We do a lot of day to day printing which is done with the 16/600. We have a Canon Pixma iP6700D that is used for printouts that need color and for printing on CDs and DVDs.
I recently printed two copies of our RV Rally club directory - 57 member pages with a 3.5" by 2.75" color picture and black text plus 10 or so pages of by laws and standing rules - and maybe ten 5x7 pictures. That used half a new black cartridge.
The ink cartridges have a chip on them to keep the printer from using brand-x ink and the Canon ones are about $10 a pop if bought in sets from Amazon. That's pretty expensive printing. Next time I'll try printing the text on the 16/600 and then running the pages through the Canon for the color pictures.
