Canon Printer Ts3150
7 Answers
Well I have ended up using my printer more that I thought as they were forms so of course I have very little ink left.
I certainly don't want the expensive prices for the Canon cartridges so would anybody know where I could find replacement ones. Thanks

I have used these and find find them good value. The compatible Canon ink cartridges are good and not very expensive.

My regular ink supplier (Inkredible) only stocks original Canon inks for your printer, so I've taken a look at what my back-up supplier, Premier Ink, (which I can also recommend) has to offer instead:

Several ABers have recommended Stinky Ink in the past:

Cartridge World also has some fans here:

The PG-545 cartridge you've bought only has 8ml of ink in it. It makes sense to opt for a PG-545XL cartridge, which has 15ml of ink in it if you buy an original Canon one or sometimes slightly more (e.g. 17ml) if you buy a third-party one. It works out a lot cheaper!
e.g. If you look at this screenshot from the site you used, you'll see that the 'ordinary' cartridge on the right costs £13.99 (inc VAT) but the 'XL' one on the left, with roughly double the capacity, costs £17.99: https:/

Having had problems with so-called compatibles, - granted it was Lexmark - I now use a Canon Pixma MB2350 machine and use only Canon original ink cartridges which are expensive, but working professionally & mostly in colour I don't have to worry about time-consuming issues.
I have found (thanks to ABs 'The Builder') that you don't have to fall for the ink running out warning notifications & it's possible to squeeze out quite a lot more printing by ignoring these & using a variety of tricks. I also think that the quality of Canon inks is better & will prove to be less fugitive from light.

I genuinely can't tell the difference between genuine Canon inks and the ones I get from Inkredible, Khandro. With genuine inks costing £66.49 but third party ones costing £15.54 (for a full set of five, in each case), I'll be sticking with the third party ones. (Although I can often go for long periods without using my printer, there have been times when I've got through three or four full sets of inks in well under a month. That can mean a couple of hundred quid difference in the price of the inks for that month!)
What I am fussy about though (and what, in my opinion, makes FAR more difference than the brand of inks used) is the quality of the paper that I print on. For regular documents I only use 90gsm HP Premium paper. For most photo prints, I use HP Everyday Glossy Photo Paper but for prints that, say, I'm framing as gifts for friends, I use Kodak Ultra Premium Photo Paper. I never cease to be amazed by people who swear blind that they can tell the difference between different ink brands but who then buy their photo paper in Poundland (or similar) and wonder why they don't get great prints!

well Chris - when I went onto that site of mine ink'ntoner - I was able to chat - he did advise to go for the £14.99 because the original was £11.66 - he said that the £14.99 will give me double the ink.
