Canon printer users can now enjoy the cost saving benefits of bulk ink by using the Ink2image range of refillable desk top printer cartridge kits. These kits include a set of 4 oz bottles of ink and a set of specially modified refillable cartridges. Featuring the same cartridge design as used in the original printer, these cartridges can be refilled many times using the included syringes. Cost savings are similar to using a bulk ink feed system, around 70% compared to normal cartridges. For printer models that have ink level monitoring chips fitted to the cartridges, such as the Canon Pixma Pro 9000, the refillable cartridges also have chips fitted that auto reset to full each time they are refilled.
Three ink options are available for Canon refillable cartridges kits. Firstly, i2i Absolute Match C1 and C2 dye inks are color matched to the original Canon inks and have a similar light fastness. Secondly, the Lyson Fotonic inks for Canon have a wider color gamut and enhanced fade resistance of around 25-30 years in average indoor display conditions. The Fotonic for Canon inks require the use of custom ICC color profiles, and Ink2image provides many free profiles for this purpose. Thirdly, the Canon i9900 bulk ink system can be purchased with the Lyson Quad Black for Canon inks for producing stunning black and white images. The costs saved by using refillable cartridges can be quite significant. For example, a refillable cartridge kit for the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 ships 8 x 4 oz bottles of Fotonic for Canon ink and costs $ 260.00. This is the same amount of ink as contained in 8 original cartridge sets. The manufacturers stated retail price for an original cartridge is $ 14.99. This means that the kit ships with the equivalent amount of ink as $ 959.36 worth of original cartridges, an immediate saving of $ 699.36. Ongoing savings are even higher. A 4 oz refill bottle of Fotonic for Canon ink costs $ 19.00 and contains the equivalent ink as over 8 original cartridges, or $ 119.92 worth. This makes the equivalent cost per cartridge $ 2.38 by using Lyson bulk ink, a saving of over 80%.
