Can anybody help??
I have a standard canon inkjet printer at home which I have been using to print a full coloured A4 image onto vinyl transfer paper, as I was advised this was the best way to go.
Now the problem is, I put new ink cartridges into the printer and was only able to print off about 10 sheets before it emptied out my cartridges. The cartridges cost me about £25 or $35. Now this works out to be about £2.50 per sheet which is very expensive!!!! I was advised to leave the print settings at standard which I assume would be slightly more economical on the ink but in standard settings I get lots of lines on the print finish, so to avoid this I have to print in High quality mode.
Also if I need to print off 100 copies of this graphic, it will take forever as I will be having to change the ink cartridges every 10 prints!
My other alternative is too have my local t shirt printing business print off 100 for me at £1.75 per sheet, I am sure they are not changing the ink cartridges every 10 prints.
Can someone advise me on what I can do to my current printer or advise me on a new printer that will be quick at the job and also turn out 100 copies with no problem!

Cheers,

Paul

Have you clean the heads? Because cleaning the printheads required a big amount of ink

first need to know the model of your printer, so can check the ink cartridge capacity.
after that maybe you can try a continue ink system. also don use max resolution if you are doin it,
but mos important. check your printer specs about how mmany number of pages one can print from an ink cartidge. and consider if light print or full color print

I have a Canon ix6850 and tried a CIS but had nothing but trouble with it. I now use it with refillable carts and 100ml bottles of ink ftom City Ink Express (UK - £15 a BOTTLE! ) and very rarely need to refill the carts. Prints are excellent.

Hi there it’s a canon pixma mp495 Andy I am not sure of the spec of it if any1 can help?

Is the Canon ix6850 better than my pixma mp495? I just want an inkjet printer with good quality that will print more than 10 full A4 colour sheets before I need to change the cartridges again
