Canon replacement cartridges for my Pixma printer now cost almost as

There are various cartridge refill kits which I could buy. Are these any
good?


Cheap printers and expensive cartridges are all part of the marketing
strategy because manufacturers can virtually give you the printer and
rely on making their money from ink sales. [Bit like mobile phones, really]

We buy genuine Canon cartridges from the likes of www.7dayshop.com -
where they are a lot cheaper than in the High Street.

They - as do the likes of Lidl from time to time - also sell
'compatible' cartridges, which are a lot cheaper still.

I've never fancied refill kits - I reckon it could get a bit messy!
