I prefer to use OEM ink cartridges (if I can afford them) -- I can't remember the last premature failure I experienced with one, unlike non-original cartridges. The high-quality glossy paper is a bonus, and adds value IMHO.
Need a new set of genuine Canon carts, turns out I've refilling them wrong for years, now to do it right. Refill when first low ink warning, must keep sponge wet.
