Peter-
I have had several Canon Printers and have been very happy with all of them.
Better than Epson's I previously used. Am presently using a i560 and a
iP4000 and both do an excellent job for most printing needs. I haven't
noticed any particular problems with the ink bleeding thru the paper.
Both do a good job on photo's. There are some more advanced printers, 5
head, 7 head but the price goes up considerably.
I refill my ctg's numerous times with no problems. I prefer NCR or Universal
brand refill inks.
My two cents-
