I don't know if this info is of use to you, but I run a Canon S400 and find that it is cheap to run (Refills from Canon about £8.00UK & recycled cartridges about £5.00UK) and has enough ink to print around 300 pages. I tried using a refill kit butv the blacks tended to be greenish and had to constantly clean the nozzles, pity, it would have worked out about half the price I'm paying now. Oh well, you can't win em all.
Hope this helps, Barry K Tyler
