Not Canon. If you buy Lexmark, Epson, or HP (chipped printer cartridges),
you get what you deserve.

There are actually aftermarket modders who use reservoirs this large.

The trick to getting economical consumables
is not to buy the cheapest printer--with an all-colors-in-one cartridge.
Canon's Photo series has individually-replaceable CMY tanks.

It sounds like Nirodac is parsimonious--not frugal.
Buying the unit with the lowest initial cost
is not always the most cost-effective way to go.

Yup. When buying an inkjet, it's Canon.
When buying anything, look for something
where sombody else has already taken the big hit on the price.
