In this video, a Canon print cartridge is opened up and revealed not to contain the meagre 11.9 ml (0.4 fl oz) of ink it is advertised. The proposed solution is to buy a printer designed to be manually refilled with bottles of ink (such as the featured Epson EcoTank ET-2850), though it has only been tested briefly.

    Only thing I would change is I would have bought the one with the feeder scanner. Scanning a multipage document is a pita. Mine doesn’t automatically clean the heads. I have to tell mine to do it. And it gives me a warning that it wastes ink if you do it unnecessarily. Mine is old though. I got it when they were brand new. Maybe they changed some things. But maybe look into it? If you don’t use it that often it might be worth changing the setting to make it not do that automatically (if possible) and just do it when you use it. But, like I said I use mine ony a few times a year. Your use case may be different and they may have changed the way it cleans/flushes the heads.

      Yeah i have the one with the doc feeder. One thing they don’t tell you is that while yeah, you can print double sided no problem, the doc feeder is single-sided no matter what.
