Canon cartridges with plastic prongs for the chip?

Hello all,
I know that recently third party cartridges for Canon (CLI-8 / PGI-5)
*with chip* have been put on the market, however they cost double
compared to the chipless ones.

Chipless ones would be fine for me if they had two plastic prongs where
the chip can be inserted, so that it stays there WITHOUT using the glue!

I know such cartridges "with prongs" exist, for example look at this:
http://www.cartridgedepot.com.au/dl/tech/PGI-5Bk and CLI-8 Chip Change.pdf
the instructions mention that the cartridge has prongs and the glue is
not strictly necessary.

However the cartridges of the link above are so expensive that they cost
like chipped ones.

Do you know a cheaper source with cartridges with prongs?
Preferably in the EU but not strictly necessary

Thank you

People who want print quality do not care because they buy only Canon
OEM and I have NEVER heard of a problem. It is only those who want to
buy crap for a cheap price and get what they paid for have problems.

As Truman said if it gets too hot stay out of the kitchen.

Not an issue.

Well like I said if you find the cdrap too expensive than buy Canon OEM.

Costco, Staples, Frys, Office Depot all sell Canon.

rfiv,
Don't pay any attention to posts by measekite. He is a shill for the
printer companies. He only knows one thing that fits in his very tiny
brain. That thing is that all generic ink is bad and all oem ink is
good. It is like his special religion.

If he says this same mantra long enough, he feels he will find
enlightenment.

This could be a solution but I don't know whether this company sells outside
DK:

At the bottom of the page you can see an orange clip that mounts the chip
permanently in the printhead.
These holders (5 pcs.) are relatively expensive, but the cartridges are
cheap. 25 cartridges of my own choice for my Pixma 5200R costs around 65
Euro.
(1Euro ~ 7.5 DKK.)
I have used it for some months now and it works fine. In fact the printer
doesn't detect when you change a cartridge so it doesn't start the usual
nagging.
Kind regards
Niels
