EVEN THEN THE INK RELABELERS WILL NOT TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE SELLINGDavy said:If its anything like the IP5000 it's plain awesome, the text being as
good as the laser printer I have, once the laser has done the warm up
routine the inkjet is just as fast, it's also very economical to run.
The ip5000 has a quiet mode setting so that you can use the printer
whilst 'burning the mid night oil', a mode that I have never tried in
over 5 months that I have had the printer, infact I find it useless as
it's a very quiet printer without it being enabled, the ip5200 may not
have this feature.
One good plus is that I have not yet had a clog compared to the
Epson's I had and have not yet done a print head nozzle clean
manually, mind you I have stuck with OEM ink.
They are easy to refill and uses clear plastic tanks and from my
learnings through these pages if you are using non-Canon inks stay
away from the universal stuff you see and stick to a formulated ink
for Canon's.
DOING THAT IS MERITED ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE A VERY HIGH PRINTLOAD AND YOUI have not yet tried non Canon inks or refilling but that is what I
would do thanks to advice read through these pages.

That part is good but the real bummer is that the ink costs 50% moreGary said:(e-mail address removed) (Davy) wrote in @fe05.news.easynews.com:
It is kind of like the 5000 (I have a 5000 too).
The 5200 has nearly twice the nozzles the 5000 has (in fact, the 4200 is
more like the 5000). Also, the x200 printers use the chipped CLI-8/PGI-5
CL-100 carts, so refilling is kind of up in the air.
That part is good but the real bummer is that the ink costs 50% more
than the ink for the previous IP Pixma series. And there is nothing
in the ink to warrant that.

same price for 5000 or 5200 inks because as you stated there's nothing
in the ink to warrant a price increase. Nice to know there's no OEM hand
in my pocket when I order ink. Clog? Not in my printer. Stop whining and
deal with it.

YOU ARE NOT GOOD IN MATH. I HAD ONE OF THE FIRST 4000. THE 5000 CAMEBranwynn said:@newssvr12.news.prodigy.com:
I've been using the same inks, same printhead longer than you've had your
4000,
DO YOU MEAN OLD FARTSFrancis. If there was a problem with my inks I'd know about it. I
just love to hear you're paying more and more and more every year for your
ink. Maybe the government should drop what they're doing and step in and
help you decide (with regulations) which inks to buy. What are you, brain
dead? The rest of us mature adults
YOU ARE NOT GOOD IN MATH. I HAD ONE OF THE FIRST 4000. THE 5000 CAME
OUT AFTER. YOU MUST NOT HAVE A PIXMA.
DO YOU MEAN OLD FARTS
OH YES IT IS AN OLDIE BUT NOT A GOODIE. AND HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT MYBranwynn said:English isn't your first language? Who said I had to have a 5000 to
talk about 5000/5200 inks? You probably don't have a Pixma. Check to see
if it says "Lexmark" on the front.
Go back to your game console, Francis and leave inkjet printing to people
with real printers.
