So anyone know how much it cost to print out a 4x6 photo more or less using this ink? (I know it probably partially depends on printer, but probably only makes a penny or two difference).

I have no clue about the cost, but I know that using the off brands created problems for my Canon printers. I get great results with the Canon ink, but have never tried to figure out the cost per sheet. I almost never print 4 X 6 pictures. Ivie Bellone

According to Red River Papers, the set of ink can print about 8000 square inches of photos. So far in 6 months of usage, this seems about right (I have about 2/3rds of my ink left and have printed over 2500 Square Inches of color prints.) 300 4x6 photos would be about 7200 square inches, so would allow for some overhead for printer cleaning, etc. So the cost per print for ink on my Pro-100 would be about $.33 per 4x6 photo.

Red River Paper has done several tests. Here are the results for a Pixma pro 100. http://www.redrivercatalog.com/cost-of-inkjet-printing-canon-pro-100.html

I keep very careful records. I usually print once a month (3 -13"x19") prints. I find the Pixma Pro 100 averages 41 (13"x19") prints per cartridge. Some colors get 30 prints per cartridge and some as much as 60 prints per cartridge. But it averages out to 41 prints. On the Canon site they show how many 11"x14" prints they get per cartridge. Interestingly enough if you measure the print sizes in sq. inches and convert to 13"x19" it comes out to the same results I have achieved.

I have never calculated it by individual photo. I can tell you that I own a Canon PRO-100 printer, and I purchase 3 of the 8 color packs of cartridges annually at a cost of $125 per pack - total $375 per year. But I do all of my printing on the same printer. An educated guess is between 500 and 600 photos 4 x 6. So a wild guess is around 25 cents per photo. Not a very scientific answer, but my best guess.

I print 8X10 images on a regular basis and have averaged a cost of about $1.80 in ink per image. Your 4X6 print is about 1/4 that of a full page so a close est. would be about 45-50 cents worth of ink for each print.

I don't know how much it costs, but if printing large format photo's like 13x19... after approx. 4 prints or so, you start to loose ink in cartridges. So for 4x6, you can print more, but once a single cartridge dry out, you have to spend 15.00 bucks for 1. It also depends on deep dark colors in photo's that will lessen ink.

You will get a lot fewer prints if there is a long interval between prints. I print a 4x6 swatch every weekend to keep the head from drying, plus have printed a few 13x19 and maybe 25 4x6, and at 25 weeks I got my first "low ink warning"; so that's about 100 4x6 prints, with probably another 25 to go before I have to replace one of the inks. By contrast, printing a dozen 4x6 photos on the same day does not even move the ink supply indicator, so I'd believe 200-400 numbers others reported with frequent printing. In other words, just turning it on uses a little ink every time.

Won't do it. You have to replace the color ink and then it will work till the black runs out. Then replace the black etc. This seems to be a problem to some people but no big issue to me. I can deal with that small issued knowing my prints are waterproof and the ink is a lot cheaper than most.

I have the Epson Stylus RX 680 and have printed (100) 4 X 6 pictures with no problems and it only used 1/3 of the ink tanks. My printer has 6 individual tanks. Before I bought the printer, I read all the reviews and everyone said to use only Epson paper. (Amazon carries it pretty cheap.) My settings were on the glossy, photo, premium photo paper. They came out amazing! Check epson.com as I'm sure they will have any type of paper you like.

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

Yeah it will print 8x10, but I'm not sure you would get many sheets before you run out of ink.. And to refill the ink, it's about $50.. It is also rather slow when it comes to photo printing. Hope this helps.

We are now on our third or fourth set of cartridges in our Canon MG6220 with no problems at all. I am leary of using this ink for photo printing if I want pictures that last for many years. Otherwise.....this ink is great!

Yes I am happy with this printer, and I print 4x6s I have not printed other sizes yet, let me know if you have any question

As long as you have enough ink you should be just fine. I use HP photo paper (I'm pretty sure it's even 4x6) and I've always had mine turn out really nicely.

I think if you adjust your image size as you wish, then print to a larger sized standard paper (like 13x19 or 14x17), you'd get what you need. You'd have to trim the excess, of course. A bit wasteful, but not sure how many printers in this range can handle custom sized media.

You can also look for a Continuous Ink System to help cut down the ink costs. They have an initial upfront cost of course, but you won't go crazy trying to keep full tanks and spend less on ink in the long run.

I already answered this for someone else. All depends on what you print and what size. Different people will give you different answers.I can't tell you you'll get 30 prints per cartridge. You have to decide if paying for prints is cheaper than doing it yourself. If you sell printsthen you'll get your money back. Bottom line, I have no regrets.

I recently printed some photos of my grandkids on glossy-premium photo paper from Office Max and they turned out beautiful. I also printed some 4 x 6 prints. It is relatively easy to adjust the printer to accommodate different sizes, just read the instruction book. I would suggest printing on plain paper every 8 to 10 prints though, just to keep the inks from slight overrun. This would probably be avoided if you got a more matte photo paper. It's a great printer for any project I've tried.

I am not the seller, just a buyer that was impressed with the product. I have no idea how much ink I received as it is at my summer home.....But it looks like I could refill the cartridge many times. Contact the SELLER with your question

yes sir/madam, this printer will print only 4x6 photos and it is fantastic , i have 6 of them. you will have to use it every day or every next day to prevent the print heads from clogging. to clean the heads , the printer uses a lot of ink in that process so, if you are going to print seldomly, then do not buy this printer. i am a photographer and i use one of the six printers every day, the rest are spears. good luck

Hi Mike ~ I did a lot of research before making my purchase; I would say go for it, I simply put in my model printer and went with the best bang for the buck and I'm soooooo glad I did and trust me, this is the only way I'll be buying my ink� hope this helped!

Yes, just select black & white when the print selection pops up. Always buy the XXL Ink in B&W; and the color pack. Much cheaper and prints a lot more pages. If U need more on the ink just ask another ?Merry Christmas!Rich
