Great little printer for the money, but the cartridges do not last very long. They offer larger cartridges, but they're pretty expensive too.
When I went back to the store to get more ink cartridges, I realized that buying a new printer (which comes with cartridges and a small pack of photo paper) was about $4 less than buying the replacement cartridges. I felt a little guilty since it's such a waste of resources (environmentally speaking), but that's Canon's stupid fault for pricing things the way they have. Do they really think we're not going to notice that the replacement ink cartridges cost more than we paid for the printer? Corporate America doing what it does best...wasting money. Had the two cartridges cost $25, I would have saved myself five bucks and gone on with my life.
So I reluctantly bought another printer for $30 instead of paying $34 for the two little replacement cartridges. How could I not? That said, I'm not the type to keep buying printers and putting them in closet or throwing them in the dumpster, so I'll be looking for an alternative soon, preferably from another company...but for the meanwhile, this one does the job just fine. It's just the principle that puts me off. Everything about the printer is great...looks awesome sitting next to my iMac too.Get more detail about Canon Pixma iP2600 Photo Inkjet Printer (2435B002).
