Does the Canon ip4200 & ip4300 take/use the same carts?

The answer is.....easy to get.

Go to www.usa.canon.com and select "support", then "consumer", then
specificy your model number(s), and finally, select "supplies and
accessories".

If you're not in North America, go to www.canon.com and then find your way.
You'll notice the North American and European versions may differ a bit. For
example, the UK ip4300 can print directly onto a CD or DVD.

Generally, the big difference in the ip4300 is that is has almost twice as
many printing nozzles as the ip4200. Printing is faster.

With these little tiny nozzles, think twice before deciding to try 3rd-party
ink.

Martin - the simple answer is - Yes they take the same carts. Regarding
nozzle size and aftermarket inks - I use MIS inks in an ip5000 which has 1
picoliter nozzles in the dye-based bci-6 color carts (black, yellow, cyan,
and magenta.) The larger cart, the bci-3ebk, uses pigment based inks and is
used for text printing on the plain paper setting. The pigment-based ink
uses much larger nozzles. I believe that the ip4300 nozzles are comparable
in size to the ip5000 and should do well with good quality aftermarket bulk
refill inks. But then --- you really didn't ask about aftermarket inks, did
you? We have a few people who post on this NG with advice to only use OEM
inks, even when that information wasn't requested.

You can think twice; I once did regarding tiny nozzles. But I went with
my gut feeling and have been using various brands of generic ink and
various prefilled cartridges since Dec. 2004 (!) in my iP5000, which
also has 1 pl nozzles. The original printhead performs true to Canon
specs requiring no special cleaning or attention. However, I do print
something at least once a week, even if it's an email. Letting a printer
sit idle for months will clog up any printer, even if used with OEM
inks. Remember, the cleaning and deep cleaning cycles were installed for
Canon's own inks just because some people do leave their printers idle
for long periods of time. My policy of printing something once a week
leaves my printers basically trouble free.

Absolutely. You never know what you are getting and even if you have no
problems on a batch from a relabeler you do not know if the next
shipment will be from the same mfg cause they will not tell you. And
watch out for the liars in this ng.

He got it right the first time.

Do not pay any attention to these inaccurate statements from a kid.

but you almost never have to use them. On my IP4000 I haVE NEVER DONE A
CLEANING CYCLE and it is going on 3 years. Of course I always use the
PREMIUM Canon ink and never considered anything else. At one time I did
investigate all of the relabelrs mentioned in this ng but found there
disclosures and packaging wanting. And I never reported any problems
with my printer like the refillers in this ng.

Why would you go through the trouble of posting that question on this
newsgroup and not just doing as JohnF suggested and getting the answer from
the people that makes both of them?

Good idea, especially when that butt-head moron of an idiot
meashershithead chimes in with his lying bullshit.
What a loser he is.
