| | Monolith, even at £12.50 a set, you're still reasonably well in front, as against £18.00 for the Canon product.
Yes Neil, that's £18 per cartridge (£90) per set.
I'm very much better of at £12.50
So the £90 set is approx $180AUS |

As to Record Collector's comment about Boz Scaggs' "We're All Alone", all I can say is "Ribbit, ribbit!"(ha-ha) |

| | The last time I priced Canon genuine ink for my printer was quite a few years ago, don't even know if they still support it.
They were £18 a pop X 5 cartridges, that's £90 a set.
My compatibles (Black Diamond) were £2 each meaning £10 a set.
My dealer recently upped his prices and now I have to pay £12.50 a set.
Which is still a damn sight cheaper than Canon. |

| | @Monolith: "Oh and I use compatible ink cos the original is out of my price range and is a rip-off". Yeah!!!! I've been using G & G ink cartridges for mine, they're only roughly a third of the price that Canon charges for their "genuine" cartridges, and the G & G ones work fine and last as long as Canon's. Works out a heck of a lot cheaper. The colour(yellow/magenta/cyan) and the smaller black cartridge(not the thicker "page-black" for document printing), I get them for $11.95 each at a "Leading Edge" computer shop in Nelson Bay(north of Newcastle, by about 40 minutes' drive, about 57 kilometres, give or take a few). The Canon's go for around $30. The G & G page-blacks are a bit over $12. |

| | The first CD printer I bought was the iP3000, it went tits-up, so I bought an iP4000 as a replacement.
It burned down, fell over and sank into the swamp, but I bought another 4000 and it's still running.
I kept going with the Canon ones cos the software was the same and the saved templates would have been useless on a different make.
I've even got a spare 4000 in the roof space in case I need it. Bought on eBay second hand.
These days most of my stuff in on hard drives so I don't burn as much.
But the occasional time I need the facility.
Oh and I use compatible ink cos the original is out of my price range and is a rip-off. |

| | Hi. Monolith, my printer's an IP-4850! What's your model? |

Monolith 30th Jun 2015
| | Would that be a Pixma iP 3000 or a 4000 maybe? |

| | Yep, Gotta be careful with cassettes. It's the inventor of the format that I blame, Philips. If any other company had come up with the idea, say EMI, or any of the German companies, they would've done a far better job in developing the format. I've stopped using cassettes anyway(except for extracting content off them), I burn all my music to home-compiled CDs these days, inkjet-printable ones too, so I can design my own labels and print straight to the disc with my Canon printer that has that CD-printing feature. |

| | I bought cassette copies of this and "Down Two Then Left" issued on Rainbow(brand) cassettes in a two-fer pack(each in its own case with its own card) but late bought them on CD. The cassettes were disappointing as they jammed(bad mechanism - probably Rainbow were using product from a dodgy supplier of cassette blanks). As for song, We're All Alone, think I prefer Scaggs' own version over Rita Coolidge's. |
