Do I need to buy name-brand replacement ink cartridges?

No way! Name brand replacements are often twice or three-times more expensive than compatible or remanufactured ink cartridges. And that's not it. Compatible and remanufactured ink cartridges are of equal or better quality than name-brand replacements.
Remanufactured printer cartridges are completely cleaned and refilled with premium ink. Compatible cartridges are built just like name brand cartridges and filled with similar ink.

Printer manufacturers "recommend" that you buy their replacement ink simply because they rely on cartridge sales for survival. Don't be apprehensive about buying remanufactured or compatible ink cartridges. They really are just as good ? and you'll save yourself 75-85% every time your ink runs out..

It's pretty impressive because it's nothing for todays inkjet printersto lay down 12,000,000 drops per second.Canon also uses an optical method. The ink sensor monitors the ink levels through optical detection and dot counting and alerts users when the supply of any color ink is low.

Canon's ink level system is probably the most accurate although you canstill trick the printer into printing more from an "empty" ink tank. Just tell thesoftware that you have installed a new cartridge and you can get morepages out of it.You can reset the Epson cartridges after they run out and get a whole lot more pages out of them. Of course you need an Epson...
