I believe the IP has a postcard printing on the back of the paper, so you can send the photo as a postcard, while the IN does not.

As far as I know the platen (the thing that actually embosses the paper) are not interchangeable. Therefore I think you have to choose one or the other. This would be a great question for the office supply store that you will actually e-mail with your selections.

Hi, Dawn the XL mean that Canon ink cartridges are high capacity ink cartridge, which means more ink per page printed and better quality and no ink smudging etc...in this case this would not apply to remanufactured ink cartridge like this one. With canon as I have the original ink cartridge is better you will get quality print per and the ink last longer. I brought two cartridges and the printer didn't recognize that it was new and it never work. Therefore, this isn't a profitable buy because you would how to go buy another two cartridges. Hope this helpful. Tks cheryl

It is a standard ink cartridge, just like you would buy at your local office supply store. The number of pages is dependent on what you are printing. You will get significantly fewer pages if you are printing black and white pictures of the night sky than if you are printing haiku poetry.

I am pretty sure the thick black ink cartridges come with the set (PGI-220BK). I am extremely pleased with the cartridges as they are inexpensive and work perfectly.

Be sure that you are using "inkjet" photo paper. Not all photo paper is for use in inkjet printers. Yes, the new inkjet printers are more accurate and tend to use less ink. If you do a lot of photo prints, you may want to purchase a dedicated inkjet printer just for your photos. Those always work better than a combination photo/copy/scan printer.

The Canon Ink tank PGI-250 XL is the same as the standard PGBK EXCEPT is has a larger capacity, i.e. ink supply and I am currently using the black, grey, and whatever XL version I can get my hands on so as not having to replace the ink tanks as often. Let the force be with you. My printer is a Canon MG7120 of the 7100 series.

Canon always includes a set of cartridges with its printers. I would be more concerned with the replacement of the empties. In checking the Canon website, Amazon website, Staples website, and three independent cartridge providers, no one sells or lists new cartridges for the Canon Pixma IP4300. If anyone has additional information, please post it.

The packaging says 2X more than standard cartridge, but that is misleading. It also indicates ~550 pages, which is also misleading. It all depends on your settings - fast copy/best quality/etc. and the actual content of the page (i.e. photos use a lot of ink). I found that using the XL cartridges are a better deal than the just the HP 564 and they don't have to be replaced as often. HP ink is still very expensive and they don't ever last as long as expected. Hope this information helps.

I don't think there is any difference between what ink goes into the cartridge. It is just a better value to pay for only ONE cartridge and get twice the ink , rather than the equivalent of 2 cartridges to get the same ink. Better cost/value.

A pity that Canon has not yet created a custom profile for you. The Lustre finish is really fine so I would try the "Lustre" or "Glossy" profile on heavier media to see which works best. Keep in mind that any time you change and ink tank or use another kind of paper the profile changes. I see more shifts in the PC/Cyan range on my i9000 Mk II. Do adjust your dry times. 36-48 hours is really better than 12-24.

Dawn, The ink cartridges are usually included with the photo paper.You can look for photo paper kit g-100 or g-200. Hope this helps

My Canon is MG5420, and the difference is negligible. I don't print on a regular basis, so it would be hard to determine. However, before ordering the Skia Ink I had used Costco refills, which are MUCH cheaper than Canon. The clerk measures the cartridges to see if they really needed refilling. Even the original Canon cartridges showed "empty" long before they actually were. Just FYI.

610 and 970 use larger PGI-5 CLI-8 tanks...620 and 980 use smaller, but fewer CLI 221 and PGI220 tanks....They all use a lot of ink if you print photos...gray the most then magenta, followed by cyan.....Not much black or yellow get used in the mp980 unless you set on plain paper/ grayscale (to use the black)

Thank you for asking. First I am a season on location portrait studio photographer. My production run 2 weekends in 3 months period. To answer your question, I print all my studio portraits with Premier Imaging Premium Photo Luster Paper. I have done a test on Epson Luster paper vs Imaging premium luster on my studio portrait and didn't notice a different. I also used epson ICC profile because Premier Imaging did not provide. In my opinion, any major brand of paper will work as long as you use correct icc profile. Warning on Refill non-epson ink. A friend of mine learn the hard way by switching to after market inks. Color won't change right away but it slowly shift as time goes on. The print head clogging and not recognize ink levels. BTW, My 3880 have not clog once yet after 3 years. I have gone thru 2 or 3 week without a print in my home studio and still work fine. Sorry I may have given you more than what you want to know. Hope my input help

6 Pack (3xBlack + 1 of Ea. Color) Compatible Ink w/ Chip for Canon Pixma iP3300 iP3500 MP510 MX700 PGI-5BK CLI-8The Canon MX 700 ink dries out far too fast. I have printed no more than thirty copies over the past 9 months--and now the ink is dry! Really really frustrating and prohibitively expensive.

I owned a 3800 until it died, and then I bought a 3880. Difference is the 3880 uses different inks claiming to be better. I can tell no difference in the prints, however. If you use paper/printer profiles in Photoshop, though, note they are different.
