Funny you say that. My HP said it needed a new black cartridge (well, 2 actually). I replaced them, and it didn't print. I told it to clean, and it still didn't work. I was printing stuff out in different colors, determined not to do anything about it until our taxes were done (we needed the scanner). After the taxes were done, I accidentally printed something without changing the color and it worked. I had been afraid it was the print heads.

I have an HP inkjet printer and I buy the large capacity toner cartridges direct from HP. They last a lot longer and do a fine job.

I have an HP which I love it takes a black and a tricolor cartridge. I have also had a canon printer. which took individual color cartridges. I get frustrated with the HP that when one color goes you have to replace the entire cartridge but then the individual cartridges for the Canon were a bit pricier. Shop, make a list of questions / concerns and figure out what is best for you.

I 've always bought Epsom and have had great results. Do a lot of quilts with photos printed on fabric. My last post was Forever Garden quilt as an example.

I go through a lot of ink and have found buying on line through either InkFarm.com or SuperMediaStore.com I can print lots of great ideas. For printing on fabric you probably want to use more expensive brand name.

I had a HP printer until I found out the cost of all the inks . I also had to travel into the city as my main town didn't sell them. I also had a Kodak ink was cheaper but when all the coloured empty wouldn't print in black only.i never managed a black opt o ly.
I have wondered if taking a book for the library to copy is cheaper sometimes. But. Copying from computer is then a problem.
I will keep watching to see if anyone has a good machine. Also some machines will not accept the cheap inks.

I heard Clark Howard (the money tips guru on CNN) say to shake the ink cartridge when it gets low...you'll get some more printing out of it. Tried it - it really helps!

I have to Canon Printers and they both work great on fabric. The colors are very vivid.
I hope which ever you purchase works just as well.

I have a Canon MP 190 and have no idea if its laser or ink jet. How do I tell which it is? By my question you can tell I'm still in the rock and chiesle (sp) era.

I hate my cannon printer.....it starts giving me change cartridge warnings (which slows down the printing process) LONG before the ink runs out. I'd like to buy another one but that would cut into my fabric dollars : )
