Well, the other guys are all complaining about Amazon's shipping charge. Amazon's "free shipping for over $25" offer comes and goes, so if you see it in effect -- it is as of today (10/12/2005) -- grab whatever you need. As for buying the ink tanks, just buy all three colors in the set at the same time to qualify.Anyway, let me talk about the ink tanks themselves. The three "BCI-6" ink tanks work in the Canon Pixma iP3000 printer. (Maybe in other models as well, but I have the iP3000.) These are official Canon ink tanks so you'll know they'll work well. The number of prints you get heavily depends on your printing habit, e.g., what you print, how much you print, and at what quality you print.Using my usage as an example. I print at Normal Quality most of the time, and I print about 50% photos (at 200 or 300 dpi, depending on needs) and 50% web pages (e.g., flight confirmations, Hotmail messages, etc.). I don't print Word text documents much. I've run through 2 sets of ink tanks, and my very rough estimate is each set has lasted about 250-300 8.5"x11" sheets. Maybe more, but I don't wish to raise your expectations too much. Suffice it to say that of all the inkjet printers I've owned -- photo or not -- the iP3000 has a terrific ink capacity record. Of course, if you use one color more than the others, that particular ink tank (or ink tank combinations) will go out faster.(For your reference, a few months ago I read in a magazine review the the average per letter-size print cost of the iP3000 came out to around 12 cents per page on plain paper, one of the lowest average costs for inkjets. Not sure what settings they used in their tests or how much they paid for ink tanks, though.)In case you are interested... the new Canon iP4200 model employs a new formula of ink which supposedly will not fade for at least 30 years. My own take is, no matter how you print your photos -- even at professional photo labs -- a photo print will eventually fade if exposed to light. It's just a simple law of chemistry. So be sure to archive your digital photos on CDs or DVDs so 30 or 40 years from now, you can still print fresh copies and relive your treasured memories in their full colors.I have been ordering these BC1 CARTRIGES SINCE 1970 IN HD,yOUR WEB SITE STATES IT'S not COMPATALABLE FOR i900D COLOR COPIER.

Storry of my lie!!! That's not fair when you offer free ship and a wrong produt arrives....Regards,Mary DenewellisI am very wary about buying ink cartridges online. On Amazon, even if you filter for new only and manufacturer only, it brings up used cartridges from unknown manufacturers.Used cartridges are really not good for your printer and you never know exactly what you'll get (unless you have your own cartridges refilled). Now if you still want to use them, that's up to you.My issue is that you really have to pay attention to make sure you are getting new and sealed manufacturer cartridges when you are buying online. (Wish Amazon would do something about that but I suppose they are busy.)So my review for this product? IT WAS A FACTORY SEALED NEW CARTRIDGE just like it said it was. Good place to buy from.I have been using a Canon photo printer, i900D, for the past 3+ years. Needless to say, I have been very impressed with Canon's quality. Having paid lots for an earlier Lexmark printer and it's all colors inclusive cartridges only to have the printer conk out just out of the warranty period, I've been vary of these kind of printers. Canon, I should say, has gone past all of my expectations. The individual color tanks need to be changed only when they finish and are cheap enough to keep me away from generics. Given that the photos that I print at home are not as sharp as professional prints but they are still very good. Overall a wonderful choice.This is actual Canon ink, not the scroungy knockoff just-as-good-as cheapies. It'll keep your print head clean and unclogged, give you lots of unsmeared pages, etc., etc.Me, I don't use anything but Canon ink, basis a long history with Canon printers and what happens when you cheap out.Use knockoff ink if you must, but spare us the whining about the problems it causes. Your own fault, yo!Igual que el original, para una Canon i560.The Canon inks were as advertised. They were good and delivery was fast.
