This ink is definately cheaper and works pretty good. However, it eventually clogged the print head of my i560 printer. I am currently looking for a replacement printhead and not interested in paying $46 to canon when the whole printer only cost me $88.

Anyone know where i can find one???

-Slick

You're probably better off buying a new printer to be honest with you. When you consider that you'll be buying a new print head AND real Canon ink to avoid the clogging, you'll probably be spending less if you buy a new setup (not to mention save a lot of time).

These clogged my i960. Even after thorough cleaning and flushing with real Canon ink, the print head was never the same. I ended up getting a pixma ip4500 for free as part of a deal on a camera and couldn't be happier. I think i paid something close to $300 for the i960 when it first came out and the pixma retails for about $99. The quality is superb and totally beats my higher priced previous investment.

If you really want to pursue a new print head, I'd suggest checking out e-bay or some similar outlet. Like i said though, for the head and new ink alone, you'll probably spend less on a new printer and get better quality.

sometime getting the bargain, no-name, generic brand may be a comparable trade-off but not for this "compatible ink" case. i remember my cousin getting this for his Canon (wall poster size) printer & the colours, the sharpness, the vividness didn't quite look the same thereafter; this continued to occur after he hard workerto paying up for the Canon brand inks. somehow, for some reason, something was lost after that experience.
