Carrot Ink 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
The thing is that the CR review says that the off-brand ink cartridges actually print less pages than the real deal.
Also, the Carrot Ink was priced at $32 vs $44 for the real Canon stuff. It’s not half price, and it doesn’t have the same amount of ink.
Yes you can say that the coupon helps to bring down the price, but then again you could just wait there to be a $10 off $40 coupon at staples or officemax or somewhere and buy the Canon cartridges so the logic doesn’t work well.
Anyways I’m not threadcrapping, I’ve bought off brand inks before and sometimes they’ll save a bit of money, but to be honest I no longer think that it’s worth the tradeoff in quality overall.
In particular, genuine Canon ink cartridges can be obtained pretty cheaply-much cheaper than HP/Lexmark anyways, so I don’t think it’s really neccessary to go with a generic.
Usually if I want cheap genuine Canon stuff I’ll look on ebay, since people often buy a lot of ink then have a printer break or something like that (hey it’s happened to me a lot of times-still have expired HP 45 cartridges, and I had about 10 spare canon cartridges). That way I won’t have to worry about cruddy ink quality and I don’t have to pay an arm and a leg either.
Consumer Reports did say that the Amazon Imaging blacks would save you some money if you just print blacks though-the black cartridges from Carrot Ink did noticably worse than the Canons while the Amazons apparently didn’t. But the Amazons have horrible horrible graphics quality so they’re for people who only print in black and white.

But then again if you just print in black and white laser printers are the most cost effective anyways, so it’s still rather silly-especially since you can get lasers so cheap after rebate now.
