That is none of my business. It may be possible that what you thought was inexpensive genuine ink carts on eBay was counterfeit. eBay is a perfect place to sell counterfeits. > > I print a lot of pages with photos embedded in the text.

Genuine Canon ink cartridges can be found on Ebay? They may be stockroom losses? It is none of my business? OR, you sell inferior non-Canon ink? GFH

Quite possible, if you print frequently. I tend to print in spurts, with long intervals between printer usages. My experience is that one month of no printing puts the printer at risk. GFH |
