Thoughts on EZink as a viable (quality, good colors) alternative for Canon ink. Amazon has 2 5-packs(220/221's) for only $12.95?

    none of the "replacement" inks available are particularly "good quality". especially compared to the OEM inks.

    the pull of replacement inks is not their quality, but rather their price. they can be as much as HALF the price of OEM ink.

    but because the quality is so poor, and often the ink dries up before it is used, it is often not worth the risk using them.

    Ty (Kitty) for validating my thoughts.   EZink is $1.30 per cartridge vs the $16 or so per OEM Canon ink.  The problem is that Canon ink may not be immediately available in my local Staples Stationary store.  Thankfully Amazon only takes 2 - 3 days to ship.
