Just splashed out on a new Canon photo-printer, to replace my last colour printer that went t*ts up about a year ago. It had £20 cashback, so I went with it.

BUT: neither Comet, Currys, Dixons or Argos are yet stocking the inks, and apparently it only comes with "test inks", about 20 pages' worth.

Now I know that in the past, when printers came WITH inks, the spare ink cartridges weren't often available for 6-8 weeks, but to send out a printer with TEST inks, and the cuustomer can't buy the inks, well that's just stupidity.

Who said the Japs had business acumen? Mind, I did buy the printer...........

Order some off the net... should get a much better price compared to retail, even if you stick with Canon cartridges.

as above, think you will be able to get some from inkworld,good prices to for own brand,canon.

It's a PIXMA iP 4600. Some inks already ordered off the net, thanks to all who replied...............but I still think Canon are daft to sell a printer but no inks locally: surely they are missing a trick, since the inks I've ordered aren't canon, but a chipped alternative?

Alls I have to do now is try it, choose a photo and print it.

Dude,

Just Ink and Paper | Canon CLI-521 Black (CLI521B)

Original Canon inks for your printer, all in stock, and all pretty cheap. From experience you'd be daft to use non genuine inks in a Canon printer.

Black is fine, they colours may not match

My Canon came with a full set of inks (MP970).

Mind it wasn't a cheap printer, so I would have expected them to be included. Just as well really, seeing that it takes 7 seperate cartridges.
