what kind of ink does it use

It's a standard canon ink cartridge available at Walmart, Office Max and others that usually run from $8 to $13.00. Mine is still using the original cartridges, except for the gray that I have printed about 15 8x10's in color and 9 black and white's and various other sizes since I purchased this printer.

if you type in the brand of your printer you will be able to use that kind of ink in your printer. It works and I loved it! When I get my new printer I will buy them again. The only issue I had with some of them they were dried out but when I returned them they sent the ones that were dried out and I did not have a problem with them. I just gave them like 2 stars because I had to send them back. Other than that the product was really good and it worked for my canon printer. I had a canon PIXma I believe that is what is is called lol but it worked great

Have not tried it with generic ink, sorry! But honestly, I do not like this printer at all, uses a lot of ink.

I have no idea. It worked well for awhile with my printer but I have since moved on and am not only using OEM inks.

it uses standard paper rolls and for ink it uses a mini ink roller cartridge,...it comes with one already built in,...i cant estimate how long it lasts but i bought mine 4-5 months ago, and with regular use, it shows no signs of depletion so far....nice red and black numbers very readable...!!

Any standard fountain pen ink will do whether it is 'washable' or 'permanent'. As for cartridges, there are examples on the website for their pens. They look like fairly standard 'international' cartridges to me. You can get them at stationary and department stores or office supply stores.

I am not sure, but I would use the ink especially for the photo smart printer. It is cheaper anyways. Hope this helps, rwc

Yes they use the standard cartridge ink. That's what I use and have had no issues.

It absolutely does use a TON of ink. And half the time it won't recognize the cartridges- even when they're Epson ones. Epson replaced my first malfunctioning printer and now this second one is doing the SAME thing. I'm so done with Epson.

It uses a syringe. Don't bother with this truly lousy "system". You'll have ink everywhere and the cartridges may not work (mine didn't). DO NOT BUY.

I've used it with Montblanc Mystery Black ink and that worked really well. I've also used Private Reserve, Noodler's, Parker Quink, and J. Herbin. They all seemed to work pretty well. The J. Herbin ink was a little too wet, the Noodler's ink (Blue) was a great ink and I enjoyed the Private Reserve and Parker ink equally as well. Lamy also makes ink. I haven't used them myself but I've heard good things about them.

That actually depends on which settings you use. However, on "normal" settings with "normal" white paper, it is quite efficient with ink. What makes this printer exceptional with ink, is each color has its own reservoir. You only need to replace the color that is low. Whereas on other printers you have to replace the entire "color" ink cartridge, which is a waste.

I agree. The Blick Waterbased Printmaking Ink works best. However you can also add an acrylic extender into the Tempera and it works good too.
