Does it contain ink cartridges? I know that some printers dont actually have ink cartridges when they are sold new....

If you check Amazon periodically, you may find the 8-cartridge pack for a low price. I bought one for 50 bucks + free shipping. Even at 70 bucks it's cheaper than the 4-pack + the PC and PM cartridges. Then sell the Red and Green cartridges on Craigslist for 15 bucks including shipping. You just drop them in a padded envelope and mail them to someone. Apparently, the pigment black is always sold separately.

being somewhat of a geek/nerd I must have close to 50 USB cables, of various types. I was at my one man show, in a one horse town, and when i mentioned that i couldn't find the exact one i needed ( very unorganized person here ) she tried to give me a dozen.worse things in life, than having to goto RS or wally world to pickup a cable.

I am trying to find the ink for my printer to have on hand when the ink that comes with it runs out. So far, I can only find a 4 pack - it uses 7 cartridges. Do you have to purchase the other 3 separately? Thanks

Yes it comes with the cartridges. What it doesn't come with is the freakin' USB cable.

Yes it comes with all the cartridges, but they may not last as long as the real cartridges.

Where did you find the 8 pack for $50? The lowest I've ever seen on Amazon is $80. The only carts I've seen for lower are refurbished no-chip carts. If you can source new Canon 8 packs for $50, you'd be the man!

What is PM & PC? Do the heads clog if you don't print for several days or a week?Thanks

It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer. However so far I have printed out about six 12 inch x 12 inch heavily colored t-shirt transfer prints and still have ink left. Because the spec said setup ink tanks, I ordered a full set of spares along with the printer. I think that printer manufacturers sell the printers for under cost and then make all their money on selling ink. By the time you replace the tanks twice on many printers, you will have spent more money on ink than on the printer. Just the same, I think it is an outrage not to include a full set of tanks with a new printer. It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer.

The printer does come with a set of cartridges, although I think they contain less toner than the regular purchased cartridges. This is pretty much standard practice for laser and inkjet printer manufacturers.

It does come with ink, but I suspect the cartridges are only partially full, as most places do with the first set. We bought our printer Fall 2013, and with fairly regular home printing, we are only now replacing the black cartridges 6 mos later. As for what ink, we just bought a compatible multi pack on Amazon, though they usually won't let people list brands in comments. It is 4 black and two CMY, and reviews seemed fine, so we'll see. The Brother type is LC103, LC105, LC107.

It comes with ink.....but one of the units I have purchased used a black cartridge in one week!....not sure if the cartridge was bad but something to keep in mind

Yes it comes with 1 of each ink needed to get it started. I have had mine now for about 2 months, I homeschool my daughter so we use the printer a lot, and I have just now had to replace the large black ink cartridge.

In my experience, no it doesn't. Also the printer stops working when the cartridges are "shown" to be empty - when in actuality they aren't. There is a way to work around this though. Google this on youtube - for resetting printer cartridges. My cartridges claimed to be empty just two months after I purchased this printer. I reset them and they've been running on the same ones for a few weeks now without a problem.

From previous purchases of printers, I did buy ink separate for this printer. However, to my joyful surprise, a black & color cartridges were included in the box. So now I have a backup for both cartridges. Not sure if cartridges come wIth every printer of this type or it was special from the seller.

It does come with ink, or else it would be pretty darn useless. :) Ink and the applicators to refill a cartridge (several times).

Thanks. Printer arrived and I'm all set up; had an extra USB on hand.Seems like some printers don't include the ink now. Like everything, you're charged the same, if not more, and get less in the box.

Mine did NOT come with any ink cartridges. Therefore, I could not complete the set up process/alignment.

Yes, a full set of ink cartridges is included. You will probably find that the ink cartridges get used up at different rates, so don't buy an extra set until you see what colors your pictures are using up.

Yes, but cartridges are only starter cartridges. The supplied cartridges are only 40-60% capacity of purchased separately cartridges, maybe. Much like all new printers with supplied ink cartridges.

Yes the printer requires having ALL ink cartridges installed (and none empty) to print, if you run out of a color you cannot print (even in black) until the color cartridge is replaced..

No, it comes with cartridges about 3/4 full. So plan on buying a little sooner than if u had brand new cartridges... Plus most retailers are promoting and stocking only the XL size cartridges which are a little more money, but worth it for the extra large capacity ink tanks.

Yes, the ink cartridge is already installed and the unit came with a small roll of paper. I recommend using the small roll for learning and testing then switch to a full roll before using.
