IP5000 for yonks and still going strong, works out loads cheaper.

It doesn't matter where you buy, if you buy from eBay then READ the
feedbacks those not available in most online stores.
