I have a Canon i9950 printer and it uses 8 ink cartidges and the cost of these is sheer punishment. To replace all 8 can cost around Ł70-Ł80 inc p&p. How can Canon justify these prices? I know people who now have all their printing done professionally because of the cost of printer inks. My Canon will do A3 but it would cost an arm and a leg!

I gather that look-alike inks don't work and fade so I seem to be stuck with Canon inks. I did buy one cartridge cheaply but I threw it away because it looked nothing like the original Canon ink and I thought it might damage the printer.

Anyone know of a cheap source of Canon inks for the i9950?
