Canon MP780 Replacement Ink - BCam - 08-23-2006
I believe I can still use generic inks in this Canon model. Is that correct?
I would appreciate any advice from fellow MP780 users (or any knowledgable folk, which is a lot here) about their experiences with generics and what inks to use.
Thanks in Advance for your help.

i tried some generic inks in my 780 from my local frys -- they looked like they had 2X as much ink in them, i thought that was awesome
unfortunatly, they leaked all over the inside of my 780 =(
ended up just taking my old carts (one at a time) to staples and got $3 off a new genuine canon ones
if you do go generic, report back on your experience

I have always had good success with ink4art.com. Yes, they have the generic cartridges for the MP780 at $6.95 and currently a discount of 30% using code: cool30 That would make it $4.87 with free shipping. http://www.ink4art.com/icon/index.asp?method=ps&pss=MP780&SEARCH.x=25&SEARCH.y=9

what kind of printer are you using linamen?
FWIW, the 780 uses the same inks as the ip 3000/4000/5000 series of printers

I used ink packaged by G&G and made in the US.
I got it from http://inkandbeyond.com/ for no particular reason, but the price was decent.
So far so good. Also used the same stuff in a Brother MP type printer with good results. Been a couple weeks to a month.

jdc....I am currently using ink4art generic cartridges in TWO Canon i560 printers, while my brother is using ink4art cartridges in his Canon ip4000 and my son is using them in his ip3000.
